Battlefield 2042 – Road to Battlefield 6

New Map: Iwo Jima

Brand new to Battlefield 2042, Iwo Jima is a fan favorite previously seen in Battlefield 1942, Battlefield 1943, and Battlefield V. In Battlefield 2042 the map will feature an active Volcano, so be on the lookout for some spectacle when you explore Iwo Jima. To really immerse you, the map also features boat landings, bunkers, and trenches on a reimagined 700×200 map that will give you plenty of options to flex your tactical muscles.

Weapons

Update 9.2 will add two weapons and two vault vehicles to your arsenal.

  • KFS2000 – Assault Rifle: A formidable assault rifle with an iconic look. Thanks to its bullpup design the KFS2000 is highly accurate and easier to control making it an excellent choice for most combat scenarios.
  • Lynx – Sniper Rifle: If you joined us during the Battlefield 6 Open Beta, you will receive the Lynx with Update 9.2. Players that didn't participate in the Beta will still have a chance to acquire the weapon later down the line. The Lynx is a vicious semi automatic anti material rifle with a respectable rate of fire. It houses a very large cartridge mainly intended to demolish environments and deal damage to vehicles.

Vehicles

A10 Warthog and SU-25TM Frogfoot: We also have two new Attack Jets coming to All out Warfare, the A 10 Warthog and the SU25-TM Frogfoot! With new and tweaked abilities, they'll fly into your roster with ease. With the added abilities, the team has diversified their position in the roster, and both Jets are configured to be vehicle busters!

Free Battlepass – 60 Tiers of Free Cosmetics

The Road to Battlefield Battlepass will run from August 18 to October 7, which gives you plenty of time to unlock  the 60 free tiers that arrive with Update 9.2! The pass celebrates different eras of the Battlefield franchise, with cosmetics inspired by the legacy of the games that came before Battlefield 2042.
