DICE looked to get Battlefield 2042 back on track with the Season 1 update, and player actually love the new Exposure map.

Although Battlefield 2042 didn’t live up to the community’s expectations, players are absolutely loving Season 1’s new Exposure map.

Over six months after launch, Battlefield 2042 Season 1 finally arrived on June 9. Bringing a Battle Pass, another Specialist, and a new map, some were disappointed with the lack of content.

Even though they don’t feel the game’s main issues have been fixed, players are loving the new Exposure map, calling it not just the best map in Battlefield 2042, but one of DICE’s best in years.

Exposure takes place in the Canadian Rockies, with the action taking place across three levels of elevation. The Battlefield 2042 subreddit has been extremely critical of the game but is actually full of love for Exposure, with a ton of players singing its praises.

Although huge 128-player battles were a major part of Battlefield 2042’s marketing, many players felt it was far too chaotic, especially when 64 players were trying to run across an open field.

Reddit user Sardunos said that “Exposure is absolutely the correct sized map for 128 players,” explaining that “it has the pacing of the 64 player maps” but with a ton of variation.

“The new map is honestly one of the best maps DICE has put out in years,” claimed Tech_Rise, with Odisseo76 calling it one of the best maps they’ve ever played in a shooter, not just in Battlefield.

MrLuBert continued the sentiment, explaining: “It’s not just better than the other maps, it’s a very, very good map. Worthy of being in any BF title.”

These are only a few of the hundreds of comments where players showed their love for DICE’s latest creation. However, with so many players returning for Season 1, they feel Exposure “really exposes how sh*tty the maps on release were.”

Battlefield 2042 Season 2 isn’t expected until September, but Warzone Season 4 and perhaps Modern Warfare 2’s beta will release in the meantime.

The ‘unable to load persistence data’ error is causing problems in Battlefield 2042, and here’s how you can fix it.

Battlefield 2042 players are being plagued by the ‘unable to load persistence data’ error, so here’s everything you need to know about it, including how to fix it.

The first season of Battlefield 2042 is finally here, bringing brand-new Specialists, a Battle Pass with 100 tiers of rewards, and plenty of other fun content for players to try out after logging into the game.

However, players are encountering the ‘unable to load persistence data’ error that keeps kicking them out of games and returning them to the menu. We’ll go over how you can get around this problem.

Battlefield 2042 players that were eager to try out the new season soon found themselves locked out of the game because of the appearance of this error message, and this caught the attention of the developers.

EA’s Battlefield Direct Communication Twitter page responded to this issue and reassured players that they’re investigating this error. We’ll have to wait for them to implement a fix, but until they do, there are a few different workarounds that you can try.

The first solution that you can try to fix the “unable to load persistence data” bug in Battlefield 2042 is to restart the game. Simply close the Battlefield 2042 application and then wait for it to completely turn off.

Once that’s done, you can turn the game back on and see if that fixed the issue. If that doesn’t work, then you can also try restarting your PC or console.

Another way for you to get around this problem is to check your internet modem. If your connection isn’t working properly, then you may have to reset the modem in order to get rid of this error message.

Try turning your internet connection off and then back on to see if the problem has been resolved. You can also try connecting to a different router before logging into the game.

When players encountered the “unable to load persistence data” error back in 2021, one solution that worked was to disable crossplay in the in-game settings.

Here’s how to disable Battlefield 2042 crossplay on PC and PlayStation:

Here’s how you can get this done on Xbox consoles:

That covers all the different workarounds that you can use to fix the “unable to load persistence data” error in Battlefield 2042. Hopefully, one of these solutions works for you. If not, we’ll just have to wait for the developers to implement a fix.

Here’s every Specialist in Battlefield 2042, including their gadgets, Traits, and Season 1’s newest arrival.

Battlefield 2042 has changed up the traditional four-class system to have you play as Specialists, international soldiers with different gadgets and abilities. Here’s every Specialist in Battlefield 2042.

Battlefield 2042 has swapped out the traditional class system to include Specialists who belong to one of four classes – Recon, Assault, Support, and Engineer.

While you can use any weapon with any Specialist, they each have different gadgets and abilities to make them specialize in certain situations.

Battlefield 2042 launched with 10 Specialists to choose from, with more being added in each season’s Battle Pass. Battlefield 2042 Season 1 is almost here, so we’re breaking down every Specialist and their abilities.

Ewelina Lis is the first Specialist Battlefield 2042 has received since launch, arriving as part of the Season 1 Battle Pass.

A Polish anti-vehicle expert, Lis has the Armor Hunter Trait which allows her to automatically spot vehicles. She also has the G-84 TGM player-guided missile launcher, which allows her to control the rocket as it flies.

As part of the Engineer class, Pytor “Boris” Guskovsky will be the heavy weapons expert of your squad, especially proficient at defending objectives.

Boris can deploy the SG-36 Sentry Gun as his Specialty, which auto-engages enemies and vehicles.

He has the Sentry Operator ability for his Trait, which boosts the Sentry’s efficiency when he stands near and “spots the enemy target when the Sentry Gun locks on to the enemy in question.” Be warned, though, the Sentry Gun can be EMP’d.

Kimble “Irish” Graves is the latest Battlefield 2042 Specialist to be revealed after featuring heavily in the Exodus short film. Irish was one of the main characters of Battlefield 4’s storyline and is now looking for revenge in 2042.

As another Engineer, Irish can use the Fortification System to place the “DCS Deployable Cover to protect from bullets and explosives, and the APS-36 Shootdown Sentinel to take down explosive projectiles.”

For his trait, Irish has Veteran. This allows him to provide armor “with additional bonuses from downed enemies.”

Navin Roa will be the perfect Specialist to sneak up on enemies and cause havoc in their objectives.

His Trojan Network Trait allows him to hack an enemy, killing them to reveal all nearby enemies. And he can use his Cyber Warfare Suit to take control of enemy equipment and electronics in the world, such as raising bollards from a distance to cut off enemy vehicles.

Although a Recon Specialist, South Korean Specialist Ji-Soon Paik is especially effective for aggressive players.

Her Threat Perception Trait marks any enemy that damages her, so anyone playing as her will have full awareness amid battle.

And her EMG-X Scanner essentially acts as wallhacks, where nearby enemies are highlighted through walls. Depending on how much range this has, it could be an extremely powerful tool in the hands of a skilled player.

A Recon Specialist, Wikus “Casper” Van Daele, is a South African soldier best suited for players who like to take on the Scout role in their squad.

This Recon Specialist can use their Trait to detect nearby enemies with a Movement Sensor, where the screen flashes if an enemy gets too close. And for his Specialty, he deploys the OV-P Recon Drone.

The Drone will reveal enemy positions, disrupt electronics, and can be controlled manually or left on auto-pilot. It can also be used to “designate targets for lock-on weapons.”

Santiago “Dozer” Espinoza will be the Specialist you want to lead an aggressive push, using his Ballistic Shield and explosive resistance to survive a ton of damage.

Dozer’s Blast Resistant Trait acts very similarly to E.O.D from Warzone, where he can survive much more explosive damage than the average soldier. And it doesn’t seem to affect him, so he can stay accurate at all times.

And the SOB-8 Ballistic Shield makes him the perfect point man, where he can sponge all incoming damage and be an excellent distraction for his squadmates. Also, it appears that he can still damage and kill enemies while using the Shield.

French Specialist Emma “Sundance” Rosier is the most mobile character in the game, being able to glide around the map.

Their Trait, the Wingsuit, allows Sundance to stealthily fly across the map. And they’ll have much more lethal equipment at their disposal, as the Smart Explosives Speciality lets them switch between using Anti-Armor, EMP, and Scatter Grenades.

Webster Mackay is a Canadian Assault Specialist, perfect for flanking enemies and getting in their faces. His Specialty uses a Grappling Hook to quickly navigate the massive maps. Hitting a surface will pull you towards the attach point, allowing for some nifty flanking maneuvers.

Mackay also features the Nimble Trait, which allows him to be a hard target by moving faster while aiming down the sight.

Romanian Specialist Constantin “Angel” Anghel is the frontline medic of your squad, as he acts more like the Medics from previous Battlefield games.

Players complained that reviving was too slow in the Beta, but his Trauma Specialist Trait allows him to revive players much faster and also restore their armor.

And in more of the Support than Medic vein, Angel can drop a Loadout Crate that allows players to select another loadout without having to redeploy.

Maria Falck is a German Specialist who takes on the medic role of your squad, quickly healing teammates and reviving them to full health.

She uses the S21 Syrette Pistol to heal herself and teammates from afar, and her Trait is the Combat Surgeon, which allows her to revive allies to full health. Also, if in a pinch, the Syrette Pistol will damage enemies.

Here is every new weapon, vehicle, and specialist across all 100 tiers of the Battlefield 2042 Season 1 Battle pass.

Battlefield 2042 Season 1 features a brand-new Battle Pass with 100 tiers of rewards, and here’s every weapon, vehicle, and Specialist that’s included in it.

Seven months after Battlefield 2042 was first released, DICE are planning to launch the first season of the game, bringing a plethora of brand-new content for players to explore, including a new Battle Pass.

It features 100 tiers of rewards for you to unlock, such as new vehicles, Specialists, and weapons. We’ll go over everything that’s included in the new Battlefield 2042 Season 1 Battle Pass.

Battlefield 2042’s Season 1 Battle Pass has a free version that features various rewards for you to unlock without having to spend any money. You’ll be able to get your hands on fun new items in this version of the Battle Pass.

However, many of the best rewards are only available in the premium version of the Battle Pass which costs 1,000 BFC (Battlefield Currency) or $10 USD. 

The Battlefield 2042 Battle Pass features a new system known as Battle Pass Points that you’ll need in order to progress through the Battle Pass tiers, and these can be earned by completing weekly missions.

If you complete these challenges, you’ll be able to get enough Battle Pass Points to unlock a new tier. You can also obtain a small number of these points by simply playing the game.

While the Battlefield 2042 Season 1 Battle Pass isn’t yet live, the new trailer has given us a first look at the new weapons, vehicles, and skins that are available at different tiers.

Here are all the Battle Pass rewards and tiers:

We’ll update this guide with everything included in all tiers of the Battle Pass when it finally arrives on June 9, so be sure to check back with us!
