Games often have a lot of mechanics and features that need explaining. And when the first explanation doesn’t help in the long-term, then you need to explain it again, and in better detail. Such is the case with Battlefield V. For you see, as part of certain special editions, players would get certain items “airlifted” to them. They would be random, but they would have already “earned” them by getting the special editions. Yet, it still wasn’t clear how it all worked.
So, the team went to Twitter to highlight some things about the Airlifts before going into more detail via a blog post that’s coming soon. Here’s the breakdown:
“We’ll have a detailed rundown on what everyone gets in their Airlifts coming out soon,” Mitre said in the tweet. “The 20 Airlifts consist of 2 emblems, 13 weapon part skins, 2 sidearm skins, and 1 uniform set.”
So that does at least specify some of the things you’ll get.
Now, as for how you actually get these items:
“Upon logging into Battlefield V for the first time, you will notice you have received Shipments in your Armory,” Mitre said. “Depending on when you received your Deluxe Edition entitlement you may have more than one Shipment waiting for you. In other words, if you received Deluxe Edition entitlements 5 weeks prior to actually playing Battlefield V for the first time you’ll have 5 Shipments waiting for you. At that point, you will have 15 more Shipments to be delivered, once a week for 15 weeks.”
So that does clear up a little bit the Airlifts mechanics. Again though, they’ll be going into even greater detail on the feature soon enough. And of course, if you didn’t get a special edition, you’ll not even have to think or worry about these things. So lucky you! Stay tuned for more updates on the game!
