Battlefield 2042 Season 5: What to Expect?

The end of Levithan Rising in Battlefield 2042 is approaching, which means a new content cycle is on the horizon for players on PS5, Xbox, and PC. Developer EA DICE is preparing to introduce Battlefield 2042 Season 5, which includes a range of overhauls, buffs, and a notable addition of the game's Vault Weapons for some of the most iconic weapons from the Battlefield series.

EA DICE confirms that they will be adapting Vault Weapons to All-Out Warfare attachments starting from Season 5. Vault Weapons include weapons from Battlefield 3 and Battlefield Bad Company 2 such as M16A3 and M60. However, their use in the game has been limited so far and significantly inferior compared to the game's main arsenal.

Vault Weapon Customizations: Which Weapons are Affected?

In the first phase, assault rifles and sniper rifles with attachments for the ACW-R, M16A3, A-91, M416, MTAR-21, AEK-971, and GOL Sniper Magnum will be revamped. EA DICE states that adjusting the ammunition will require more work, as All-Out Warfare and its attachments were not developed with the Vault Weapons in mind.

Improved Weapon Appearance and Universal Skins

Nevertheless, the appearance of the weapons will be enhanced by expanding universal skins such as Forest Multi-Terrain (unlocked at rank 0) and Desert Technical (unlocked at rank 19) to all Vault Weapons. Additionally, these skins will also be available in the Battlefield Portal.

Community Involvement and Future Updates

To increase the performance of the Vault Weapons, EA DICE is working with the Battlefield 2042 community. By adding attachments, their performance is expected to improve, but the development team needs feedback to continue assessing the strength of each Vault Weapon. With the introduction of more classic weapons in the future, now is a good time to revisit the game. So, make sure to equip the best Battlefield 2042 specialists and check out what Battlefield 2042 has to offer on Xbox Game Pass.

Conclusion

The upcoming Vault Weapon customizations in Battlefield 2042 Season 5 are sure to bring fresh air and exciting gameplay possibilities. It's a good time to take on the game again or discover it anew.
