Prepare to unleash fury in an all-new Battlefield event coming next week!
Circle of Hell is a brand new four weeks long time-limited event coming to Battlefield 2042 on October 29, 2024. With it, Hardcore mode, a fan favorite of our Battlefield community, will be available for Conquest, Rush, and Breakthrough. Additionally, players can earn free and premium rewards from the spooky Circle of Hell Event Pass, including the M1 Garand which will be making its way from Battlefield Portal to All-Out Warfare.
Adapt, overcome, and grab victory by any means necessary
Hardcore during the Circle of Hell event is more lethal, immersive, and will test your skills like never before in Battlefield 2042. Loadouts in Hardcore lock your primary weapon based on your Class selection, and your HUD will be providing limited information, be prepared.
While you will be dealing more damage to your enemies, soldiers will have less HP, requiring you to choose your engagements wisely. That also applies to vehicles, as they are tankier with increased HP but also take more weak point damage.
Neither soldiers nor vehicles will automatically regenerate health in Hardcore, making squad play and teamwork even more important.
Lastly, traversal sprint is disabled, and downed characters will have to crawl to safety.
Circle of Hell will include Hardcore on Conquest, Rush, and Breakthrough on:
And with updated visuals as part of the event on:
From Portal to 2042, the M1 Garand is back with a bang
During the event players will be able to unlock the M1 Garand, which has received significant changes to fit the world of Battlefield 2042:
- The Damage model and the number of magazines have increased.
- Recoil has been increased.
- Accuracy and recoil are impacted by moving and a player’s stance. The M1 will be most accurate when using it while being crouched and least accurate when firing on the move.
- Available in the DMR category, the M1 Garand comes equipped with 3 scopes: The Nydar for medium range, and the 2x and 6x scopes for players that prefer longer range engagements.
- While the M1 will excel at close-to-medium ranges due to its high damage and rate of fire, it will be effective at most ranges.
Fear not if you miss unlocking the M1 Garand through the duration of this event, as it will be available as an unlock assignment once the event has ended!
