14 DAY TRIAL // Battlefield 4 developer DICE has confirmed that it's naming February Player Appreciation month and will organize a variety of great events and offers for owners of the first-person shooter across all platforms.
Battlefield 4 was launched back in November and, unfortunately for quite a lot of owners, lots of bugs, issues, and errors have been affecting the whole experience.
Despite a wide array of patches, the game is still plagued by some issues, so DICE is trying to get players back into the title as well as make up for all these inconveniences.
According to a new post on Battlelog from DICE GM Karl-Magnus Troedsson, February will be Player Appreciation month.
During this period, free Battlepacks will be handed out each day to players, as well as free shortcut bundles, while double XP weekends and special interviews will be organized.
Check out all the details below.
A Battlepack a Day
Every day that you log into the game in February, you’ll receive a Bronze or Silver Battlepack. For those of you who haven’t started opening your earned packs yet, these Battlepacks contain bonuses like XP Boosts and soldier camos. Normally, it would take approximately 30 hours gameplay to earn that many packs. Every day that you log a multiplayer game during the month of February, you will receive a new Battlepack. During weekdays, these will be Bronze, and during Saturdays and Sundays we will give away Silver Battlepacks. Remember to activate your earned XP boosts in the in-game menu to accelerate your progress.
Shortcut
Bundles
We are preparing two shortcut bundles for Battlefield 4 that we will make available for download at no cost during the Player Appreciation Month. These voluntary shortcut bundles will unlock all grenades and handguns for Battlefield 4 (the base game) so you can make up for lost time. Or if you’re new to the game, they will help you catch up with players who have been on the Battlefield since launch. We will get back to you with more details once we have set release dates for these items.
For all of our Battlefield 4 Premium users, we’re adding two additional weapon shortcuts, unlocking DMR’s and shotguns. That way, if you like, you can quickly get your hands on a large portion of the weapons available in Battlefield 4.
Double XP Weekend
During the Player Appreciation Month, we’ll be running a double XP weekend for all players. If you’re one of our many Battlefield 4 Premium members, you’ll also get an additional double XP weekend during the Player Appreciation Month as an added bonus.
Community
Missions
You will be able to participate in global DICE Community Missions where you will work together to unlock Gold Battlepacks. During the first of these Community-wide challenges, we will ask you to grab a set number of dog tags during a specified time. More details on this first Community Mission in Battlefield 4 to follow.
Expect all these new things to kick off right on February 1.
