Battlefield 2042 Update 8.6.1 is releasing on Tuesday, April 1st (no, we are not kidding!), which will enable the King of the Hill mode for Battlefield 2042, as part of the War Machine time-limited event!
Battlefield 2042 Update 8.6.1: The War Machine time limited event has been underway since March 18th and will continue to run through to April 15!
King of the Hill
King of the Hill is a new mode coming on April 1st as part of the War Machine time-limited event. Two teams rush to capture a single objective on the map while also trying to repel the enemy team!
Combined Arms
In King of the Hill, you’ll fight 20 versus 20 in an all-out battle for control over the objective! Both Infantry close quarter combat and Vehicle skills are going to be required to win over your enemy.
Vehicles will become unlocked as a team loses tickets, so don’t count your chickens just yet and keep your eyes open for a counterattack by enemy forces. King of the Hill features a single objective that moves to a new location after a set amount of time, opening avenues and opportunities to take back control or further dominate the opponent.
How to grab the crown and become King!
Vehicles can turn the tide quickly, so make sure you check the vehicle menu for newly unlocked vehicles and track progress when they unlock at the top of the deploy screen!
The losing team unlocks new vehicle categories before their enemy, so use this advantage to take back control over the objective.
Controlling chokepoints can be more impactful than throwing bodies at the objective.
Control, control, control
Using Spawn Beacons, Irish’s EIDOS system, and other gadgets can swing the match in your favor; use them wisely.
Know your objective and how it rotates
The rotation will pick from two to three different points, so learning which those can be and rotating quickly will give you an advantage over the enemy team.
