Battlefield 2042: Liquidators Event Trailer Shows Off New Skins And Infantry Game Mode
The big highlight of the Liquidator event is the new game mode Tactical conquest
. It comes into play for a limited time and lets you fight pure infantry battles on small maps. The aim here is to hold the majority of 3 capture points and thus reduce the opponents’ tickets. It is played in two teams of eight or sixteen players.
Shortly after the start of the event, the developers temporarily switched it off. reason for it were Error unlocking rewards. In the meantime the problems have been solved and the event should be available again.
The event will also bring new cosmetic items such as soldier and weapon skins, some of which you can unlock by playing the new mode. But that probably only works as long as the event is running, so from October 11th to 25th. All further information about the liquidators can be found here:
