Key Highlights of Turning Point
The central focus of Season 7 is the new map Haven, set in Chile’s Atacama Desert. This area becomes a battleground for control, involving Russian forces and the Thousand Petals Coalition. Haven is designed for a mix of infantry and vehicle combat, drawing inspiration from classic Battlefield maps such as Arica Harbor, Strike At Karkand, and Amiens.
The season introduces new hardware to the Battlefield, including the AK 5C assault rifle, the SCZ-3 submachine gun, and the DFR Strife light machine gun. Additionally, the Predator SRAW, a guided missile launcher, returns, alongside the XFAD-4 Draugr, a remote-controlled aerial bomber equipped with EMP bombs and radar-guided missiles.
Battle Pass and Free Access Period
Season 7 introduces a new Battle Pass, offering a mix of powerful weapons, a handy gadget, and premium cosmetic items. Year 1 Pass Holders will receive immediate access to previously missed content from Seasons 5 and 6. Battlefield 2042 will also feature a Free Access period from March 21 to March 24, allowing players to try out the new content and carry over their progress upon purchasing the game.
