Heads up folks we wanted to give you a couple of heads up on a few things before the weekend.

First off, there'll be a change in this week's rotation.

FridayNightBattlefield's mode this week will now be Fast Conquest instead of the planned Rush Chaos XL. Rush Chaos will make its return in a future rotation.

We've had some of you raise confusion about when you can earn the rewards within FNB, you can now work towards the Weapon Charm, Playercard, and Tag by participating this weekend.

Thanks!

Keep that feedback coming!

Hey!

Keen to hear more about your experiences with this mode, we are always taking in such feedback and can make changes where we feel its necessary to do so.

Do want to encourage you to share your thoughts, even at this early stage (given the mode has been live for a small period of time)

Thanks!

Hey there,

The NAC was a community created faction for Battlefield 2142, and as a result isn't really canon whereas PAC actually is.

Now that's not to say it may never be, because Battlefield as a franchise has an history of bringing in our community, referencing them and adopting some of the creations our awesome community does at times. A direct callout could be the likes of Battlefield Friends, but as it stands in the lore of Battlefield 2042 > 2142 it is not currently canon in regards to 'NAC'.

Future Strike* continues to outline the global battle for scarce resources in Battlefield™ 2042. With the Mandate of Nations, this new time-limited event introduces a new alliance tied to the world of 2142. Under the global assault of the Thousand Petals Coalition, this faction symbolizes a beacon of hope for the shattered EU forces as Joint Task Force 7 homages the initial seven nations who make up the fledgling union. Most recently, this strike team was tasked with the capture and securing of Arkangel weather stations, ensuring it would not fall into Coalition hands.

This is one of the greatest sets of maps delivered to Battlefield. There were countless amount of hours I had spent solely on Ziba Tower. Followed up by the likes on Donya and 925, truly cannot fault Close Quarters.

Loved those pool parties!
