Battlefield 2042 Announces New Dark Protocol Event

"Killswitch is our new limited-time game mode for Battlefield 2042. Your objective is to secure AI nodes, and to use the on-site Forge to create a swarm of synthetic soldiers: Geists, who'll fight alongside anyone that spawns them. Defend your objectives, survive the onslaught, and stop the AI's spread. Complete the protocol: this is a test you can't afford to fail. It's a tightly focused, fear-inducing mode where you and your squad will have to master your fears while danger lurks around every corner. Killswitch is played as 12v12 across Redacted, Manifest, Hourglass, Spearhead."

• Secure – AOS nodes are objectives around the level that activate one at a time. Enter the node and hold it until captured, interrupted or otherwise, to score the node, and 1 point for your team. With no capture speed multipliers, a single teammate can hold the point and make capture progress, freeing the rest of the team to set up ambushes and prepare for a counter-attack that is sure to come.
• Synthesize – The AOS nodes aren't the only objective. Boreas' Geist spawner – the Forge – is online. If you can't seem to break through the enemy's defenses, or need more muscle to fortify a held point, interact with the Forge to deploy a small squad of Geists to ambush any enemies foolish enough to engage them.
• Survive – Once you take an AOS node, you score 1 point, disabling the node, and activating the next one. Race the enemy to it, and try to hold it as best you can through the barrage of gunfire and Geists. The first team to score 5 points wins.
