Battlefield 2042’s third multiplayer season is set to introduce some new high-tech firepower to DICE’s shooter on November 22, including the addition of a railgun and a transforming tank that can detect the source of incoming attacks.
The tank in question, the EMKV90-TOR Tank, can be used in two different modes. Mobility mode allows the tank to navigate swiftly around the battlefield, while transforming into Siege mode significantly slows down the tank’s maneuverability in exchange for massive firepower. A special detection system allows the EMKV90-TOR to locate the source of attacks and display them on its HUD.
Titled Escalation, Battlefield 2042 Season 3 will also introduce a new Assault Specialist in the Egyptian-born Zain, who comes equipped with his own high-tech arsenal. His XM370A Airburst Rifle gadget allows him to root out enemies hiding behind cover by firing explosive rounds that detonate in mid-air. Zain himself excels at being on the frontlines, as killing enemies activates his Perseverance trait, which allows him to regenerate health rapidly after dispatching enemies.
