Leviathan Rising is a new in-game event coming on April 11 for everyone playing Battlefield 2042. This new in-game event runs for two weeks from April 11 to April 25 at 5AM (PT).
This event includes a new two-round, 8v8 Shutdown Mode. This is a mode where attackers and defenders swap sides at the end of each 10-15 minute long match. This mode is focused on infantry battles and will take place on the maps of Flashpoint, Exposure, Manifest, and Stranded. There will still be transport vehicles available to help large groups get around faster.
Attack, Plant & Protect - Infiltrate enemy objectives & plant the Lances; a new mode objective in Shutdown, protect them, and score as many points as possible.
Defend, Locate & Disable - Locate and eliminate Lance Carriers, prevent their dropped Lances from being picked up, and defuse any that do get planted, with prejudice.​

Play the Objective - The Lance: The ESA-500 Lance is a portable microwave device that fries data drives in a limited radius. Attackers can plant it where they choose inside predefined objective areas populated with crates full of said data drives, scoring points as long as the Lance stays alive, and culminating in a shutdown. Defenders on the other hand, can disable it with a short timed interaction. Playing it smart, and outwitting your enemy is key to Shutdown. Plant the Lance in the open and bait your enemy, hide it in a corner, protect it with your gadgets and throwables, or find an approach of your own, the choice is yours.
Shut it down: When a planted Lance scores enough points in an objective, it results in a shutdown of the objective and fully removes it from the map. Expect pure chaos as you start clearing more objectives and are forced closer and closer together with the enemy team.
SecureVictory: You'll play a round as both Attacker, and Defender. When the first round ends, you will switch sides and redeploy. You’ll secure victory by scoring the most points as the Attacking side while you battle it out within these fast-paced matches.
