As you may know, the Gun Master game mode is now part of Battlefield 4 after the deployment of the Spring Update. Made famous in Battlefield 3: Close Quarters, Gun Master is played like a Team Deathmatch game – but with a twist: you don’t get to choose the weapons used. During a round, weapons are swapped every time you get two consecutive kills on an opponent and whoever is the first player to get a kill with the final weapon in the tier wins.

Now, we want you to deep-dive into the additions of the Spring Update in a brand new Community Mission. Jump into Battlefield 4, get 10 kills with Assault Rifles, and do it before June 8, 2AM PT. So let’s go sharpshooters – there’s a Gold Battlepack in it for you if you succeed.

Before the mission ends, make sure to claim the Gold Battlepack on the Community Mission page or in the Battlelog menu that you can access while you’re in the game.

This mission is active between June 4, 9AM PT and June 8, 2AM PT. You can pursue this mission in either Gun Master or any other Battlefield 4 game mode.

Track the progress of your Community Mission here. You can also see how you’re doing if you bring up Battlelog from your in-game menu – just check the “Missions” tab (PC, PS4, and Xbox One only).

The Summer 2015 season of ESL One Battlefield 4 is upon us, and with it come some changes to the tournament! The most major change to the tournament is the switch to a new Battlefield 4 Mode, Squad Obliteration.

Introducing Squad Obliteration

In Squad Obliteration, teams fight over control of a bomb that they can use to destroy their opponents M-COM stations. Each team has 3 M-COM stations which they will have to protect from their enemies. When a team loses two of their M-COM stations, they lose the match.

Squad Obliteration will force teams to take a more tactical approach to both the defense of their own base and the offensive play towards their objectives. We look forward to seeing how the teams adjust their playstyle in this new Mode.

The Final Clash at Gamescom

The ESL One Battlefield 4 Summer 2015 Season will have its big finale at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany in August! There, teams from America, Europe and Oceania will face off against each other for the title of ESL One Battlefield 4 champion and their share of the prize pool.

The Summer 2015 Season will kick off on the June 2^nd. In the European region, the top six teams from the previous season are already qualified for the season cups. They will be joined by six teams which qualified through local qualification cups and four teams from the Major ladder which everyone is able to join. In the American and Oceanic regions, the seasonal cups are open to all teams.

Fighting our way through the 12 star signs, it’s time for another thrilling Zodiac Community Mission. Taurus is up, and we’ve prepared a challenge worthy of this destructive beast.

Your mission? We want you to individually destroy 5 vehicles on any game mode or map in Battlefield 4. Do this by any means possible – C4, well-placed RPG shots, other vehicles, or why not the Engineer Class’s handy Repair Tool (yes, it can be used for destruction as well).

This mission is active between May 19^th, 9AM PT and May 26^th, 2AM PT.

Track the progress of your Community Mission here. You can also see how you’re doing if you bring up Battlelog from your in-game menu – just check the “Missions” tab (PC, PS4, and Xbox One only).

If you make enough vehicles go boom we’ll reward you with something truly awesome: the Taurus Zodiac Dog Tag. Before the mission ends on May 26^th at 2AM PT, make sure to claim this on the Community Mission page or in the Battlelog menu that you can access while you’re in the game.

Good luck with the bullfight – and if you haven’t heard you’ll also earn double XP between May 18^th, 9AM PT and May 25^th, 2AM PT. It’s a perfect time to jump into the Battlefield altogether.
