This isn't just a stripped-back demo. The trial includes access to six different game modes, covering the classic massive scale of Conquest down to the tighter, infantry-focused chaos of Domination and Team Deathmatch. For those looking for a tactical edge, the trial features "Nightfall" variants for the smaller modes, which significantly change visibility and how you approach squad-based flanking maneuvers.
The map rotation for the trial is particularly interesting. You'll be able to deploy to Contaminated, but the real highlight is the inclusion of the new Hagental Base. This map leans heavily into underground combat, forcing players out of their tanks and into brutal, close-quarters corridors where squad synergy becomes the only way to survive the Pax Armata meat grinder. If you've been curious about how the meta has shifted since launch, this is the perfect time to test out the current vehicle-to-infantry balance.
With the story of the NATO collapse and the rise of private military corporations setting the stakes, this trial provides a narrative entry point alongside the mechanical deep-dive. Whether you're a series veteran or a newcomer, the Hagental Base's verticality and the Nightfall lighting changes offer a high skill ceiling for those willing to coordinate. Mark your calendars for March 17th and get your squad ready for the drop.
