Jumping into a helicopter cockpit in Battlefield 2042 is often more trouble than it’s worth. You’ll get a ton of miniguns and missiles, but taking to the skies also means being the number one enemy to all the other teams of Engineers being chased by RPGs.
All pilots are used to avoiding rockets, but Battlefield streamer AshBF finds it much more difficult. As he flies away, he is greeted by a squad of stream snipers dedicated to killing him. that’s all he. Ash says he’s been harassed by the same group in-game for nearly a year, but he put up a very impressive fight. AsheBF basically spends this year training his montage of kung fu and mastering the art of being like water, except that he avoids missiles instead of fists and that his body is a helicopter. Did.
Here we see him basically 1:24 piloting a helicopter, two jets and a ground vehicle. Also, God only knows how many Engineers are steering his manually controlled RPG in his direction (shared by: Jake Lucky on Twitter):

There, the helicopter dominance is rendered intense, suspenseful, and undeniably cool. Taking on an almost exclusively pilot role in Battlefield, it’s impressive how long AsheBF can hold out with so many crosshairs, but he loves thrills so much so in John Wicking across the sky. do not have. The reason he’s forced to play this way is because stream snipers chase him wherever he goes.
In today’s stream, AsheBF said the harassment campaign against him started due to a “small fight” with a few players and has now been going on for about 10 months.
If you’re like me, wondering if AsheBF is overhyped and how many players specifically are following him (after all, every Battlefield player wants him to blow up helicopters. ), and if you’re curious how often they show up to ruin his nights. this clip The footage of Ash dodging eight squirrel rockets fired in quick succession is pretty explicit, as is this clip of him being bombarded with rockets. The moment his helicopter appears In the air, or now a group of enemy soldiers appeared. put his corpse in a tea bag.
There is a way to block players within the Battlefield 2042 client, but apparently it prevents them from joining lobbies. AshBF could theoretically create their own portal server where they could decide who stays and who leaves, but as the Battlefield YouTuber pointed out Enders FPS, the region where AsheBF plays (Oceania) has few enough players to keep anyone from joining. As such, he’s stuck to an official EA server, where his stream sniper seems to have a reliable way to meet him in the same lobby.
and interview AsheBF explained with Lucky how harassment has become so personal these days. The night before, he noticed that a player had changed his gamertag to the real name of his longtime friend of Battlefield who recently committed suicide.
“I feel like I’m going to have my soul ripped a little bit. Do you know what that means?” AshBF says in chat in a clip seconds before being spawn-killed.

These are just a few of the dozen or so examples shared by AsheBF on Twitter in hopes of DICE taking notice and banning the players involved. We have reached out to DICE for comment on this situation and will update if we hear back.
Meanwhile, AsheBF is hopeful that renewed attention to his conundrum (and, let’s be honest, his amazing piloting skills) will lead to a solution. He started today’s stream by thanking the viewers for sticking with him until the end, and right after that, he won an air battle with a sniper who appeared on schedule.
