EA announces Battlefield 2042: Redux

Today, the Battlefield 2042 team released the latest Development Update detailing all the exciting content for the shooter. Hosted by DICE Community Manager Tom Straatman and Producer Bruce Brodie, the video dives into a first look at Season 6 - coming in October 2023 - and its new map, as well as an introduction to Redux, where players can experience their favourite Battlefield 2042 gameplay moments between the end of Season 5 and the start of Season 6.

Starting August 29, and running for six weeks, Battlefield 2042: Redux will give players the opportunity to re-engage and reap weekly rewards. Players will find new ways to play across their favourite maps and modes, including Rush Chaos XL, Tactical Conquest, Breakthrough Chaos, Conquest Assault and Shutdown, and plenty of chaos in true Battlefield style.

The rewards in Redux range from new content such as character, vehicle and weapon skins, to previous Store content that now becomes earnable. Alongside updated modes and rewards, players can anticipate Quality of Life enhancements, including a new Codex for those wanting to learn more about the World of 2042.

REDUX OVERVIEW

During Redux we're excited to bring back new ways to play across your favourite modes and maps, as well as make new and returning weekly rewards available to earn from Rush Chaos XL, Tactical Conquest, Breakthrough Chaos to Conquest Assault, Shutdown and more. We're giving you a wide variety of ways to play and earn rewards.

But we're not just bringing these modes back as they were. We've listened to your feedback, so expect refined modes every week, on more maps, and with new player counts.

This also includes the return of The Liquidators, Battle of Nordvik and Leviathan Rising Limited-Time Events, and modes.

EARNING REWARDS

During Redux we’ll have a dedicated progression track where you'll be able to earn Ribbons to unlock rewards. Just like you're used to from our seasonal Limited Time Events. However, we're making earning them easier and faster for you.

You can now earn Ribbons to unlock rewards through all official game modes in both All-Out Warfare and Battlefield Portal. That means during Redux you can play your official mode of choice and always progress towards earning rewards.

The rewards range from entirely new content such as character, vehicle and weapon skins, to previous Store content that now becomes earnable. We also have several Double XP weekends lined up to help speed up your progress!

We still want to keep the excitement of being able to discover new rewards, but we’ve already listed some examples for you here:

The Steady Drill skin for the AK-24
Vigilante cosmetic skin for Charlie Crawford
Cybergeddon outfit for Dozer
The Cataclysm skin for the PBX-45
Hijacker weapon charm
And more!

REDUX COMMUNITY CALENDAR

There is a wide variety of modes available for play during Redux which you can now play on more maps and with increased weather effects. We've prepared an overview for you with our Community Calendar.
