'At certain Mastery milestones such as performing 40 kills with a weapon, you'll also gain cosmetics for that hardware such as a new skin, and a new tier of Mastery Badge you acquire to decorate your Player Card and boast about your achievements,' DICE said. In addition to unlocking new weapons, gadgets, and vehicles, players have another progression path called 'Mastery.' This unlocks new items for specific pieces of hardware, like a special scope, or a new type of equipment for a vehicle.

After that, players can choose where they want to invest their XP in terms of unlocking new Specialist characters, vehicles, weapons, gadgets, and cosmetics as they progress. Upon playing Battlefield 2042 for the first time, players will get access to a number of different Specialist characters, along with weapons, vehicles, and gadgets, to let them sample the offerings. Players don't get any additional rewards by ranking up through S-levels, but these S-levels will be displayed in the game for other people to see. After that, players will reach S-levels, beginning at S001 and running through S999. The level cap in Battlefield 2042 at launch is 99.

Ribbons are back, too, and they are another way to earn XP in Battlefield 2042. Players will also get XP for getting kills, assists, and offering support to teammates. Players progress by earning XP, and similar to past games, DICE will reward players with more XP if they play the objective and work as a team for the duration of a match. DICE is making some changes to the progression system with the new game, and the studio outlined all the key details in a blog post. The Battlefield 2042 open beta is coming up very soon, and it'll give players a first taste at, among other things, how progression works in the sci-fi shooter.
