GAME MODES

CONQUEST

Battlefield's iconic sandbox mode, where the opposing teams must capture and hold key objectives to win the match. In Battlefield 2042, the Conquest action now centers around sectors consisting of several flags instead of individual control points.

BREAKTHROUGH

Breakthrough sees two teams – Attackers and Defenders – battle over larger-scale sectors as the Attackers push towards the final objective. Each sector is designed to house a larger number of players, enabling more strategic choice and more flanking opportunities.

RUSH

Enter the match as attackers fighting to destroy as many M-COMs as possible or defenders, who need to hold the line and try to stomp the offensive – or be forced to retreat.

TEAM DEATHMATCH

Not only the ideal introductory experience for players to get to grips with the gameplay of Battlefield 2042, but also the staging ground for close quarter infantry battles where every kill and death counts for or against your team. Make it count, work as a squad and secure victory.
