Due to recent international events, DICE has announced that it will disable the weekly missions of Battlefield 2042, and its reward, the fictional Russian Mi-240 Super Hind gunship skin, will no longer be unlockable.
On the official Twitter DICE said: "In view of the current events, we have disabled this week's weekly mission system and this week's rewards are no longer unlockable. Players who have already completed this week's mission are not affected, and weekly missions will return next week. The Battlefield Wikipedia describes the Mi-240 Super Hind as an "evolution" of the Mi-24 gunship in Russian reality. It is very similar to the real-life version, with a unique dual cockpit design and wings capable of fitting multiple weapon systems.
This isn't the first time there has been a problem with Russia-related in-game items: in November 2021, the epic skin for the in-game expert character "Boris" also had to change its name. DICE said at the time that "it inadvertently references real-world issues and does not reflect our team's values". The skin was previously named "Little Green Man", a term for an irregular Russian army.
