The Winter Update includes all the usual post-launch tweaks and improvements made to AAA multiplayer games these days, the most notable of which include a slight nerf to the gas grenade duration (reduced from 22 seconds to 15), reduced kill range of the cavalry sabre and an increased “threshold for suppression effects to prevent suppression from occurring too early.”
Winter Update also includes several major changes:

  • Ribbons: Multiplayer ribbons are being brought to DICE’s historical shooter, with 20 different types to be collected. Ribbons have been designed to promote “good teamplay and playing the objective,” with any player who earns one rewarded with 300XP.
  • Elite Codices: Eight of the game’s primary weapons will now feature an Elite Codex. These are earned by getting 500 kills with one of the eight weapons, which also grants a 25,000XP reward for every one unlocked.
  • Increased Class Rank: Class Ranks were previously capped at 10, but the arrival of the Winter Update sees the level cap increased to 50. Battlepacks and Dog Tags will be earned through class progression, while reaching Class Rank 50 grants players “some extra nice Class flair in the kill card to taunt your fallen foes.”
  • New rent-a-server features: Admins can now kick or ban belligerent players via the in-game UI, while they’ll also get priority access to their rented servers.
  • Map vote: Players will now be able to vote for the next map during the end of round screen, with map options randomly selected from the server’s map rotation.
