Battlefield V’s Battle Royal mode is finally getting ready for release and in just a few days on March 25th the free update will arrive. The launch trailer for the new mode has give us a lot more information on what Firestorm will feature.
The gameplay trailer below breakdowns the new mode pretty well and details what Firestorm has to offer. The usual drop in and shrinking circle (massive ring of fire) is on par with nearly all Battle Royal games, but the Battlefield flair is definitely alive and well within the mode.
The mode features 17 vehicles with Land, Sea, and Air all being options. We have complete destruction of buildings available, which alone will add great level of dynamics. Loot is scattered throughout the map, which is called Halvøy and is 10 times larger than Hamana in full BFV game.
Loot and vehicles are also locked away in safes that require sometime to unlock and add a level of risk for the chance of significantly better weapons or transport, which extends to objectives that give you another chance to gaining better loot. Securing re-supply points will provide you with better loot or vehicles and can be contested, just like in a regular Battlefield modes. The game also includes a last stand moment when your downed by an enemy and gives s a chance to fire back to defend yourself.
