Every single fan of Battlefield 1 knows that a new Battlefest will start on March 30. However, DICE had announced that not only an event will start but Premium Friends will also be accessible in the game. The developer wants the feature to create a rapport between different players and that will happen with the newest feature.
Premium Friends will let non-premium pass holders access They Shall Not Pass DLC. DICE decided to launch the feature after receiving complaints from user of it being unfair. Now, everyone can participate in new modes and maps in Battlefield 1.
According to VG247, DICE wants to avoid fights between friends who have Premium pass and those who did not purchase it yet. The developer wants everyone to experience They Shall Not Pass DLC, as it has promised that the added content will make the game more interesting.
Premium pass holders will be the one creating the party and will be auto-tagged as Premium Enabled. For those who want to join can join anytime and all the maps will be accessible for everyone. The party will only end if the creator has stopped it.
However, only the modes and maps will be allowed access by DICE for the players who do not have the pass. The weapons and gears will not be available for Premium Friends to try. Nevertheless, they can get them once an enemy has died during their battle.
In addition, non-Premium players need to know that gaining experience points will not happen even if they join the modes in Battlefield 1. As per Digital Trends, if the player decides to buy They Shall Not Pass DLC, only then will their XPs earned in Premium Friends be automatically carried over.
DICE is giving all the players' requests to satisfy their gaming experience. Moreover, the developer is said to be releasing a new update for Battlefield 1. Therefore, it is the best time to try what They Shall Not Pass DLC has to offer, and the Premium Friends access can do just that.
