DICE has just announced the upcoming Future Strike event for Battlefield 2042, set to kick off on May 28 and run until June 10, 2024. While Season 7 may be the final chapter for Battlefield 2042, the support for the game continues with exciting events like Future Strike.
Future Strike promises intense squad vs. squad action, with a focus on close-quarters combat in 4v4 or 8v8 scenarios. This event emphasizes the importance of teamwork and individual skill to secure victory for your team. When a soldier is downed, they enter a "down but not out" state, allowing them to crawl and be revived. If they perish in this state, they can redeploy as an OV-P Recon Drone to provide crucial information to their squadmates.
Each round in Future Strike lasts only 90 seconds, making every decision critical. The event features Shock Rounds where all players use the same locked loadout, testing your adaptability and strategic prowess. Squads are limited to one Specialist, adding a layer of strategy as teams can see the opponent's composition and adjust their characters accordingly.
The objective is clear: capture the objective or eliminate the enemy team to win a round. The first squad to secure six rounds emerges victorious. Future Strike takes place on maps like:
- Stadium
- Breakaway
- Flashpoint
- Noshahr Canals
- Reclaimed
- Redacted
- Haven
- Arica Harbor
- Spearhead
- Exposure
- Valparaiso
