Battlefield 1 Winter Update Adds Server Rentals And Higher Class Rank Caps
Battlefield 1's first major expansion, They Shall Not Pass, doesn't launch until March, but DICE is setting the stage today with their latest title update to the popular World War I shooter.
The Winter Update, as it is called, adds a number of refinements and adjustments to various aspects of the Battlefield 1 experience. Previously, each of the game's classes had a level cap of 10; this update brings that number all the way up to 50, giving completionists a new XP mountain to climb. Another new addition to the game is ribbons, which aim to encourage more team-based play by rewarding support actions with XP bonuses.
In addition to these new bells and whistles, the update also introduces server rentals for hardcore multiplayer aficionados, and a slew of gameplay and UI adjustments. To check out the full patch notes, click here.
