As always with new seasons, some classic Battlefield weapons are coming out of the vault in waves throughout season 3. First up is Bad Company 2’s XM8 and Battlefield 3’s A-91, with more weapons set to follow in batches as the season goes on.

EA Dice also said that production work on significant new updates for season 4 and beyond is already underway. Battlefield 2042 might have launched in a rough state, but the team said they plan on supporting it for a while yet to come.
