Something is wrong at Area 51.
Pax Armata forces arrived expecting to secure classified technology. Instead, they uncovered one of the base's darkest secrets: a Marker secretly housed within the facility.
Within days, reports began pouring in. Soldiers described violent hallucinations, strange symbols appearing across the base, and entire units turning on one another. Whatever was hidden beneath Area 51 wasn't dormant. It was waiting.
Starting October 20, Dead Space arrives in Battlefield 6 with Dead Space: Convergence, a limited-time Halloween event featuring Marker Incursion, a new 16-player PvE experience where squads battle through corrupted territory, destroy Marker Shrines, and race to stop the Marker’s influence before it triggers a catastrophic event known as Convergence.
Consider this your official briefing on the nightmare unfolding in Dead Space: Convergence.
INSIDE MARKER INCURSION
The deeper you move into corrupted territory, the harder the fight becomes.
The most common threat comes from Marked Soldiers, former military personnel who have fallen under the Marker's influence. They see the battlefield differently, treating allies as enemies and defending the source of their obsession at any cost.
As squads advance, they'll also encounter Marker Shrines, smaller replicas built by those affected by the signal. These structures strengthen the Marker’s hold on an area and attract additional resistance. Destroying them is key to maintaining momentum and slowing the spread.
Survive the fighting, destroy the Shrines, and push toward the source. Every mission leads to the same objective: stop Convergence before the situation becomes irreversible.
WIELD THE DS-23 PULSE RIFLE
No Dead Space crossover would be complete without the DS-23 Pulse Rifle.
Available as a Battle Pick-Up during Marker Incursion, the iconic weapon makes its Battlefield debut during the event. Longtime Dead Space fans will immediately recognize its unmistakable design and high rate of fire.
EARN DEAD SPACE-INSPIRED REWARDS
Completing event challenges unlocks a range of Dead Space-inspired rewards, including:
Aegis VII Soldier Skin
RIG-Certified SMG Weapon Skin
Dead Space Weapon Stickers
Soldier Patches
Player Card Backgrounds
Additional Event Rewards Dead Space-Themed Store Bundles
Headlining the rewards is the Aegis VII Soldier Skin, inspired by the industrial engineering suits that became synonymous with the Dead Space series.
Keep your eyes open while completing challenges. Strange transmissions, hidden references, and pieces of environmental storytelling are scattered throughout the event. Longtime Dead Space fans may recognize familiar details, while newcomers can uncover the mystery as they play.
