| Skills & Progression | |
| The game returns to a traditional four-class system (Assault, Engineer, Support, Recon), replacing the Specialists of BF2042. Each class has unique traits, gadgets, and weapon proficiencies. A new 'Training System' acts as a subclass, allowing players to choose one of two skill paths in each match to unlock progressive, teamwork-focused perks. |
VEIN features a full RPG system where skills (e.g., Construction, Driving, Medical, Lockpicking) improve through repeated action ('practice makes perfect'). The skill cap is currently 100. Players earn perk points to spend on bonuses like increased max health, extra carry capacity, or reduced injury chance. A full list of 20+ skills is available, allowing for specialized builds (Thief gets +15 Lockpicking). |
| public World & Exploration | |
| World & Level Design | |
| The game launched with nine multiplayer maps across four regions: Egypt, USA, Gibraltar, and Tajikistan. Maps like 'Siege of Cairo' offer dense urban combat, while 'Mirak Valley' provides a massive landscape for large-scale combined-arms warfare. The game also includes a remastered version of the fan-favorite 'Operation Firestorm' from Battlefield 3. |
The Early Access map is a playable area of about 4x4 kilometers, encompassing four towns. The final map size is planned to be expanded to 14x14 kilometers. Key points of interest include maximum security prisons (like Clinton Correctional Facility), military crash sites, power substations, and industrial areas. |

A new 'Escalation' mode funnels players into progressively tighter combat zones. A Battle Royale mode developed by Ripple Effect is also included at launch. |
The core mode is a persistent online PvPvE survival sandbox where players can fight each other (PvP) and the environment/zombies (PvE). Toggles allow for customized experiences, including player-versus-player combat, base raiding, and structure decay. |
| extension Editions & DLC | |
| Available Editions | |
| The game is available in a Standard Edition ($69.99) and a Phantom Edition ($99.99), which includes the Battlefield Pro Token, the Phantom cosmetic pack, and an XP Boost Set. Pre-ordering any edition grants the 'Tombstone Pack' of cosmetic items. |
The game is available as a single standard edition ($19.99 USD) with a temporary 10% introductory discount. The price is planned to increase as the game progresses through its five-year Early Access development cycle. |
| Post-Launch Content / DLC | |
| The game is supported by a seasonal model with a Battle Pass for new content and cosmetics. The expanded 'Battlefield Portal' sandbox, powered by the Godot engine, allows for deep community-created content, including custom maps, modes, and even zombie horde experiences. |
The game is planned for approximately five years of development in Early Access. Key planned features include the addition of NPCs, raiders, full settlements, trading systems, and continued expansion of the map to 14x14 kilometers. |
