Battlefield 2042: Santa Claus divides the community

Hohoho, now i have a machine gun: It’s very Christmas in Battlefield 2042!

Battlefield 2042 fans don’t have it easy: First, the shooter comes onto the market rather buggy and then a Santa Claus skin is to be introduced. That goes too far, of course, and that’s why some fans are terribly angry. Because the game with the hovercrafts, which can drive up vertical walls, is otherwise of course totally realistic.

A Santa Claus jumping out of the plane for the rendezook maneuver would of course destroy the hardcore immersion. In contrast to golden ratchets, wallhacks, the grappling hook and so on. Anyway: some fans don’t think Santa is cool at all and DICE has already reacted to the criticism.

Battlefield 2042 Skins Leaked: Santa Claus Doesn’t Go Down Everywhere

This is what it’s about: The current Battlefield 2042 update apparently accidentally revealed some skins that were not even intended for the public. This also includes a Santa Claus skin, which has met with very little approval from many fans.

Fortnite-Skins? Quite a lot of people in the comments don’t seem to like these skins at all. On the contrary: There is talk of Fortnite skins and that DICE and EA would “destroy the game so soon after the release”.

Santa Claus in particular simply does not match the otherwise serious and gloomy tone of Battlefield 2042. Of course, this can be argued, especially because, among other things, the sayings of the specialists do not seem very serious.

DICE responds to criticism: In the meantime, there has even been a long statement from the people behind Battlefield 2042.

Among other things, they explain what the skins are all about and that some of them will most likely not even be used this year-end season.

So maybe Santa Claus isn’t up to mischief in the game this year and all realism fanatics among the Battlefield fans can breathe a sigh of relief.
