Battlfield Portal Game Mode Guide: How to Create Custom Games
Unfortunately, there will be no hardcore mode for the main game modes of Battlefield 2042. Those game modes are Conquest, Breakthrough, and Hazard Zone. Hardcore mode is currently only limited to custom Portal games.
| Hardcore Mode Features | |
|---|---|
| Players have decreased health | Players will start the match and respawn with decreased health. The health reduced will vary on what the server host has selected. |
| Friendly Fire On | Your bullets, grenades, explosives, and vehicles can hurt or even kill your allies. Watch where you shoot! |
| Limited Health Regeneration | All players can't recover health outside of combat. Healing will be limited to Falck's Syrette Pistol, a Med Pen, or a Medical Crate. |
| No Minimap or Map | Players won't have access to the map and no information will come out on the minimap. Using items that can spot enemies won't also show on the minimap, but they will still mark enemies you see upfront. |
| Headshots are Instant Kill | One shot from the head will take out anyone. It is the most rewarding feature for players who always go for the head. |
| Weapons deal higher damage | All weapons are stronger in hardcore mode. Marksman and Sniper weapons can take out anyone with one shot, while the ARs, SMGs, and LMGs will take at least 2-3 bullets to kill. The host can set the parameters for the damage to go up higher. |
