Between now andBF6’s release on October 10, more rewards can be earned – but you’ll have to boot upBattlefield 2042.

Battlefield 6’s predecessor is frequently derided, but is surprisingly still receiving content on the eve of the series' next entry. In an attempt to keep players engaged with the franchise for the next couple of months,Battlefield 2042is hosting a brand-new event with a slate of content additions. Those willing to jump back into2042will be able to unlock even more rewards forBattlefield 6, which will be available upon launch.

From August 18 to October 7,Battlefield 2042is playing host to the Road toBattlefield 6event. Of special note is a new map the event is bringing to2042:a new version of Iwo Jima. The famed, bloody battle from World War 2 was first adapted by the series' first entry,Battlefield 1942, and has since appeared in three other games,Battlefield Vietnam,Battlefield 1943, andBattlefield 5.

The update for the Road toBattlefield 6event also brings two new weapons toBF2042. First is the KFS2000, a bullpup assault rifle. The second is the Lynx, an anti-material sniper rifle available immediately toBF6beta participants, but unlockable for all players.
