Battlefield 2042's 'Zombie Survival' mode pulled after it immediately turns into an XP farm

pcgamer.com:

Just a day after featuring a Zombie Survival mode in Battlefield 2042, the developers removed it from the official playlist because players were using it to farm XP that can be used to unlock weapons, ribbons, and other in-game content in other modes.

Zombie Survival was launched in Portal, where both Battlefield 2042 players and devs can design and host custom game types ranging from serious to silly. XP farming in Portal isn't new. We wrote about XP farming in November 2021, after the Gold and Ultimate editions of the game went live: Small teams of human players on XP farming servers would square off against large hordes of bots with minimal health and no weapons, mowing them down en masse for quick and easy character advancement.

The Zombie Survival mode sounds like essentially the same thing: A squad of four players has to hold out against 60 zombies for an hour, the catch being that the zombies are actually infinite: There are only 60 at a time, but it's impossible to kill them all. As GameSpot described it, the zombies in the mode look like standard AI-controlled soldiers, but they can't sprint and can only attack with knives.
