July 10, 2018 by Kevin Thielenhaus

Earn some free DLC for Battlefield 5 before the game is even out. Here’s how it works — all you need is a copy of Battlefield 1.

Battlefield 5 is fast approaching, and before the official launch on October 19th (or October 11th for EA Access subscribers), EA is busy giving away expansions for Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 4. If you download them, they’re your’s forever — and that’s true of another unique reward you might not have noticed while browsing around EA’s ‘Road To Battlefield 5‘ event. You can also unlock exclusive customization sets for Battlefield 5.

In Battlefield 5, you can customize your soldiers from top-to-bottom with a variety of in-game unlockables and DLC. The Deluxe Edition, for instance, comes with six unique customization sets you can use to personalize your soldier. These sets include outfits, camo, face paint, weapon skins and headgear — and two of these sets can only be unlocked in ‘Road To Battlefield 5‘ — an event that’s currently on-going, and will last until the launch of Battlefield 5 later this year.

It’s not complicated at all. Check the quick guide below for more details to help you unlock the DLC — this is your only chance to claim it! You can also download expansions for Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 4 — if you missed previous free DLC weeks, just keep checking. EA has promised that players will get more than one chance to download all the expansions as ‘Road To Battlefield 5‘ continues.
