Leaping into the cockpit of a helicopter in Battlefield 2042 can usually be extra hassle than it is value. You acquire a fats stack of miniguns and missiles, however taking to the skies additionally means changing into enemy primary for each RPG-strapped engineer on the opposite staff.
Any pilot value their salt is used to dodging rockets, however Battlefield streamer AsheBF has it a lot more durable. When he takes flight, he is usually greeted by a squad of stream-snipers devoted to killing him and solely him. Ashe says he is been getting harassed in-game for nearly a 12 months, usually by the identical group of individuals, however he places up a really spectacular battle. AsheBF has basically spent the final 12 months in a kung fu coaching montage and mastered the artwork of being like water, besides he is dodging missiles as an alternative of fists and likewise his physique is a helicopter.
Right here you may see him basically 1v24 a helicopter, two jets, floor autos, and god is aware of what number of engineers steering manually-controlled RPGs in his course (as shared by Jake Lucky on Twitter):

An intense, suspenseful, and undeniably cool show of helicopter dominance there. It is spectacular how lengthy AsheBF, who nearly solely takes the pilot function in Battlefield, is ready to final with so many crosshairs on him, however he isn’t John Wick-ing throughout the skies as a result of he loves the fun. He is compelled to play this manner as a result of wherever he goes, stream-snipers observe.
In a stream earlier in the present day, AsheBF says the harassment marketing campaign in opposition to him began due to a “small beef” with a number of gamers and has been happening for about 10 months now.
Should you, like me, are curious if AsheBF is overselling what number of gamers are particularly going after him (in spite of everything, each Battlefield participant needs to be the one to explode the helicopter) and the way usually they present as much as damage his evening, this clip of Ashe dodging eight sequentially-fired Lis rockets is fairly blatant, as is that this clip of him getting pelted by rockets the moment his helicopter spawns within the air, or this time a gang of enemy troopers confirmed as much as teabag his dead body.
Whereas there’s a approach to block gamers inside the Battlefield 2042 shopper, that apparently does cease them from becoming a member of your foyer. AsheBF might theoretically create his personal Portal server, the place he can determine who stays and who goes, however as identified by Battlefield YouTuber EndersFPS, there are few sufficient gamers within the area AsheBF performs in (Oceanic) that no one would be part of. So he sticks to official EA servers, the place his stream-snipers apparently have a dependable methodology of assembly him in the identical foyer.
In an interview with Fortunate, AsheBF described how the harassment has gotten extra private as of late. The earlier evening, he seen that one participant had modified their gamertag to the true title of a longtime Battlefield pal who’d lately dedicated suicide.
“I really feel a bit like my soul is being ripped from me, you already know what I imply?” AsheBF says to his chat within the clip under seconds earlier than being spawn killed.

These are just some of a dozen-plus examples AsheBF has shared on Twitter in hopes that DICE will take discover and ban the gamers concerned. I’ve reached out to DICE for touch upon the state of affairs and can replace if I hear something again.
Within the meantime, AsheBF is feeling hopeful all the brand new consideration on his conundrum (and let’s be sincere, his superb piloting abilities) will result in an answer. He began in the present day’s stream by thanking viewers for sticking with him, and moments later, gained a dogfight in opposition to a stream-sniper who’d proven up proper on schedule.
