The answer to this question is subjective. If you want the—Midnight Ultimate bundle and digital artbook & soundtrack—the Ultimate Edition is worth it for you, otherwise it's not.

If you don't want to miss out on any of the aforementioned rewards, go for the BF 2042 Ultimate Edition. However, there are certain items within this list that you can also get with the Gold Edition such as the year one pass and cross-gen bundle.

If the question was whether the Ultimate Edition is the most cost-effective, our answer would be no. There is no reason to spend an extra $40-50 on just cosmetics unless you've truly developed a taste for them. It would be best to opt out of the Standard and Gold Editions of Battlefield 2042.
