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 4 Dragon’s Teeth for free. Engage in intense urban battles across four dense Asian Pacific maps in this infantry-focused expansion.

• Four Urban Maps: Sunken Dragon, Propaganda, Pearl Market, and Lumphini Garden. These four maps are designed for urban combat among modern high rises, pristine parks, and bustling alleyways.
• New Game Mode: Chain Link: Dragon’s Teeth adds Chain Link, a game mode that brings another layer of depth and strategy to the multiplayer mayhem. Act fast and link together capture points to secure the win.
• New Gadget: The R.A.W.R.: Among the gadgets added in Dragon’s Teeth is the R.A.W.R., a controllable unmanned ground vehicle armed with a machine gun and grenade launcher.

Community Mission: Melee Kills

Jump into any Battlefield 4 multiplayer mode and map and collectively score 2.5 million Melee Kills to get a Gold Battlepack. This mission is active between May 3, 2016 9AM PT and May 9, 2016 9AM PT.

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.

Join us on May 6 at 4PM ET/9PM BST for a first look at the future of Battlefield™.

Battlefield 4 is a massive game, and whether you’re jumping into the battle for the first time or you’re a seasoned veteran, there’s always new stuff to learn, and new skills to master. To kick off the New Year (and to welcome all of the new players joining with the recently released Origin Access* – hello new players!), we gathered some of the best tips and tricks videos the community has put together since BF4 released.

XfactorGaming has a series called “How to Be a Better Noob”, and it provides a great crash course on the fundamentals of success in Battlefield 4. You can check out the playlist here, or jump into the first episode.

LevelCapGaming‘s video on Basic Tactics 101 does just what the name suggests – it gives a brief overview of some of the most important mechanics of the game. Want to learn about the mini-map, reloading tips, and how to find cover in a firefight? He’s got it covered.

JackFrags has some tips for players looking to up their skills from noob to pro. In the video above, he gives out some map-specific tips, but also provides some really strong feedback that can improve anyone’s game.

DooM49 has some advice for players having trouble in the skies. In the video above, he dolls out some solid advice on improving your pilot skills once you find yourself in a jet.

Westie, on the other hand, has a killer video for prospective Battlefield 4 snipers (Recon class) out there. His advice isn’t a one-size fits all approach, but he definitely has some strong advice for anyone looking to attack from afar.

There you have it! Hopefully, with these tips in-hand, you’ll be able to take on the New Year with some new skills under your belt.
