Battlefield 2042 has a lot to offer in terms of game modes already. These include weekly rotating ones like costume game modes, as well as fan favorites like the conquest modes of Battlefield 3. With all this considered, 2042 has become the fan service Battlefield game. Despite the lackluster reception that it sadly got, the game has several new features including a mode called Hazard Mode, which does stand out from the other game modes. Unlike the other game modes like Conquest and Breakthrough, which are just chaotic battles, Hazard Mode relies on teamwork.
The game mode sets players on a map with squads of four, requiring them to recover data drives from crashed satellites and get out alive Hazard Mode is very different than different that other game modes, so it can be complicated at first. Practicing often, plus using these tips, should help players have a good time and even win more matches.
5 Playing With Bots
Hazard Zone allows players to play with bots. This can be a good way of banking in the Dark Credit Points, the currency for the mode to buy new weapons and equipment. Playing with bots gives players a good idea of how the game mode works, helping them get a general feel of the new mode. Although the mode can be played with both bots and real players on the field, players should go after the bots first for the easy points.
What’s more, fighting against bots initially allows them to get better weapons. This means the bots will then drop these weapons, which will give players have an easier time getting more points. In general, bots give players more time to do things and they’re usually all together near data drives. This makes accumulating points easier.
4 Use Uplinks To Spawn Vehicles
Unlike in other modes, where vehicles spawn at points, players must find an uplink to spawn vehicles in Hazard Mode . These can help get players in and out of situations very quickly if used correctly. The good thing is that most of these uplinks aren’t outside, but inside buildings. This makes accessing them easier since enemies can’t see players doing it. Vehicles help players get points regardless of the mode, and Hazard Mode is no different.
Uplinks aren’t just limited to vehicles. They can also get players the rangers (helpful robo-dogs) and reinforcement uplinks that allow dead players to spawn on them quicker. In order for players to use uplings to their advantage, it’s always a good idea to get to them early on and often as possible. What’s more, uplinks can be reused, so stocking up as early is quite beneficial.
3 Picking the Right Specialist
Much like Hazard Zone, these specialists are new to the series and they each have different things to offer. But players should consider which specialists they should take. Many of them are a good way of leveling up in other modes, so in this context, it’s a little different. Players will be drawn to use their favorites but should understand different modes call for different play types. Having mobile specialists like Sundance or Mackay may not be the best in this mode, because they don’t rely heavily on their team.
On the other hand, someone like Irish or Dozer can hold positions and drop shields. Meanwhile, Falck or Angel can drop heals, revives, and ammo, all of which is beneficial. Playing Hazard Mode requires a little more strategy than the other modes, because its objectives are harder to get to and teams have fewer people to reach those objectives. Having a squad composition to fill the roles of healer, shield, recon, and supplier players will be able to help out one another which will make winning much easier.
2 Do Everything Early
This rule is pretty much universal across all the modes in Battlefield 2042: getting to the objective will give the player’s team or squad a head start. Just like in Breakthrough, getting the drives as soon as possible not only gives players points but also contributes to them getting Dark Credit Points. Since players have gotten to the data drives earlier, all they need to do is defend while waiting for it to be extracted. Depending on the team makeup, it’ll be a task.
In addition to getting the drive, going after uplinks to drop vehicles and dead players sooner rather than later will come in handy in many situations. Running around killing enemy players won’t do much but get the player’s kill scores up, so doing things that can help the team is always a good idea. At the same time that players are running to data drives or uplinks, enemy players will also be there, so being prepared is essential.
1 Communicate With The Team
Like a lot of other online shooters, Battlefield 2042 works better if everyone is communicating with one another. This method works especially well in Hazard Zone. Like in other modes, playing solo can be challenging with no to help players. In Hazard Mode, players can call out to one another when they’re down, or can call for cover while extracting a data drive, so it pays to have mics set up. When things go south, it’s smart to have the squad there so players can fall back to them.
Battlefield 2042 allows players to ping enemies and objectives, but adding a direct voice to it makes things easier. The squad knows exactly what’s going on plus, they have a teammate in their ear giving them real-time information. Additionally, if there are squad members that are down or killed off, in spectate view, they can give the alive teammates info on what’s happening in the match.
