Battlefield 2042 – Update 8.9.0
Three Mass Effect cosmetics are also available for players through progression during the event, including a legendary weapon skin inspired by Mass Effect renown AR, M8 Avenger. Battlefield 2042 players can also participate in Conquest Ascension. Rise above the rest and train for a new century of warfare. Use Ascension tactics with added crawl and squad spectating mechanics to assure the future for humanity that any commander would be proud of. Update 8.9.0 also includes a host of improvements including weapon changes. A new type of magazine attachment is being introduced: the Underloaded Magazine. This is a standard issue magazine but with fewer bullets in it, making it faster and easier to handle. But with fewer rounds, players must decide if improved weapon handling is preferable to reduced damage output over time.

- Scoped & Dropped Bundle – 2000 BFC: Whether you're tearing across the battlefield or shooting bottles with an old friend, you need the best gear in the galaxy to do the job right.
