Battlefield 2042 is bringing a new limited time game mode to players next week

Battlefield 2042 fans get ready as the Arkangel Directive event is almost here, running from July 12 for 2 weeks, this new event will provide the new game mode, Control, and a lot more.

Control is a new 24v24 game mode played across Reclaimed, Orbital and Valparaiso, where players will claim satellites around the map, collect telemetry data to upload to the Arkangel Satellite and earn points to call in mid-game bonuses to turn the tide of battle.

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.

Taking control is only half the battle, as you then must hold it. So 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.

As you can see in the graphic below, there are rewards for logging in, playing and more. The official website has more details that get into the specifics on many things.
