Battlefield 2042 Season 2 is about to get underway. The multiplayer <a href=«https://www.pcgamesn.com/15-best-pc-first-person-shooters?utm_term=&utm_campaign=Free+PC+games&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=4473736622&hsa_cam=654051106&hsa_grp=100720707264&hsa_ad=416558504085&hsa_src=» https:>FPS game’s

second season, like the first, will add a new map, a new specialist character, and some new weapons and vehicles to unlock on the new seasonal battle pass. Here’s what to expect when Season 2: Master of Arms kicks off August 30. 

First up, there’s the new map, Stranded. It’s set around a beached cargo vessel sitting in the bed of a drained Panamanian lake. There’s a helipad on one side of the ship, and plenty of strewn cargo containers and improvised shelters scattered around to provide cover for mid-range firefights.

The ship itself has been converted into a rendezvous point and showroom for a group of black market arms dealers, and that’s where new specialist Charlie Crawford fits in. A former MI6 agent, Crawford has played both sides of the fence in just about every situation he’s found himself in, usually looking for some personal angle to work. He’s a support specialist, and can call in a mounted Vulcan minigun with a ballistic shield, and his trait replenishes allies gadget ammo when he revives them.

Season 2 introduces some new weapons as well. There’s the AM40 assault rifle, a carbine pattern weapon that straddles the line between an AR and SMG. Then there’s the AVANCYS LMG, a machine gun designed for maximum mobility and attachment compatibility. Round this out with the PF51 sidearm, a boxy-looking pistol that sports an extra-large magazine.
