Get Away With Battlefield Hardline: Robbery

A new Battlefield™ is coming later this year, and we’re celebrating by keeping the action going in Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline. Over the next few months we’ll be giving away previously released expansion packs for both games to anyone playing on Xbox One, Xbox 360, Origin for PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3. There are also new Community Missions and a whole lot more to get excited about. Let’s take a look at what’s going on right now.

From May 3 to May 10, you can get Battlefield Hardline: Robbery for free. It’s all about the Big Score: how to steal it, or how to stop it. Robbery’s maps and game mode are designed to let criminal teams plan and execute the perfect heist; or, for law enforcement, to get the crooks in cuffs before they can pull it off.

  • Four Expansive Maps: Explore The Docks, Break Pointe, Museum, and Precinct 7. Criminals are ready to do something big – they’re prepped to launch massive heists in snowy cityscapes, murky docks, massive museums, and sunny coastal cities.
  • New Game Mode: Squad Heist: Built as an homage to the beloved Squad Rush in Battlefield 3, this mode combines the combat of Battlefield with the intimate fantasy of a classic heist.
  • New Weapons and Gadgets: Take out your enemies with the Throwing Knife, and check out two new Gadgets: Vehicle Healing and the CS Gas Launcher.
  • Legendary Super Feature: The Legendary Super Feature gives you the opportunity to become one of the truly elite Battlefield Hardline players.

Community Mission: Heist score

Hit the streets in Battlefield Hardline’s Heist mode and collectively score 300,000 points to get a Gold Battlepack. This mission is active between May 3, 2016 9AM PT and May 9, 2016 9AM PT.

This is just the first step on the road…

There’s more, too. Check back here every few weeks to see what’s available for free, and keep an eye on Battlefield’s Twitter channel to find out about upcoming 2X XP events, community missions, and more reasons to join us on the road to Battlefield.

11 Tips for Battlefield Hardline: Betrayal, Now Available for Premium Members

8 years ago

Got your crew ready? Good, you’re going to need them. Enemies are lurking in frozen shadows, planning ambushes behind crumbling mausoleums, and getting ready to attack you from back alleys and federal prisons. Battlefield™ Hardline: Betrayal* is now available for Battlefield Hardline Premium members.

It comes packed with four new maps, two new vehicles, seven new weapons, the ability to customize your outfit and weapons with the Gun Bench, and more. But before you hit the streets, you should take a quick skim of these tips brought together by the devs:

  • On Thin Ice, you can destroy the red pressurized canisters to create holes in the ice. Be careful driving near them, though – vehicles have a tendency to make them burst.
  • In Chinatown, you can set off fireworks in the central alley to create a smokescreen.
  • You can unlock more slots to customize more guns in the Gun Bench by completing Assignments.
  • The dual machine pistols are available for any class and do extreme damage up close, but their effectiveness rapidly falls off at range.
  • Now that various weapons have been released to all classes with the bade game update, you can pair a Mechanic with a sniper rifle, or an Enforcer with an SMG. You might not be as effective as you would with your class weapon, but the option is there.
  • The A8 S fires an arrow rather than a bullet, meaning it’s silent and won’t make you appear on the minimap.
  • Weapon Vouchers can now appear in Gold Battlepacks for all players, so if you can’t live without a particular faction weapon you can now cross your fingers and wish for good luck.
  • In the Gun Bench, don’t forget to customize outfits for each faction AND each class. You wouldn’t want those killer threads to go unseen.
  • In Squad Heist on Chinatown, a new route opens up to allow for trickier flanking maneuvers. Keep your eyes open.
  • The snowmobile can quickly get you from place to place on the wide-open Thin Ice map, and can give you some pretty impressive jump bonuses.
  • Explosive arrows can be very effective against infantry, simply because you have more of them in your arsenal.

Battlefield Hardline: Betrayal is packed with new experiences, and we’re really excited for you to get your hands on it.
