Weekend boosts for accelerating the acquisition of Battlefield 6 items have kicked off, as Battlefield 2042 continues to provide double XP until the release of the new game.

In an exciting development for fans of the Battlefield series, EA DICE, a Swedish game developer subsidiary of Electronic Arts (EA), has announced the release of a new map for Battlefield 2042 - a futuristic version of the iconic Iwo Jima.

The new Iwo Jima map is distinct, offering a unique gaming experience, although it may not be the prettiest version of the island. What sets it apart is the active volcano, which covers the island with ash and molten runoff, adding an exciting and dynamic element to the battlefield.

Accompanying this new map is a free battle pass, available to all players. This battle pass is a treat for longtime fans of the Battlefield series, as it includes items that reference well-known community members and past Battlefields, dating back to Bad Company 2. However, it's important to note that the free battle pass does not include items from Battlefield 2, 2142, and 1943.

The free battle pass is focused on items for Battlefield 6, offering player cards, icons, and skins that hint at the upcoming game's themes. But be warned, the free battle pass is a bit of a grind.

To make the journey more rewarding, every weekend until the launch of Battlefield 6, there will be double XP events. The last two weekends of the event will feature triple XP gains, providing a significant boost for those aiming to unlock all the exclusive cosmetics.

Morgan Park, a staff writer at PC Gamer, covering the latest and greatest shooters and the communities that play them, has shared his thoughts on the new map and the free battle pass. He notes that playing as a Medic in Breakthrough in Battlefield 2042 can lead to high XP gains, making it an attractive choice for players looking to level up quickly.

This "Road to Battlefield" event with a free battle pass offering new guns and 24 exclusive cosmetics for Battlefield 6 is a great way for players to get a taste of what's to come in the next instalment of the series. So, gear up and get ready to conquer the new Iwo Jima map!
