Switzerland is beautiful at this time of year. The weather is clear but not cold, the valleys are filled with lush greenery and powerful railgun blasts ripple across the hills. Well that’s the Swedish wilderness you can expect Battlefield 2042 – Season 03: Escalation as it lands on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S starting today, bringing with it a new specialist, map, weapons and multiple quality of life improvements, along with its availability with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate! Let’s dive into the details.
New specialist
For you attacking players, Zain seems to have everything you could wish for. Part of that is thanks to its XM370A airburst rifle, designed to clear enemies out of cover. He also has some of the fastest health recharge rates in the game and can restore his health instantly after defeating an enemy. All of these qualities make him a prime candidate to lead the charge on the battlefield.
New card
Inspired by the Swedish wilderness, Spearhead includes two semi-automated setups to engage in and around. Inside, expect to trade shots as you dive between high-tech weaponry and mechanical parts designed for weather machines. Outside, navigate rough terrain and between massive rock formations as you take the fight to the enemy.
New weapons and vehicles
Four new weapons drop in Season 03: Escalation…
- Rorsch MK-4 Railgun: The Railgun uses an electromagnetic force to fire projectiles at an absurd speed and features an underbarrel system with multiple firing modes. It’s easily one of the most powerful tools on the battlefield for those who can master its load time.

- NVK-P125 Bullpup Pistol: Its long barrel makes it ideal for engaging enemies at long range with great precision.

Oh, and there’s a new tank…
