Battlefield 1 "Winter Update" out now
The latest update for Battlefield 1, titled the Winter Update, is available now on all systems. The update will run you about 2GB and sees a good many changes. The full list of updates can be found on the official Battlefield website.
One major change is that Class Rank now maxes at 50 instead of 10, along with new rewards for achieving max Rank. The new update also sees the return of Ribbons that were present in past Battlefield games.
I'll recap some of the major updates, as told by DICE, then let you peruse the minor updates at your own pace.
MAJOR UPDATE: RIBBONS
You will now be able to collect Ribbons as you play. There are 20 different Ribbons to collect, and each time you get a Ribbon you also receive a 300XP. The Ribbons are designed to promote good teamplay and playing the objective. If you have suggestions for other Ribbons you’d like us to add, we’re always listening! This is just the beginning.
MAJOR UPDATE: ELITE CODICES
It is now possible to unlock an Elite Codex for eight of the available primary weapons in the game. All you need to do is get 500 more kills per applicable weapon. Not only will you get a shiny Elite Codex, but you will also be awarded 25,000 bonus XP. Not bad when you’re chasing those new Class Ranks.
MAJOR UPDATE: CLASS MAX RANKS
The new max Class Rank will now be 50. At every 10 new Class Ranks you'll receive a Battlepack, and when you hit 50, you will be granted some extra nice Class flair in the kill card to taunt your fallen foes. There will also be Dog Tags that you can unlock as you progress towards max Class Rank 50.
MAJOR UPDATE: SERVERS
With the Winter Update we’re releasing some highly anticipated rent-a-server features. RSP admins will now be able to kick players from their server using the in-game UI, or swing a mighty ban hammer if someone is misbehaving. RSP admins will now also have prioritized access to their server.
his isn't even the half of the full update list. For those interested, again the Official Battlefield Website has the full list.
