How to Master the new Air Cavalry Mode in Battlefield™ 2042

Find out how to own the skies and astound from the ground.

Season 1: Zero Hour comes with many new ways to experience Battlefield 2042. Part of this: the new Air Cavalry game mode.

So, how does it work? Air Cavalry is a focused version of Conquest mode where only certain Specialists and vehicles are available, creating a clash between aircraft and anti-air units. The focus is on helicopter-deployed infantry, and the maps you’ll play on emphasize the importance of rapid redeployment. The new Specialist, Lis, excels in taking down aerial threats, but the new stealth helicopters will put her skills to the test.

If you’re playing as infantry, expect high intensity and opportunities for quick flanking attacks with a potent new threat against pesky heli pilots. If you’re one of those pilots, show off your skills as you try to dodge a flurry of player-guided AA missiles!

Here are some pointers which will help you master Air Cavalry and come out victorious.

• Dodging one missile isn’t impossible for enemy aircraft. Dodging four? Not likely. Work together with your squad and combine your strengths to take down your flying foes.
• Utilize the transport helicopters! These handy aircraft allow squads to reach the outskirts of battle. Make your way to these points and strike lightly-defended capture points.
• The new stealth helicopters are great at staying hidden, but they’re not invincible. To survive longer, stay low and go on sneaky bombing runs.
• Lis isn’t the only excellent Specialist choice for Air Cavalry. Rao has a Specialty called Trojan Network – a tool that hacks into enemy systems and retrieves vital intel. Killing hacked targets reveals enemies around them, which will make teammates’ AA missiles more effective.
