You can catch a glimpse of the changes in the season 3 update teaser below.
As always with new seasons, some classic Battlefield weapons are coming out of the vault in waves throughout season 3. First up is Bad Company 2’s XM8 and Battlefield 3’s A-91, with more weapons set to follow in batches as the season goes on.
EA Dice also said that production work on significant new updates for season 4 and beyond is already underway. Battlefield 2042 might have launched in a rough state, but the team said they plan on supporting it for a while yet to come.
