Battlefield 5 to Introduce Airborne Mode
By Zac Cameron ·
Teased on Twitter, the new game mode promises to be an action packed attack and defend game types revolving around jumping out of planes.
Battlefield 5 is set to feature a new multiplayer game mode called Airborne, where players will parachute down onto the map and engage in combat to either defend or attack artillery. Teased on twitter earlier this week, the game mode is understandably light on details for now, but it seems as though this is the game mode set to compete with the announced Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout mode.

The tweet, which reads: “Say hello to Airborne: a new Battlefield V mode where you'll parachute into the battlefield and work with your squad to destroy enemy artillery, or defend them and make sure the threat from above is dealt with.”
Hopefully this new game mode will have a presence at the upcoming E3 event, so we can get our hands on how it runs, but with the parachute mechanic being used to deliver players into battle, it will be interesting to see how Dice/EA balance the game, with such a wide variety of areas to spawn thanks to the open skies.
We won’t know more until we see more, unfortunately, so stay tuned as we keep our eyes open for any more information on the upcoming game modes for Battlefield 5.
