EA has rolled out a new update for Battlefield 2042 that finally lets players speed through the “Road to Battlefield 6” Battle Pass, but there’s a catch: you’ll have to pay for it. After weeks of complaints from the community about the slow progression, you can now buy tier skips, a move that has received a very mixed reaction from players.
Here’s the Lowdown
- What’s new? You can now pay to skip tiers in the free “Road to Battlefield 6” Battle Pass.
- Why? Players complained that leveling up the pass was way too slow and grindy.
- The Catch: This is a paid feature, which has upset players who already spent hours grinding.
- The Update: The feature arrived with game version 9.2.1 on all platforms.
The Grind Was Real
The “Road to Battlefield 6” pass is a freebie for all Battlefield 2042 owners, designed to build hype for the new game coming in October. It’s packed with 30 tiers of rewards for the upcoming Battlefield 6. The only problem? Progressing through it was painfully slow. EA tried to fix this by adding more Double and Triple XP weekends, but for many, it still wasn’t enough.
Pay to Skip Your Way to BF6
Now, with the latest update, EA’s solution is to let you open your wallet. The new tier skip functionality allows you to bypass the grind and unlock those sweet BF6 rewards instantly. It’s a classic EA move: solve a problem while also creating a new way to make some cash.
This has split the community right down the middle. On one side, you have the grinders who spent the last month playing non stop. They feel like this new feature is a “slap in the face” to their hard work. On the other side, some players are just happy the option is there, even if they think it should have been added “weeks ago.” Either way, if you’ve been struggling to finish the pass, you now have an express lane if you’re willing to pay the toll.
