EA has announced a special event for Battlefield 4 this month, described as ”a festival built for gamers”. It’s called Battlefest, and it kicks off on July 12.
During the event players will earn rewards and in-game content, be able to enter various contests and earn extra experience points.
When the event starts on July 12-13 there will be a double XP weekend. Not only that, but a daily ‘Battleshots’ contest will begin, with players tasked with capturing in-game screenshots based on a theme decided by EA. ”Each daily winning entry will receive an AMD graphics card, $50 gift card to the DICE Store, and a Battlefield 4 Premium membership on their platform of choice,” says the publisher. You can find the rules for the Battleshots contest here.
Here’s some of the other plans EA and DICE have for Battlefest:
- Free Camo Unlocks
Each week we will be releasing a free camo in-game for all players. This will give you more ways to standout on the battlefield.
- Double XP
As noted above, we’re kicking Battlefest off with a double XP weekend and we’re definitely going to end with one too for all players to reap the benefits.
- Community Missions
Each week we will be hosting a global community challenge to reach a specific goal in-game. If you reach the goal, everyone who logs in will receive a free gold Battlepack the following week. The first mission starts on July 15, 2014, where you will have to collectively reach 15 million revives across all platforms, with the mission ending on the eve of July 20, 2014.
- Stunt Video Competition
This a month long contest where we are asking you to send us your best stunt video that can only be done in Battlefield 4. Once we receive the submissions, the DICE team will pick the top 12 and then you, the fans, will vote on the top three winners to win a massive prize. Official announcement to come; official rules can be found here.
