How to Master the New Rorsch Mk-4 Railgun

Tips and tricks for the new hi-tech weapon coming with Season 3

Crafted with cutting-edge technology, the Rorsch Mk-4 railgun will prove powerful – at least to the No-Pats who can master it! Read on for some pointers for this unique weapon, coming with Battlefield 2042 – Season 3: Escalation.

Unlocked through the Season 3 Battle Pass, the Mk-4 uses electromagnetic forces to launch projectiles at preposterous speeds. And with a battery pack “underbarrel” system capable of multiple firing modes, this is a versatile weapon indeed.

First off: the Single Shot mode. Using this in your hunt for headshots is the best way to achieve long-range effectiveness. A headshot with the Mk-4 will defeat an enemy at any distance, so keep away from your foe and maintain a steady aim. The Burst Mode on the other hand is best used in close-quarter battles. Use this against attackers within a range of 20 meters for best results.

Changing the railgun’s battery capacitors will alter the bullet damage curves, without requiring a magazine swap. So, using the Burst Mode in tight spaces, and quickly swapping to Single Shot for a long-distance snipe will be a pro move.

The Rorsch Mk-4 will automatically recharge when you’re not using it, so try to use it in a preemptive way. Find the enemy, start charging from cover, then peek out to unleash the powerful shots.

We hope you’ll enjoy the new gunfight possibilities the Mk-4 brings. Call the shots with this new tech as you dive into Battlefield 2042 – Season 3: Escalation.
