I'm confused about the skin categories. Two different types of categories are called out, rarities and tiers. Are they synonymous?

cosmetics are available in the following rarities:

Common (Grey)

Rare (Blue)

Epic (Purple)

Legendary (Gold)

vs.

An example of a Tier 1 Outfit – work in progress.

Tier 1 is the name of the set, not the rarity or tier. A note that this name is work in progress and may change at a later time, but for the most - if it's red and black, it's Tier 1.

Similar to how we have stated the names for some other sets on our preorder or edition beauty shots - "Tempest", "Cold Blood" and "Blistered Earth" bundles.

Sometimes less is more, and more is less. It's a fine balance, we know that there's a thirst for information and we're working as best we can to facilitate that while the team are hard at work on polishing the game up for launch and beyond.

When we have things to share, we will absolutely make it clear that we have things to share - patience is a rare commodity but it's one we all need a little more of with the state the world is in right now ❤️

Stay safe out there, and we'll see you on the Battlefield, next week!

There will definitely be more neutral outfits on offer, alongside the likes that we've shown today - got you covered there!

What color scheme would you have preferred instead? Perhaps there's an non-Mastery cosmetic like the one you're wanting :)

Happy with the progression and mastery. Basically exactly what I would have wanted. Hopefully there are some crazy ribbons/cards to earn.

Customization and player expression has always been key at differentiating you from another soldier, there will be a fair amount of outfits out there to help achieve that - definitely aware of player concerns around that but hopefully in folks seeing these Tier 1 Mastery shinies it'll help ease those concerns :)

We're always watching and reading!

This is merely the style for the "Tier 1" set, obtainable via working towards your mastery. There will be plenty of different outfits to obtain that aren't Red and Black, fear not! :)

Honestly I think the stuff looks great and I'm looking forward to trying it out. I didn't see any headshots in the trailer so I'm curious how those hitmarkers and sounds will be. Going for the headshots in the beta just to see that lol.

All I’ll say is that I think you’ll be in for a pleasant surprise.

Everything is subject to change during this moment in time. With UI in particular, so it’s very possible they may get an iteration but I don’t expect things in the HUD to change too drastically from beta to release. Perhaps afterwards if there’s some significant feedback.

Just wanna say that I am VERY pleased to see some love for the UI since we’ve shown this trailer. I’m going to take a moment to be bias here (forgive me) - but there are many folks in UI that make it functional, and look as intended by the artists within the engine who have done an amazing job. Many unsung heroes working extremely hard to polish up and improve the experience overall and I’m proud to see the quality ramp up over time.

See you guys on the battlefield very soon 🤘🏻

Yeah, I’m really concerned there will be no differentiation between teams. Can you fly an SU-57 on the US team?

No you cannot. SU-57 is for Russian forces, just to confirm.

Hey F8RGE can you tell us if this is the beta build in the trailer. The bf website and twitter says only 4 specialists are playable but all other specialists are seen in the beta trailer.

Sorry, not something I'm aware of. Been too busy with other things, so have left trailer creation to the experts. I would say that even now, as each day passes, the beta build becomes a little bit older.

Sorry, not the answer you're looking for, but figured it was better than nothing.

Wonder if that's why they changed it lol or he knew something.

Dozer is his nickname. Santiago 'Dozer' Espinoza.

At certain stages during the launch sequence the rocket is vulnerable and there are visual cues for when that happens, that's all i'll say for now ;)

Wondering if any UI feedback would be passed on. It would be nice to see the kill/damage/action XP log go back to the center again as it was in previous games or at least have an option to toggle it to center. The kill feed on the left and XP feed on the right obfuscate the action/kill feedback

Anything that a lot of people feedback on while be looked at ofc!

Super Hind on U.S. side also? Or just for cinematic purposes?

Watched the beta trailer frame bu frame and found these details. If I missed something feel free to let me know. This build of the game looks cool AF in my opinion.

The BETA trailer looks WAY better than the other ones.
