DICE has released images of the upcoming Battlefield 4 Final Stand to give players a sneak peek of the environments that they will explore and the weapons available for use in this final expansion.

"In Final Stand you'll get your mitts on incredible hi-tech vehicles and military hardware of the near future. For instance, we have a hunch that you'll love piloting the HT-95 Levkov, with the capability to move sideways with strafing," the official blog said.

"The mere sight of the devastating Rorsch MK-1will make sharp shooters drool, and the flying XD-1 Accipiter is another explosive Battle Pickup that will give you the upper hand on the Battlefield," the blog post added.

The developers have also vouched players are going to enjoy the refurbished lineup of gadgets for this Battlefield for DLC.

"On top of all mentioned, you can expect gadgets such as the Target Detector that attaches to DMR's and Carbines and lets you auto-spot the enemy. The DS-3 DECOY emits false blips on the enemies mini-maps, fooling them into thinking they've got company," DICE writes.

There are three cornerstones that the game highlights: high-tech weaponry, traversing the icy Russian landscape, and the futuristic gadgets including machine gun-equipped drone and Decoy Signal.

The Final Stand community testing opened on Oct. 15 for Battlefield 4 Premium members who have signed up on the test's website.

Battlefield 4 Premium is also made available for those who want a 2-week head start of the Final Stand, together with all five expansions and 12 battlepacks.

The Premium Membership grants players with access to Battlefield 4 titles including China Rising, Second Assault, Naval Strike, Dragon's Teeth and Final Stand.

Battlefield 4 Final Stand is scheduled to hit store shelves soon and will be available for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.
