Battlefield Hazard Zone

Hazard Zone Uplinks

Each Hazard Zone map has laptops scattered throughout. Each one contains an Uplink, which can provide your team extra combat support. These include Vehicle, Ranger, and Reinforcement Uplinks.

Earn XP and Dark Market Credits

Completing Hazard Zone matches will grant players with in-game XP and Dark Market Credits that can be used to upgrade weapons and equipment.
