British tank in Battlefield V.

Battlefield V’s multiplayer rewards include Tiger Tanks, V1 rockets, and Crocodiles

Battlefield V will encourage multiplayer communication and engagement by grouping players into tight-knit squads. And it will offer some jumbo rewards — like Tiger tanks or V1 rockets — to squads that perform the best in multiplayer combat.

Game publisher EA and DICE unveiled today the highly anticipated Battlefield game coming in October for the PC and consoles. While it is returning to the World War II setting that Battlefield began with in 2002, DICE is revamping much of the game to make it more attractive to players who may have shooter fatigue.
