Once a team has all their drives, they head to the extraction point and fight to make it out alive. Of course, other teams are also fighting for those drives, so expect firefights as you and your teammates attempt to yank out each satellite’s precious cargo. Their goal is to locate and retrieve precious data drives from downed satellites that are scattered throughout the battlefield. Here’s how the new mode works: Players are inserted into a game of Hazard Zone as a four-member squad. (Last-gen consoles will support a maximum of 24 players in Hazard Zone.) And the goal is not to be the last player or team standing in fact, you can “win” a game of Hazard Zone before a match even finishes for most players.

It features a smaller player count than Battlefield 2042’s core multiplayer mode, with just 32 players spread across eight teams on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X. Hazard Zone, DICE has repeatedly stressed since Battlefield 2042’s original announcement, is not a battle royale. The new mode is called Hazard Zone, and the objective here, developer DICE revealed on Thursday, is not to kill your enemies it’s to grab data drives from downed satellites and exit the battlefield before someone else - or something else, like a tornado - kills you. Battlefield 2042’s third major gameplay mode, following the traditional All-Out Warfare and era-blending Battlefield Portal modes, will send players into tense, team-based missions against other teams, and hopefully they’ll make it out alive.
