Battlefield 6 (now confirmed to beBattlefield 2042) will apparently have “wacky cosmetics” and a customizable robot dog, according to known leaker Tom Henderson.
In response to someone on Twitter asking if Battlefield 6 will have “stupid cosmetic items” like inBattlefield 5, Henderson confirmed that - as far as he knows - the new Battlefield will have “wacky cosmetics”, due to “the nature of the setting”.
However, according to Henderson, the inclusion of these cosmetics “isn’t necessarily a bad thing and is actually pretty cool”. Henderson then attached a link to avideoabout ballistic helmets, suggesting this could be the type of cosmetics he’s referring to.
These types of cosmetics would make sense given that Henderson previouslyclaimedthat the new Battlefield will take place in a modern to near-future setting - around 10 years from now.
In a follow-up reply, Henderson also said that the robot dog players will have will be customizable - though he didn’t share the extent to which players can change the robot or what those cosmetics will look like.
Henderson previouslyclaimedplayers will have a robot attack dog “more like Boston Dynamics Mule that can run really fast and potentially has a weapon on it,” and said that “it looks like it could be a new vehicle type instead of a gadget.” This recent rumor suggests you’ll get to spruce this robotic canine up too.
Just due to the nature of the setting - I think expectations should be set that there will be some wacky cosmetics - Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing and is actually pretty cool.https://t.co/LEnOZLUAj0 https://t.co/BNXamyYR5HApril 18, 2021
