The Battlefield Battlelog reveals Robbery is the second expansion for Battlefield Hardline, the police-themed shooter. This will be released first for premium members in September, offering what they call "the boldest, craziest heists" in the game as well as a new Squad Heist gameplay mode. Here's word:

After getting organized in Battlefield™ Hardline: Criminal Activity, the top gangs are drawing up plans, stockpiling gear, and risking it all to pull off the boldest, craziest heists ever in Battlefield Hardline: Robbery, the second expansion pack for Battlefield Hardline.

The theme of this pack is the Big Score: how to steal it, or how to stop it. The new maps and game mode in Battlefield Hardline: Robbery are designed to let criminal teams plan and execute the perfect heist; or, for law enforcement, to get the crooks in cuffs before they can pull it off.

Whether it’s boosting jewels, double-crossing an international smuggling ring, or extracting a high-value piece of intel from a precinct locker room, teams on both sides of the law will have to pull together to make (or break) these epic heists.

Here’s what’s on deck in Battlefield™ Hardline: Robbery…

• Four expansive maps: The Docks, Break Pointe, Museum, and Precinct 7
• New 5v5 game mode: Squad Heist
• 4 new weapons
• 2 new gadgets
• 2 new factional vehicles and new vehicle upgrades
• New camos and vehicle paints
• The Legendary Super Feature

We also want to talk a bit about Squad Heist, the new game mode coming in Battlefield Hardline: Robbery. Squad Heist feels refreshing and familiar. Built as an homage to the beloved Squad Rush in Battlefield 4, this mode combines the combat of Battlefield with the intimate fantasy of a classic heist.

The mode has three distinct stages:

1. Criminals take a Drill, break into Vault 1, and grab the Loot from the vault.
2. Criminals take a Drill, break into Vault 2, and grab the Loot from the vault.
3. Criminals run to an escape location, call a helicopter, and get the loot to safety.

Obviously, this will all be themed to the map. You might have to take the Glass Cutter (Drill) and steal the Blue Diamond (Loot) from the Display Case (Vault) – but the basic idea stays the same. At each stage, criminals get 25 deploy tickets. If those tickets are all lost, the cops win the match.

Squad Heist was a blast to develop, and we think it goes well with the new gadgets, weapons, and maps in Battlefield™ Hardline: Robbery. Playing it every day, it really feels like we’ve found something special. We hope you agree and join us on the Battlefield!
