Battlefield 2042 lets people take part in massive multiplayer arenas to destroy enemies. Explore the vast world of Battlefield and fight foes in seven large-scale maps and emerge victoriously. The warfare game has dozens of devastating weapons to decimate soldiers and conquer territories.
Over 128 players can connect to the game across platforms such as Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. They can team up with friends and traverse dynamic environments that include metropolitan cities, coastal beaches, sandy deserts, and cargo containers. Despite putting countless hours into the game, new players and veterans tend to make these blunders while playing Battlefield 2042.
9 Not Leveling Up Fast Enough
Leveling up is crucial to get hold of advanced weapons and gadgets in Battlefield 2042. Killing hundreds of enemies gives a good amount of XP after every game. Destroying enemies on the battleground can help people complete objectives and earn ribbons with 1000 XP.
Ranking up to level 27 can give players access to the assault rifle SFAR-M GL. The assault rifle has an impressive rate of fire and can be used with automatic and semi-automatic modes to shoot up enemies on the map. Gamers that have reached level 53 can use the submachine gun K30 to dominate soldiers in close-range.
8 Playing Solo In Multiplayer Mode
Battlefield 2042 is designed for a multiplayer experience. Playing with people online can be entertaining and fulfilling objectives with the team can be rewarding for the entire party. Hunting enemies together can help the team outnumber opponents and corner them for easy kills.
Players can put up shields around teammates to protect them from incoming damage. Keep an eye on friends and allies from vantage points on the map. Taking down soldiers before they can kill will reinforce team spirit in a war-torn land.
7 Shooting With Basic Weapons
Battlefield 2042 offers a range of weapons from the start of the game. Submachine guns such as SMG-45 and PP-19 need not be unlocked in the game. The PP-29 is a submachine gun that can be unlocked at level 18 and comes with a better grip on the barrel to reduce recoil during fights.
MP9 is a submachine gun with plenty of bullets per magazine and can be unlocked at level 36. Emptying out these bullets on enemies in close-range can feel more satisfying than killing enemies with the SMG-45.
6 Sprinting On The Ground
The game's fascinating visuals, such as the gigantic ships of Discarded and the rocket launch of Orbital, are stunning to gaze at. While these constructions are beautiful, they can be distracting for players sprinting on the battlefield.
Moving through these battle zones by foot can be time-consuming and leaves players open to being hit by enemies scouring the various sectors of the game. Mounting vehicles and driving past enemies will give people a chance to cover distances faster without getting killed on the ground.
5 Spawning At The Same Spot
There are numerous ways to enter battles in Battlefield 2042. Entering the map in busy sectors that are teeming with opponents can get people killed within seconds of spawning. Choose locations that have not been infiltrated by enemies to last longer in the fight.
People can barge into battle in armored vehicles for a safer entry into war zones. These vehicles can prevent players from taking damage while exploring the map. Spawning at different places and in unfamiliar sectors of the map can provide an opportunity to overwhelm opponents and capture control points.
4 Ignoring Allies That Need To Be Healed
Game modes in Battlefield 2042 such as Conquest and Breakthrough require the team to drain enemy lives and make them retreat. Showing strength in numbers can intimidate enemies and force them to evacuate sectors of the map. While allies fight soldiers on the battlefront, they are bound to get injured. These injuries can easily be healed by players willing to help their teammates.
People can use medical crates, boxes that can be hurled at allies to heal them. Once a medical crate has been placed, it has a cooldown before it can be used again. Medical crates are gears that are pre-unlocked and can be placed by anyone in the game. Healing allies is a necessary step towards winning every match.
3 Engaging Enemies From Aircraft
Battlefield 2042 makes all its vehicles accessible to people from the minute the game is launched. Aircrafts such as the MD540 Nightbird, MV-38 Condor, and F-35E Panther make flying around the map a sheer joy.
Aiming at enemies from the aircraft can be hard for players new to the game. Beginners spending too much time in flight can cause them to reduce their kill count. The aircraft's sound makes it easily detectable, and multiple enemies shooting at the airborne vehicle can cause it to land abruptly.
2 Staying Silent In-Game
Battlefield 2042 has millions of players fighting on the frontlines. The Conquest and Breakthrough modes enable more than 128 people to fight in each game. Being silent in the midst of all that action can take away from the fun.
Wearing a headset and talking to teammates in real-time can help people coordinate attacks on the battleground. Listening to friends shouting and screaming over their kills can add to the enthusiasm. For players without headsets, the chat option is available at the touch of a button and can make the interactions meaningful.
1 Taking Eyes Off The Minimap
The minimap is an important aspect of Battlefield 2042. Placed at the left-hand corner of the screen, the minimap entails critical details such as the sectors in possession, enemy count, ally count, and status of online friends.
Glancing at the minimap every few minutes can provide directions on the sectors that need to be defended and the sectors that need to be captured. The player count right on top of the minimap gives a good indication of the strategy that needs to be executed to win the game.
Battlefield 2042 can be played on Xbox One, Xbox X|S, Playstation 4, PlayStation5, and PC.
