Since the reveal of the name “Hazard Zone,” DICE has been quick to point out that it isn’t a battle royale. Players drop into a map - in this case into any of 2042‘s base MP maps - squad up, gather intel and extract. Essentially, it’s a high-stakes extraction mode, much like Escape from Tarkov, Vigor, or Crytek’s Hunt: Showdown. Hazard Zone is the final chunk of the three piece puzzle developer DICE has put together for Battlefield 2042. However, two other modes have since been revealed to give Battlefield 2042 a bit more heft, the latest of which is Hazard Zone. At its initial reveal, its core “All Out Warfare” mode was showcased - 2042‘s answer to traditional Battlefield multiplayer.
From the off, Battlefield 2042 has been a pure multiplayer shooter.
