A well-known dataminer discovers new information about the Liquidators event, which is planned for October. Among other things, a well-known game mode is to return
After Season 2, Battlefield 2042 is supposed to continue with new content soon. EA had already announced the Liquidators event for October 2022, but has been stingy with details so far. Now the well-known dataminer Temporyal publishes new information, which he probably found in the game files. In the past, he has correctly predicted new content many times.
Everything we know about the event so far can be found here. As soon as we have new official information about the start time and content, we will add it to the article. How Update 2.1 changed the game?
When is the Liquidators event coming?
The event is scheduled to go live in mid-October 2022. Neither the developers nor the unofficial sources reveal an exact release date.
What”s new with the Liquidators event?
New game mode: Tactical Conquest
According to EA, there is supposed to be a new game mode that is limited to infantry. Dataminer Temporyal already knows more. The mode will be called Tactical Conquest and will be played with two teams of 8 or 16 players each. The combat will take place on smaller versions of familiar maps, without vehicles. The teams must each try to hold the majority of probably three conquest points to win a match.
Playing the new mode will also unlock as yet undefined rewards. These are likely to be new cosmetic items:

Temporyal also explains that the name of the game mode in the files indicates that Tactical Conquest corresponds to the Squad Contest mode. Veterans are already familiar with this from Battlefield 5.
The shortcode (“sqcq”) seems to give away that it”s like Squad Conquest in BFV.

New cosmetic items
Among other things, there should be a new skin for Sundance and the AK-24, which you can see in the tweet above. It is also possible that other cosmetics that have not yet been released will be introduced with the event:

What happens after the event?
The next big date is the start of Season 3. Since the second season is supposed to end on 22 November, we can assume that Season 3 will also start in November 2022. There we can expect big changes, such as the return to the class system, further map updates and of course new weapons, vehicles and more. A developer video already gives a foretaste:
From the end of October, however, the stumbling Battlefield will additionally have to contend with the release of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. The shooter competitor could just register high player numbers in the open beta!
What do you think of the new Liquidator event game mode? Would you like to see a more tactical infantry mode for Battlefield 2042? Or do you prefer to play on large battlefields? Feel free to post your opinion in the comments!
