Will all 2042 specialists be available with the base game?

Been searching for the definitive answer to whether all the Battlefield 2042 specialists will be available with the base game. On Origin there is only a "checkmark" for 4 new specialists if you buy Gold or Ultimate with the Year 1 Pass. Answers on Reddit are all over the place.  I'm not interested in the skins just availability to the entire set of specialists. To get access to all the specialists do you have to buy Gold or Ultimate?

    Hi @TALONII Everyone will be able to unlock all the specialists, the battlepass just let's you get them quicker.

    Do you have a reference that the battlepass gives you early access to the specialists?

    @kregora It states it in the description for Gold and Ultimate editions. However, not sure if means there will be an additional Specialist released per Battlepass besides the ones they already announced or if it pertains to one of the Specialists they already announced.

    Ultimate:
    Year 1 Pass: 4 new specialists (1 per season), 4 battle passes (1 per season) and 3 epic skin bundles.

    Gold:
    Year 1 Pass: 4 new specialists (1 per season), 4 battle passes (1 per season)

    the part about "getting them early" is new...  The reference to "4 new specialists" in the Gold and Ultimate but not standard is confusing if the reports about everyone getting the entire game with the base version are true.

    It would be great if an official EA rep would provide a clear answer about this

    @ElliotLH I'm not saying you are wrong with your assumption 😉
    Rainbow 6: Siege did unlock their seasonal Operators early for the season pass owners, while everyone else needed to unlock them first, so maybe that's the same idea here.
  • So the only "real" difference between the base, gold and ultimate versions of Battlefield 2042 is access to skins and 1 week of early access to the game for gold and ultimate?  And maybe the timing of availability of the specialists?

    Other than skins then what else does the "Year 1 Pass" provide?

    @TALONIIIt's all cosmetics with new weapons and gameplay changing stuff like Specialists being FREE for everyone.

    It's more or less exactly the same as how Call Of Duty does it.
