This game, which was met with disappointment at launch but has seen a recent revitalization due to the launch of Season 1, made some huge changes to the series formula, with specialists being possibly the biggest one of all.Before you hop onto that cheap copy of Battlefield 2042 you just bought in the boring summer doldrums, here are the main things you need to know about specialists in the game so you don’t get confused before your boots are even on the virtual ground

Meet ‘WasteShark’, perhaps the only shark out there who would rather eat the plastic cup in your hand and not your hand itself.
Developed by a Dutch company called RanMarine, this whale shark-inspired device has been set out onto the rivers of the Netherlands to clean up the waste that has been tossed into it before it can stream into the surrounding oceans.

Meet Jetson ONE. And Tomasz Patan, its boss. In a scene right out of the melodic Jetsons opening, Patan has flown his own Jetson to work.
The one-person aviation vehicle took off from Patan’s home in Tuscany and flew him all the way to his office, which resides three miles away, soaring above traffic and reducing his travel time.
In a video released by the startup, Patan is seen taking off from his backyard and navigating through Tuscan skies, flying among the birds
Multispectral imaging, or photography using wavelengths other than those in ordinary visible light, has various applications ranging from earth observation to forgery detection in art. For example, titanium white and lead white, two pigments used in different historical eras, look identical in visible light but have distinct signatures in the UV range. Similarly, IR imaging can reveal a painting’s inner layers if the pigments used are transparent to IR.
Equipment for such a niche use is naturally quite pricey, so [Sean Billups] decided to transform an older model smartphone into a handheld multispectral camera, which can help him analyze works of
