Battlefield 1’s Apocalypse Expansion Arriving Next Month With New Maps, Weapons, And More
Battlefield 1 has been chugging along since launch, with new content continually being pumped out by DICE to keep players coming back for more. After all, a video game set during the Great War should pull no punches when delivering its payload of features. With the recent announcement of the Apocalypse expansion, it looks like the team is bringing even more to the shooter.
The Apocalypse expansion, which is set to arrive at some point next month, will include a bounty of new maps, vehicles, weapons, and more. “With no end in sight, enter a living hell and participate in the most brutal battles of the cataclysmic Great War,” says the game’s website. New modes are also featured in the upcoming update, with players taking to the skies and engaging “in a fury of dogfights.” Needless to say, all sorts of glory is to be had next month. Here’s everything that will be included with the Apocalypse expansion:
- New Maps
- Passchendaele
- Once the quiet countryside of Belgium, now a nightmarish landscape of blood and mud. Claw your way across the devastated landscape and huddle for cover in dugouts and tattered ruins.
- Caporetto
- Fight in mountain trenches near the Isonzo River as the Austro-Hungarians face off with the Italian army in an uphill climb.
- River Somme
- The scenic wheat fields by the Somme river transform into hell on earth from devastating artillery barrages.
- Razor’s Edge
- Engage in frantic dogfights among snowy peaks, as British and German aces fight for control on this intense map.
- London Calling
- With your fellow knights of the sky, join the aerial clashes high above the British capital in the new Air Assault game mode.
- Passchendaele
- New Melee Weapons
- Desperate times call for desperate measures. Use melee weapons like a brutal meat cleaver or a handy prybar when the action gets close and personal.
- 6 New Guns
- Wield firearms like the RSC SMG, and five other unique weapons.
- New Gadgets
- New Aircraft
- Pilot two bombers on the Caporetto map: the Hansa Brandenburg GI and the Airco DH10.
- New Air Assault Game Mode
- A rush for ace aviators and sharp-shooting gunners. Air Assault takes to the skies, where planes collide in a fury of dogfights that could include a climactic face-off with Airships.
- New Stationary Weapon
- Based on the tactics used during the Battle of Caporetto, smother your enemy in a cloud of poisonous gas with the all-new Livens Projector.
- New Assignments
- Put your skills to the test in a set of challenges. Unlock new weapons with Weapon Assignments, and complete Service Assignments to be rewarded with Specializations.
- New Specialization Type: Afflictions
- For pro players keen to show their skill in any situation, Afflictions will hamper your soldier in various ways. Activate “Mortality” to lose 200 score for each respawn, or challenge yourself with “Paranoia” and play with the Gas Mask on constantly.
- New Unlocks
- Give it your all on the battlefield and add new Dog Tags, Service Stars, Codex Entries, Medals, and Ribbons to your collection.
