Battlefield 4: How to Trigger Cinematic, Map-Changing Events

Levolution enables a dynamic battlefield in every Multiplayer Map. This allows players to interact with the environment, changing up the map from game to game.

This key feature allows both big and small changes to a Multiplayer Map. Small changes include a car's alarm going off when you touch it, or opening and closing select doors and shutters. Look for white circles to interact with certain options around the map.

The biggest alterations of a map occur after destroying large structures. This can completely change the pace of the game and the layout of the map. Below is the largest example of Levolution for each Multiplayer map.

Dawnbreaker

The largest levolution change on Dawnbreaker occurs after increasing the pressure on two underground pipes. These pipes are located in two separate underground rooms in the middle of the main street near Flag B and Flag D (Conquest).

Use the control panel on the pipes to increase and decrease the pressure, but both must be increased for this to work. A giant explosion will go along the main street from Flag B to D, demolishing the bridge over Flag C and creating a large trench along the middle of the street.

Flood Zone

The largest levolution change on Flood Zone occurs after breaking the levee at the northern part of the map. More specifically, the break-able part is located to the north of Flag B, and will always have water squirting out of it.

Use a number of explosives until the whole levee busts. Water will flood the entire map, preventing the use of most vehicles. Infantry must stick to high ground while boats rule the streets.

Golmud Railway

The levolution in Golmud Railway involves a number of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) set around the map. These can be detonated with any kind of explosive or by using the detonator at the end of the IED's wires.

Hainan Resort

The largest levolution change on Hainan Resort occurs after destroying part of the hotel at Flag B.

Destroy the first two ground floors on either the left or right side of the hotel to demolish the left or right side of the building. This will cut some routes off while opening others to the higher floors in the hotel.

Lancang Dam

The largest levolution change on Lancang Dam occurs after destroying the dam on the northern part of the map.

Use a number of explosives to damage the middle of the map. Eventually, the middle of the dam will crumble, blocking the northern road.

Operation Locker

The largest levolution change on Operation Locker occurs after destroy the guard tower at Flag C.

Use a number of explosives to damage the tower until it collapses. The Flag will be set under the collapsed tower after the destruction, and a path will open between the two floors.

Paracel Storm

The largest levolution change on Paracel Storm occurs after the windmill near the large ship is destroyed by Flag C.

After the weather turns bad, the windmill near Flag C will catch on fire. Destroy this windmill using a number of explosives and vehicle weapons. The ship will move towards Flag C and comes ashore, destroying the building near the Flag. Everyone will then have access to the Stationary Anti-Air vehicle on the deck of the ship.

Rogue Transmission

The largest levolution change on Rogue Transmission occurs after snapping the support cables that hold the giant dish together.

Destroy two of the three support cable groups on the map to partially destroy the large dish. There are five cables to each group. One group is located near Flag A, and the other group is located southeast of Flag E. Use a number of explosives to break the cables, causing the hanging part to collapse into the large dish. The structure will take a lot of damage, but the area underneath will still be accessible.

Siege of Shanghai

The largest levolution change on Siege of Shanghai occurs after four support beams are broken down on the skyscraper on Flag C.

Destroy the four support beams at the back of the skyscraper on Flag C, the ones that are facing the body of water on this map. This will cause the entire building to collapse, leaving a pile of rubble and a large dust cloud around the area. Flag C will still be accessible, but it will now be at ground level instead of at the top of the building.

Zavod 311

The largest levolution change on Zavod 311 occurs after detonating a bomb at Flag D.

Look for a laptop in the building that houses Flag D. This laptop will have a countdown timer on it that's set at 2:59:99, which is about three minutes not three hours. Interact with this laptop to either start or stop the timer. When it reaches zero, the bomb in the building will detonate, which destroys the large smoke stack outside. The smoke stack will collapse into the road between the two buildings, blocking any vehicles from driving in-between. Infantry will still be able to move on foot through the collapsed structure.
