Now Playing: Battlefield 2042 Review-In-Progress
DICE didn’t confirm the specific skin in question, saying only that it is a Mastery Tier skin for the Specialist Boris, who is Russian. One of Boris’ Mastery Tier skins is called “Little Green Man,” and this is seemingly the skin in question. This terms is in reference to the Ukrainian crisis.
Boris is described as a “self-motivated” soldier who is seeking power and control and is known to be “a bit aggressive” when it comes to his leadership skills.
“Boris is trusted to get the job done, albeit with maximum collateral damage,” reads a line from his character description.
In other news, Battlefield 2042 players have reported “persistence data” errors that is leading to issues connecting to matches. DICE has made progress on this and more and more people are now able to connect, thankfully.
