Battlefield 4’s Battlefest event kicks off with double XP, screenshot contest

Add as a preferred source on Google

Dubbed as a “festival built for gamers,” EA and DICE are kicking off a month-long “Battlefest” promotion for Battlefield 4 and the soon to be released expansion, Dragon’s Teeth, with weekly rewards, contests, and in-game content.

Battlefest kicks off on July 12, with players receiving double XP through the weekend. They can also start participating in Battleshots, wherein players send in gameplay screenshots based on different theme requirements. The daily prize in the Battleshots contest is an AMD graphics card, $50 gift card to the DICE store, and a Battlefield 4 Premium membership on the platform of their choice. Not too shabby.

In addition to the Battleshots contest, other initiatives EA and DICE will be introducing over the course of the event include weekly camouflage unlocks, community missions where strangers must work together to complete a common goal, and a stunt video competition. Somewhere along the line, EA and DICE will be giving away three gaming PCs from AMD, and the site teases other surprises to come as well.

The event runs from July 12 to August 13. Check out our review of Battlefield 4 here and get more details on Battlefest from the Battlefield Blog.

I played like a rat in Arc Raiders, and the loot was disgustingly good
Ratting my way downtown to the best gear
An ambush in Arc Raiders

I did not go into Arc Raiders planning to play like a rat. After a few bad runs, I had lost some of my good gear and just wanted to blow off some steam in the game's unofficial PvP arena "Stella Montis". In the best-case scenario, the goal was to go in guns blazing, borrowing some fine piece of equipment from fellow raiders, and booking it to the extract. The worst-case scenario, where I would lose everything, didn't bother me since I was running a free loadout.

Stella Montis has a reputation. It is built for tight and tense corridors that encourage player engagement. But another reason for its infamy is how it exposes one of the players' biggest frustrations with this game, which is the free leadout problem. Free loadout players arrive with a basic gun, ammo, shield, and health, which is not much on paper, but enough to become dangerous when they have nothing meaningful to lose.
