It’s not stupid if it works
WhileBattlefield 2042players are busy voicing their concerns about thespotty state of the gameafter its first weekend of early-access availability, there’s enough space toalsoshare amusing clips and ease the pain with laughter while we wait for DICE to roll out updates. I haven’t seen this trend in-game, but it seems that a certain “crazy enough to work” strategy involving tanks and elevators has begun to take root inBattlefield 2042.
Getting pummeled point-blank by a tank isnothing newfor theBattlefieldseries, but the ways in which it can happen inBattlefield 2042are fresh. With the ability tocall in a vehicle air-drop, players have figured out that perching on top of skyscrapers with a tank is actually a viable enough strategy to catch a few unsuspecting soldiers off-guard.
You might expect to see a firing squad at the end of an elevator ride, but this?

And that’s not the only vehicle to watch out for — hovercraft can worm their way up too.

Skyscraper tanks aren’t going to turn the tide of battle, and there are plenty of answers for a pesky land vehicle that intentionally gets itself stranded hundreds of feet up, but it’s hilarious to see this plan come together. It’s funny from the outside looking in at these poor souls, and frankly, I think it’d still be funny if it happened to me — for a time, anyway.
Even though I’m pretty mixed onBattlefield 2042, I’m having fun here and there when it works, and I genuinely enjoy seeing players’ wacky antics online. Maybe I’ll take some cues from the community and try to pull off the soon-to-be-iconicwingsuit C5 drop.
I’m worried about the servers holding up on launch day (November 19), so I need to act fast. More than that, though,Halo: Infinitemultiplayeris also calling my name.
