Battlefield at the base
Key elements players can expect this test:
- Map: Battlefield is no stranger to epic cards, and this brand new card has been built for the experience of Battle Royale. It offers a diversified range of tactical points of interest, each with distinct provisions and themes that offer unique gameplay opportunities.
- Vehicles: Players can find common transport vehicles around the card and even unlock powerful armored vehicles to turn the battle wave. The intention is to offer players more ways to cross the card very early in a match and create an interesting combined combined action in the process.
- Tactical destruction: Destruction will be everywhere in this mode. From the creation of tracks through the walls to the reversed buildings, we are impatient to see the ingenuity of the players with the destruction and how they use it to overcome their opponents.
- Team: For this test, each match will include 100 players, organized in 25 teams of four players, fighting to be the last standing. Communication with your team via pings, text or VoIP aims to stimulate experience and improve their tactical options.
- Second chances: Between the Revivre support class and the mobile redeployment options, there are several tools to keep your team in the fight
BR’s deadliest ring
We decided to bring the most dangerous ring in the game to fight royal which instantly kills the players in contact. With urgent warnings as the fire approaches, soldiers will be pushed to more intense fire combinations while the playing space continues to shrink. There is no jump and get out of there, not use for the cover, not cross it – if you go about it, you are finished. We are delighted to see how the ring affects the rhythm of the game and how it creates spontaneous confrontations.
Course, training and traits
Each squad can plan and choose which of the classes it will bring to the battle. From a balanced team of the four classes to a targeted team that is the class, your team will use the unique strengths and weaknesses of their class to adapt and overcome the unique tactical scenarios they encounter in the experience of Battle Royale. Once a match begins, players are unable to change their class for the rest of this match.
The players start the match with two default gadgets from their chosen class. During each match, the players come together by winning XP through a variety of methods such as the defeat of an opposing player (bonuses to finish a team!) Or finish the missions. Be on the lookout for Intel cases: finding them is crucial because they will provide XP to the whole team.
While players are progressing in the training of their class, they will have access to new features that improve their chosen class and give both and their team a tactical advantage in the match. An example would be the assault class being faster to equip an armor plate which makes them more difficult to defeat during their next (or current).
In Battlefield Labs, we will see how players use the classes to build the most effective teams and how their unique features contribute to each match. For example:
- How critical is the support for the support class for the maintenance of ammunition?
- What is the effectiveness of engineer’s capacities when using or combating vehicles?
The arms race
Throughout each match, the players will explore the card, the complete missions and the battle for the booty to define their arsenal. There are 5 levels of weapons to plunder with attachments, trace launchers (eg Grenades Frag), gadgets (eg RPG), typing packages (eg air strike), armor, upgrade kits and personalized drops of favored weapons. These items can be found through experience through general loot funds, class specific to class, unlocking armored trucks, mission rewards or looting of defeated enemies.
The missions will have squads will try to achieve objectives that offer additional rewards to gain a competitive advantage over their opponents. The tasks range from the unlocking of high value caches to the planting of explosives to eliminate critical mission targets. Details of the mission will describe the rewards available such as a cache of arms, a vehicle key or a mobile redeployment unit, leaving each team to decide whether the risk is worth the potential reward. Once the objective of the mission is completed, the rewards are disseminated, the squads should therefore remain vigilant for other people who can try to steal them.
These missions are designed to challenge the teamwork of your team and reward the precise execution under pressure, with the potential to change the momentum of the battle. The booty, the armor and the way players engage with the missions are essential to the game flow and we look forward to seeing how the players connect and push these gameplay areas in Battlefield Labs.
To fall
Testing this new mode and all its features with the community is the true power of battlefield laboratories. We are delighted to hear about the experiences of the players as they explore the ins and outs of this royal battle made the battlefield. We look forward to sharing more details once the tests are completed and we examined the players’ comments.
