The developers at DICE are hoping to get back to normal with the troublesome multiplayer shooter Battlefield 2042 Season 2 now that they have drastically reduced the game’s scope and ambition. Season 2 of the game, aptly titled Master of Arms, shifts the spotlight away from system-wide changes in favor of a traditional content refresh.
The next map Stranded for Master of Arms will be released on August 30, approximately three months after the first season began. The map will transport players to Panama, where they will engage in combat beside a dried lake and a shipwrecked in the muck.
Play your cards right and be a Master of Arms on August 30th!
Fight on a drained Panamanian lake on the new map Stranded and reap the benefits of the Dark Market.

Ex-arms dealer turned specialist Charlie Crawford has also entered the competition. Charlie is a very unremarkable protagonist in a military shooter, but he’s got a big gun and he talks like low-budget action hero Scott Adkins, so it helps a lot.
Master of Arms will offer a slew of new features to Battlefield 2042, including new weapons and vehicles as well as a method for players to access the Season 1 content they may have missed.
DICE describes Assignments as “a means to unlock weaponry in All-Out Warfare that was previously only available within Battlefield Portal,” beginning with the “iconic M60E4” and the “M16A3,” with more weapons to be added in future versions. In case they were unable to do it the first time around, players can use Assignments to gain access to all of the Season 1 vehicles, weapons, and Specialists.

Everything considered it looks like a serviceable if unremarkable, holiday upgrade for a multiplayer shooter. That might not be enough to entice casual or inactive players back into Battlefield 2042, but it might be just what the series’ die-hard fans need: a return to business as usual.
