Here’s a complete overview of every map and mode in Battlefield 2042. Because of how vulnerable they are, it's best to avoid combat entirely while using them.Battlefield 2042 took the popular FPS franchise to all-new territories and forced players into fresh objective-based game modes. These vehicles can be destroyed very quickly with most weapons, especially heavy ones, but they are very fast and can be used to rapidly transport troops around in a pinch. Battlefield 2042 vehicles: Civilian vehiclesįinally, Battlefield 2042 includes a small assortment of civilian vehicles, including a pickup truck, a rickshaw, and an ATV.

Like helicopters, jets can deploy flares to counter incoming missiles. They are decently armored, but will go down relatively quickly to a few missiles or sustained fire from an EBAA Wildcat anti-aircraft vehicle. Jets like the F-35 and the SU-57 are armed with deadly miniguns and missiles that can lock onto enemy vehicles, dealing heavy damage if they hit. Battlefield 2042 vehicles: Jetsīattlefield 2042's jets fill a variety of roles, including performing strafing runs against ground targets, destroying enemy helicopters, and keeping the skies clear of other jets.

Their armament is solid, however, featuring dual miniguns and rockets that are very effective against infantry and lightly-armored vehicles.Īll helicopters can deploy flares to counter incoming missiles that are locked onto the aircraft. They don't have heavy armament, but there are miniguns and grenade launchers that players can take control of to provide devastating cover fire for troops that are disembarking.įinally, scout helicopters like the MD540 Nightbird are the best when it comes to speed and agility, but they have poor armor and can't carry as many troops as a transport helicopter. These helicopters have heavy armor and can take a lot of damage, but also have the slowest top speed and the least amount of maneuverability. If you want to transport troops around the map, your best bet is to use a transport helicopter like the MI-240 Super Hind or the MV-38 Condor (this is technically a VTOL jet, but it flies like a helicopter). These helicopters have medium armor, speed, and maneuverability, making them a very well-balanced aircraft. The deadliest helicopters in the game are the AH640GX Apache Warchief Attack Helicopter and the KA-520 Super Hokum, both of which feature manually-aimed rockets and missiles that can lock onto vehicles.

Like tanks, it can deploy smoke to throw off the tracking on incoming explosives or hide its exact position. Notably, its minigun is also effective against infantry targets. It's well-armored, but is considerably less durable than a main battle tank. The EBAA Wildcat is a specialized anti-aircraft vehicle that's armed with a deadly anti-aircraft minigun and missiles that can lock onto aircraft. This weapon shreds infantry targets and is ideal for providing covering fire when deploying troops. However, its high speed helps it avoid damage, and there's also a minigun on the top of the vehicle that a second player can control. Its light armor is effective against most forms of small arms fire, but explosives and other heavy weapons can destroy it quickly. The E6-JGR Recon (and potentially the Hovercraft vehicle) fill the role of transporting soldiers around the map. To counter locked-on explosives and hide its position, the tanks can deploy smoke as a countermeasure. The tanks also come with two additional gunner positions and a spotter position for other players that enter the tank. The most dangerous and powerful ground vehicles are the M1A5 Tank and the T28 Tank, both of which come with heavy 120mm cannons as well as a coaxial machine gun for engaging foot soldiers.
