Battlefield 1 players can enjoy the game’s holiday perks starting today through Dec. 31. Ahead of the Turning Tides DLC premium release on Dec. 11, there’s plenty of reason to keep on fighting. An EA blog post details the rewards in paragraph form, but here’s a simple list of what you can expect on each day of the week.

  • Monday : 250 bonus scraps for logging in at least once, new Holiday Battlepack Revisions and items in the Scrap Store.
  • Tuesday : Holiday Battlepack mission with a Superior Battlepack reward.
  • Wednesday : Get a Battlepack for logging in at least once.
  • Thursday : 250 bonus scraps for logging in at least once, new Holiday Battlepack Revisions and items in the Scrap Store.
  • Friday : Unlock special rewards by logging in.
  • Saturday : Double XP.
  • Sunday : Squad XP boost.

The only exception to this lineup is Dec. 25. On that day there will be no scraps and instead players will be able to log in by Dec. 27 to get a free Superior Battlepack.

Those rewards will be given to all players of Battlefield 1, but access to the Turning Tides DLC will initially be limited to those with a Premium Pass before becoming available as a standalone purchase early next year. The expansion is set to arrive in two waves starting Dec. 11, with two maps in each wave. Six new firearms and two melee weapons are also included in the set. Take to the Gallipoli peninsula in your L-Class Destroyer while controlling a British Royal Marine. Here are the available guns:

  • M1917 Trench Carbine
  • Maschinenpistole M1912/P.16
  • Farquhar-Hill
  • M1917 MG
  • Carcano M91 Carbine
  • Type 38 Arisaka
  • Naval Cutlass
  • Grappling Hook

Clearly there’s a lot going on with Battlefield 1 through 2017 and beyond, so enjoy these holiday rewards while you can. All promotions start today.

Battlefield 1 is available now on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
