Making it multiplayer-only may feel like it’s taking away from the campaign aspect of it, but because there’s so much to do inBattlefield 2042,fans won’t miss it that much. TheBattlefieldseries has been known to reward players in experience points from doing anything and everything, so leveling up in the older games isn’t that hard.Battlefield 2042,doesn’t stray too far from that mechanic and it makes playing the game so much more rewarding for players. With these tips along withBattlefields 2042’sgenerous XP drop, players will level up in no time.
5Bigger Game Modes
Battlefieldhas always been about huge battles with chaos and being an immersive war experience, andBattlefield 2042follows the traditions well. In the last two iterations,Battlefield 1andBattlefield 5,grand operations were introduced and were good a good place to farm points. Grand operations were very big game modes, bigger than that of conquest, and had multiple game modes during one session.
This mode wouldn’treally workin the future setting ofBattlefield 2042so players can rely on the fan favorites conquest and breakthrough. Both of these modes are the biggest modes in the game and are a great place for players to level up quickly because players are shooting vehicles, playing the objective, and killing other enemies all in succession. The game rewards players for mostly everything in both conquest and breakthrough, so playing multiple sessions of either with have players leveling fast.
4Using Vehicles For Points
This can work, either way, taking down vehicles or using them, gives players a high amount of points.Battlefielddoesn’t just have strong weapons to take out infantry like theprevious games, it also had weapons to help players defend themselves against vehicles.Battlefield 2042follows this tradition, by giving players a good way to fight vehiclesearly onand with a higher chance to win. First-person shooters have moved away from themodern-daysetting and that adds more challenges to those settings, which can be harder.

However,inBattlefield 2042players have the help of modern and future technology that allows them to get vehicles and to kill with them with ease. Even if players aren’t driving or flying them the assist is worth more in-vehicle than they would it on foot. So in theBattlefieldgames, it’s always encouraged to snag a plane or a tank early on and use it as long as players can.
3Resupplying and Reviving
TheBattlefieldgames have always made the support class and the medic class very important because if the team or squad has on or both players get infinite health, revives, and ammo. In the older games, medics and support would be constrained to two classes and that would mean players would need to adapt to those playstyles. InBattlefield 2042those mechanics are still prevalent, but the difference is that any they can be added to any loadout.
The good thing about being a player using either the medic or ammo crate is that as long as players run over those crates the player who dropped them will get points. Meaning those are passive points players can earn while not being anywhere near them. They start to add up as well in certain situations it becomes imperative to have both, for example, a chokepoint. Chokepoints can force players to stay in one position for a long time and will need to be resupplied as long as they don’t die.
2Portal
Now, Portal is new to the wholeBattlefieldentity, but it has been used in other games before. It basically acts likeHalo’sforge where players can create custom game modes with things like weapons and vehicles from different eras like World War 2. It makesBattlefield 2042,a fan service game for old and new fans because a lot of things can be done in this area.

PlusDicehas included fan favorites from olderBattlefieldgames like the Caspian Sea inBattlefield 3or the Battle of the Bulge inBattlefield 1942it has everything for players to level up. Not only that but in the costume modes that are player-created, players have found servers to basicallyXP farmand kill bots to accumulate tons of points at once. AlthoughDicehas somewhat patched this up to have fewer XP farming servers, there’s still a lot of them, and the player will drop into them without even knowing it.
1Specialists
Battlefield’sspecialists act the same asCall of Duty’sworks, they each have theirown abilitiesand add a unique experience for gameplay during the firefights. While using the abilities don’t give players direct XP points, they indirectly help the player and their squad get those points much quicker than not using them. Certain specialists can drop turrets, the act of dropping doesn’t do anything, however, the turret shooting enemies and taking them down does.
It adds an element of gameplay for players to attempt to use them to get an advantage over their enemies. Like using a grapple hook players can point for using them to kill an enemy creatively and for indirectly for getting to a higher point and sniping. The other points on this list yield high points to players, but they can be accompanied by these specialists and their abilities to get more points and get easier.
Battlefield 2042is available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.
