Wondering what game modes you can experience in the latest installment in the series? Below, we go over all game modes for Battlefield 2042 and what they entail.
Here Are All Game Modes in Battlefield 2042
- All-Out Warfare: Battlefield All-Out Warfare actually includes two game modes: Breakthrough and Conquest. Both of these take place on large maps, and feature a player count as high as 128 for those who are on current gen systems. If you are on a previous gen system, you can experience battles with up to 64 players.
- Battlefield Portal: If you want to play classic maps from Battlefield 3, Bad Company 2, and Battlefield 1942, you can do so in Battlefield Portal. You also can customize game modes in detail to have a fully personalized Battlefield experience. To do this, access the Battlefield Portal Experience Builder. You should never run out of interesting permutations to create since there are so many settings you can control. Find out more about Battlefield Portal in this post.
- Battlefield Hazard Zone: Next up is the game mode that a lot of people originally assumed was going to be battle royale. Instead, it is something different, with a focus on squad combat. Each squad has four members. When you are dropped into the map, it is your job to look for satellites and get Data Drives from them. You then head to the extraction zone to exfil. If your team all goes down, you can still respawn, but you will have to start over with the intel gathering and any supplies you had picked up along the way. You can compare this mode to Hunt: Showdown or Escape from Tarkov.
Excited to dive into all these Battlefield 2042 game modes? If you bought the Standard edition (or plan to), you are going to have to wait until November 19th. But early access is open to those who bought the Gold or Ultimate editions. So, you can grab either of those if you want to jump in. There are also a couple of options for early access via different subscriptions. You can read our full guide here for how to get Battlefield 2042 early access.
