Battlefield 2042 Season 3: Escalation has officially arrived with its Xbox Game Pass debut, and it’s brought brand-new weapons and vehicles for players to unlock. That’s not all though, as it’s also brought even more classic weapons from Portal over to All Out Warfare.

The XM8 LMG was a Medic’s LMG in Battlefield Bad Company 2, known for its mobility and quick reload thanks to its drum mag. It hit Battlefield 2042 with Portal and has finally arrived in All Out Warfare with the Season 3 update.

Here’s how to unlock the XM8 LMG in Battlefield 2042:

  • Complete both to unlock the XM8 LMG:
    • Kills and Assists with the XM8 LMG or LCMG (100)
    • Teammates healed or revived (60)

The devs said, “this Light Machine Gun variant of the XM8 is dangerous at medium ranges thanks to its very controllable recoil and agility.”

How to unlock the A-91 in Battlefield 2042

Battlefield 2042 Season 3 also brings the A-91, a Russian bullpup rifle that was used by Battlefield 3’s Engineer class.

Here’s how to unlock the A-91 Assault Rifle in Battlefield 2042:

  • Complete both to unlock the A-91:
    • Kills and Assists with the A-91 or AC-42 (100)
    • Kills with the PKP-8B in a round (10)

While DICE praise the A-91’s “highly controllable recoil,” they suggest players “watch out for its horizontal recoil that can make it unpredictable at times.”
