Re: Swords and bows

@Lisa_Ateria_Lost The game is out of support and won't have any meaningful additions at this point. Your best hope is that something similar will be in the next edition of the game [rumored for 2025]. I can't see them adding a sword, to be honest, at best maybe you will have a machete and or a baton to differentiate from a standard knife (although I'd want a bipod for either of those!)

A bow, you're correct, in that the Phantom bow was unlockable in BF4 via a decent-length quest line. (and then eventually via a much shorter method). I wouldn't be opposed to it, but it seems redundant vs 2042 when it's largely already there with the crossbow.

  • Are you serious? is the game really out of support already? like.... there's an event in-game right now... there's new stuffs being added to the shop, it even says battle pass missions will be back soon, is the game really out of support?? (also, wasn't there both the crossbow and bow in 4? or was the cross be in 3 and the bow in 4? either way I still feel it'd be nice to have both as options, its no more redundant then having 2 assault rifles)

    The game has been out for going on 3 years, and was really only getting regular updates for maybe 2 or so (until seasons kept getting stretched/elongated). 

    The in-game events are re-treads of old events and cosmetics iirc. Basically there won't be new content, if battle pass missions come back it will just be re-running old ones. it's not like there will be new seasons.

    Apples and Oranges.

    No Battlefield game received more than 3 years of updates, so expecting it from a game that has actually had more "updates" than most of the series in 2042 is pretty unrealistic. 

    Off-topic, SOT doesn't personally do anything for me, I don't find the moment to moment gameplay or combat fun or engaging.. 

  • Yes, that was so cool. They should implement things like that in future battlefield games.
