Battlefield 3: Aftermath

The Scavenger mode is the most important novelty in Aftermath. At the beginning of each match, all players receive the same equipment: basic pistol, knife, grenade, and one specialization. To acquire better equipment, it is necessary to explore the map where different guns are hidden, divided into three levels of quality. First-level weapons (including simple automatic pistols) can be found in relatively safe places near the borders of the map. Getting third-level weaponry (assault rifles and light machine guns) involves a lot of risk such as going the open areas located in the city center, where it is easy to be noticed and get shot by the enemy. What is important, even the best weapon will not help if the player is not quick and accurate enough. The game was balanced in such a way that it is a skill, not your gear, that determines the outcome of the battle.

On the Aftermath maps, it is possible to drive modified versions of three old vehicles. Americans have a Phoenix, which is a remodeled Humvee, and the Russian Vodnik is changed into Barsuk. Civilian van, in turn, was fortified and renamed into Rhino. Also, the soldiers look different – their clothes are stained with blood, and here and there you can see bandages. The expansion also introduces a new weapon – the crossbow which can silently eliminate enemies with deadly precision and power.
