In Electronic Arts' initial reveal, Battlefield 2042 only had four specialists. However, EA promised that more would be coming, both before Battlefield 2042 launches and after it has arrived. True to that statement, EA recently confirmed that Battlefield 4's Irish is headed to Battlefield 2042 as the game's fifth specialist.
Now, the game's developer, DICE, has released some gameplay footage of Kimble "Irish" Graves in action.
Irish joins Battlefield 2042 as the fifth specialist
As we learned from the short film, Exodus, the former United States Marine Staff Sergeant is now the captain of the No-Pat destroyer MFS-04 Exodus.
In his gameplay trailer, we see Irish placing his DCS Deployable Cover to help him land hits on incoming enemies. We're then taken to another scene where he's putting down an APS-36 Shootdown Sentinel for protection against incoming fire and explosives.
