It sees players fighting around and inside a beached container ship housing an illicit arms trading centre. New Specialist Charlie Crawford arrives with a mounted stationary minigun controllable by anyone on the battlefield. Other new weapons include the AM40 carbine, the Avancys LMG and the PF51 sidearm, while the latest new gadget is a concussion grenade. Players will be able to get around Stranded using the Polaris RZR off-road buggy and the EBLC-RAM heavy ground vehicle. The latter can protect itself from incoming damage with its AMPs ability and place a spawn beacon on the battlefield. New features being introduced in Season 2 include Assignments, which can be completed to unlock Vault Weapons. “Vault Weapons are weapons previously available only in Battlefield Portal that can now be accessed in All-Out Warfare once unlocked – starting with the iconic M60E4 and M16A3,” EA said. “More weapons will be available as the season progresses. “Assignments can also be used to unlock gameplay-related items from previous seasons that you might have missed the first time around, including Specialists, weapons, gadgets, and vehicles.” Earlier this week DICE offered a sneak peek at the next in a series of reworks for the game’s launch maps. Having released a reworked version of Kaleidoscope this month, updated versions of Renewal and Orbital will also be introduced as part of Season 2 in September and October respectively.
