Execute the Directive, Take Control between July 11-25

______

This is the Arkangel Directive.

We invite you to join us on the Battlefield for a new special in-game event between July 11 from 12 PM UTC until July 25 @ 12 PM UTC.

During the event you'll play as the Arkangel Legion faction, a private military arm of the Arkangel Corporation. It’s a neutral enterprise at the service of all nations, invested in the betterment of humanity through the application of robotics and AI technologies.

With both superpowers licking their wounds after nearly a decade of war, the Arkangel Legion is in high demand – on both sides of the conflict.

With the financial backing of the wealthiest corporation in the world, the Arkangel Legion’s soldiers are the best of the best, with access to the most advanced technologies available.

Lethal doesn’t begin to describe them – part of every Arkangel Legion contract is the guarantee of victory.

Under the Ascension satellite network, the elite Arkangel Legion can break any deadlock. In Control, take and hold rotating objectives to upload tactical telemetry. Collect the most telemetry to command the region, and earn Ascension Points to purchase vehicles.

Execute the Directive. Take Control.

Control is played as 24v24 across Reclaimed, Orbital, Valparaiso and your goal is to collect telemetry data to upload to the Arkangel Satellite.

Claim satellites - Unsynced satellites around the map will align with the sensors your squad carries. Get in range of an active satellite to claim it for your side and begin the sync. Multiple control points (objectives) may become available at once, and hostiles can try and stake their own claim at any time.

Sync telemetry - Guarding your control points is key. Defend your occupied satellites until telemetry has finished uploading. When each round of uploads is complete, another free satellite will appear. The more telemetry you sync, the better your score.

Earn combat vehicles - Arkangel will reward high performers in combat with Ascension Points. Spend these points to call-in vehicle hot drops and change the tide of battle. The more you save, the more powerful vehicles you can request.

As the battle progresses, less and less objectives will be introduced leading you to clash with the opposing team in a final epic battle in the center of the map. It's all about control.

• Focus on taking and holding the objectives. Taking out enemies helps you get the upper hand, but it's not the key to victory.

• Call-in vehicles for your team. Vehicles are critical for victory, so use your Ascension points to get them on the battlefield as soon as possible.
  
  
• Learn where the objectives spawn. The objectives spawn in a fixed pattern and knowing where to go next will help you be one step ahead of your enemy.

• Coordinate and communicate with your squad. Make a joint attack and spawn in multiple combat vehicles at the same time to overwhelm your enemy.

New rewards are available to earn, claim and purchase while you battle it out as the Arkangel Legion.

Earn Ribbons by playing Control to unlock unique gameplay rewards available during the Arkangel Directive event, alongside new purchasable store bundles.

• “Ascendant Weapon” bundle (1400 BFC)
• “Ascendant Warrior” bundle (1750 BFC)
• “Arkangel Bundle” bundle, which includes all Arkangel Directive Store items (2400 BFC)

We’re excited to have you join us for the Arkangel Directive special in-game and to battle it out on our new limited-time mode Control. So from all of us here at our Battlefield studios, stay classy, and PTFO!
