Battlefield 2042 Gets Its Last Specialist After Return To Class-Based System

EA has just announced season four of Battlefield 2042 is on the way. Called "Eleventh Hour," the upcoming season will bring a new map, a new armored vehicle, some new guns, and the last specialist to the Game after Battlefield 2042 returned to a class-based system last month.

Battlefield 2042 was a departure from the series as it went from class-based Game to character-based, with specific specialists all coming armored with unique equipment and abilities. That changed with update 3.2 when all those specialists were assigned to Battlefield's traditional four classes: Assault, Engineer, Recon, and Support. Each class has its own set of equipment and weapon proficiencies to choose from but retains its specific specialist abilities.

The new specialist for Season 4: Eleventh Hour will be Camila Blasco, a Recon-class soldier of Spanish descent that comes with the X6-Infiltration Device. When planted on the ground, the X6 jams active spotting tech and prevents lock-ons from enemy equipment. It also reveals nearby opposing Technology for quick and easy disposal. Blasco is also an Ambush Expert, making her impossible to spot with motion-based gadgets.

As with all Recon-class specialists, Blasco has the Constant Stead Scope ability to be better with sniper rifles, and the Insertion Beacon, which allows friendlies to spawn wherever the beacon is placed.

Besides the new specialist, Eleventh Hour also brings a new map: Flashpoint. Set in the deserts of South Africa, this underground research facility promises close-up and personal fights inside this interconnected complex, while above-ground fights will be more medium to long-range engagements

New guns include the AC9 submachine gun, RM68 assault rifle (with a built-in suppressor), the RPT-31 LMG, and the Super 500 secondary shotgun. The CAV-Brawler comes armed with a minigun and an autocannon as well as plenty of hatches for friendlies to fire from. There's also going to be a fresh battlepass with 100 tiers of premium and free content.

Season 4: Eleventh Hour begins on February 28.

The Last Of Us Show Confirms How The Virus Spread

HBO's The Last Of Us is well and truly off and running now, its second episode airing on Sunday night. That episode confirmed a fan theory regarding how exactly the cordyceps fungus was able to spread so quickly. Be warned if you haven't seen the first two episodes of the show, the rest of this article is teeming with pretty significant spoilers. Just hours after the show premiered nine days ago, fan theories started to swirl pointing to contaminated flour being the root of what quickly becomes an effectively world-ending pandemic. That theory was confirmed to be accurate during the opening few minutes of episode two. Another flashback, this time in Indonesia, during which a mycologist examines a flour factory worker infected by cordyceps.

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is currently being previewed. While we’ve seen all kinds of big, splashy cards, the one that’s given players the fear is, of all things, a tiny little Goblin Warrior. With just three cards and two lands, Cacophony Scamp can wipe an opponent out as early as turn two. Even more scarily, this combo works in both Modern and Pioneer, where it could give birth to a new take on the deck known as Hammer Time. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering – Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews As noted on Reddit, Cacophony Scamp is an unassuming 1/1 Goblin Warrior costing just one red mana. It doesn’t have haste, but it does have two big upsides: it can sacrifice itself once it’s dealt combat damage, and when it dies, it deals damage equal to its power to any other target.

Mortal Kombat 11 Fans Discover Hidden Voice Line Four Years After Launch

Mortal Kombat 11 will be four years old in April, and fans are still making new discoveries. The latest is one that was teased by NetherRealm Studios senior designer Aaron Davis back in 2020, three years ago, and as it turns out, he was hinting at a hidden voice line. "For people who like hidden stuff in MK Game s, there's something in MK11 I put in that hasn't been found yet from what I can tell," Davis tweeted (as reported by Euro Game r). "Only hint I'll give is it's done inside a match and it's been there since day 1, so not DLC related." RELATED: Marvel’s Midnight Suns' Abbey Is The Perfect Mix Of Hades And Mortal Kombat YouTuber Waz, on February 19, revealed that, after four years, the mystery had finally been cracked, and it's an old-school style easter egg.
