Overview
- EA will deploy the patch at 9:00 UTC on Oct. 28, with Season 1 enabled at 15:00 UTC the same day.
- Season 1 introduces the Blackwell Fields map, a new jeep, several weapons across classes, and the first cosmetic skins.
- Movement and animations are refined for smoother landings, faster stance changes, improved vaulting, and more consistent hit registration.
- Visibility gets a pass with better lighting and exposure plus shorter‑lived smoke and fog, alongside UI, HUD, audio upgrades and fixes for vehicle spawns on maps such as Mirak Valley.
- Progression is overhauled as bots no longer advance assignments, XP is reduced on bot servers, and some mission requirements are cut significantly to discourage XP farming.
