If you’re looking to hunt down the collectibles available in Battlefield: 4 SP campaign then this guide is for you!
Introduction & Notes
| Welcome! |
| This short guide has been made to assist you in locating all the collectibles found in Battlefield 4’s singleplayer campaign. The campaign itself consists of 7 missions, each of which has collectibles in the form dog tags (19) & weapons (16). |
| Note #1 |
| You can check your collectibles status & mission score progress by pressing ESC while in a mission. This can also be done on the battlelog.battlefield.com – https://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/website & allows you to check on any campaign relevant assignments as well (at the very bottom of the assignments page). Log in credentials are the same as your Origin username & password. |
| Note #2 |
| In addition to the collectible guns, there are also some guns that you can pick up from fallen enemies/allies and when you do, they’ll become available in the weapons box as well. They’re not counted towards any achievement or assignment, though. |
| Note #3 |
| When replaying missions, there’s a possibility of some dog tags reappearing even though you collected them previously. Whether a bug or intended, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ve missed some & you can always double check this through the pause menu. |
| Note #4 |
| Achievement ‘Full Arsenal’ requires you to complete all collectibles, all (3) campaign endings & all missions finished with gold scores. I had an instance where the achievement did not unlock although I was quite certain it should have. I went out of the game, launched it again, started the first mission & then it unlocked. |
| Technical note |
| There’s an issue in some rare cases where the FPS on the loading screen drops to below 10 or even sits at 1 and the music/chatter starts stuttering on the background. Some say it may be related to the new 3000 series cards and it was an issue I myself encountered as well. What fixed it for me personally was deleting the NV_Cache folder in C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\ (golden rule of messing with files, always backup everything). Other solutions may include disabling Origin/Shadowplay overlays and/or using the game repair function. Software such as MSI Afterburner may also cause these types of issues. |

| There are also 9 Steam achievements directly tied to the collectibles. These, along with their respective requirements, can be found below. |

Mission #01 – Baku
| Dog Tags #1 After the cutscene ends you’ll find yourself on a basement floor that has a flooded hallway. Make your way down the hallway and up the set of stairs and eventually you’ll make it to a higher floor and another hallway. There you can spot a locker that has been knocked over and is, as a result, partially blocking your path (as seen on image one). Right before that there’s a door to the right which you can open by pressing E (default key for interaction). Open the door and you’ll see the pair of dog tags sticking out of a bulletin board on the wall (as I collected mine by accident, they’re not visible – pointing at the location on image two). |
  |
| Weapon: M39 EMR As you continue to fight your way through the school, you’ll come across a large open room with a broken ceiling. There, on the left side, is a partially collapsed balcony where the weapon in question is located. Make your way up there by using the collapsed part of the balcony (aiming at on image one) and then jump across the gap to reach the weapon hidden away in a wooden box (as seen on image two). |
  |
| Dog Tags #2 Right after leaving the location previously described you’ll come across a smaller room with red walls. The second pair of dog tags of this mission can be found in the back of this room, sticking out of a wall (visible on image one, collected by accident once again on image one but still aiming at the exact location). |
  |
| Weapon: MG4 Having made your way out of the building, you’ll reach a large construction site. There’s a weapon box immediately before you drop down into the construction site and a second one in the middle of the construction site. Go to the second weapon box and look in the rightward direction (as seen on image one). You’ll see several concrete tubes and the weapon in question is in one of them. |
  |
| Weapon: CBJ-MS Continuing on from the previous location you’ll be fighting your way to enter the factory. There’s going to be two metal frames between the pipes and the last collectible weapon of the mission is on the first one (aiming at it on image one). This can be accessed by a set of stairs on both sides of the places where the pipes enter the ground. |
  |
| Dog Tags #3 The last pair of dog tags can be found towards the end of the mission in a crashed and burning helicopter. They’re located on the passenger side of the helicopter. |
  |
Mission #02 – Shanghai
| Dog Tags #4 Once you get control of your character, take a right at the red sign into the ally way until you reach an area that is illuminated by another red light – there take a left and you’ll find the dog tags attached to the second door. |
  |
| Dog Tags #5 After taking the elevator up to the floor where you can actually exit, immediately turn around and you’ll find dog tags above the elevator doors. |
  |
| Weapon: QBS-09 Proceeding on from the elevator, you’ll encounter an enemy opening a door on the left side and walking out – the weapon is in that room between some cardboard boxes and lockers. |
  |
| Weapon: RFB It’ll take some time until you reach your next available collectible, this one is going to be reachable once you’ve made your way back down to the first floor lobby after all the action on the roof top. It’s going to be under the statue that has a weapons box behind it. |
  |
| Dog Tags #6 This is the part in the mission where you’ve entered the ally ways again and end up being chased by a tank. After running over a broken fence continue down the ally ways until you reach an area with a parked scooter and a tree that is once again illuminated by some red light. The dog tags are behind a locked gate behind the tree (aiming at the precise location on the second image). |
  |
Mission #03 – South China Sea
| Dog Tags #7 These are at the start of the mission, when you wake up take a right towards a couple of sailors working in the corridor. Before them is a set of cabins and the dog tags are in the cabin to the right attached to a wall above a bunk bed. |
  |
| Weapon: P90 After you’ve departed from the Valkyrie and boarded the vessel in distress, agent Kovic will order you to find a hatch after which he proceeds to a side room on the left past the stairs to chill until you find it. Follow Kovic into that room and the P90 can be found there on top of a box. |
  |
| Dog Tags #8 In the swimming part of the mission you’ll eventually reach a room that has a greenish light illuminating it, the dog tags are in that submerged room left of a hatch. |
  |
| Weapon: U-100 MK6 After some dramatic scenes you’ll end up outside on a heavily damaged deck. Directly left from the ammo box there’s a large gap that leads down to a lower deck. Make your way to the end of the hallway and the weapon in question will be there. |
  |
| Weapon: SPAS-12 Now you’ve arrived back on the Valkyrie and fought your way to a hangar bay that has couple of Ospreys parked in it – one of which has its’ back door open. The weapon in question is inside the open Osprey. |
  |
| Dog Tags #9 The final dog tags of the mission are on the flight deck of the Valkyrie. As you enter the flight deck, take a right and you’ll spot a wrecked helicopter. The dog tags are on the passenger side of that helicopter. |
  |
Mission #04 – Singapore
| Dog Tags #10 Once you’ve landed on the beach, walk over to the beached yacht. The dog tags are on the other side (facing the water) of the yacht attached to the hull. |
  |
| Weapon: SCAR-H SV As you fight your way through the street, you’ll eventually come across with this large bridge with scaffoldings under it. The weapon is on the first floor of the scaffoldings, you’ll have to jump over a large gap to get to it. I was having a hard time jumping across the gap on the same level so I went on to the 2nd level of the scaffoldings and jumped down onto the first level and over the gap. |
  |
| Weapon: M240B Once in the parking garage, go onto the second floor and on the left side of the 2nd level there’s a group of greenish boxes. Jump onto them and then onto the building edge right next to them. Then walk around the nearest corner (going left) which then should see you facing the water. Then go around another left corner and the weapon is on a larger outward edge. It’s quite easy to fall down on the more narrower bits so be careful. I’m not sure if it was useful but I aimed down the sights of my weapon at the narrow places to guide myself through. |
  |
| Dog Tags #11 After killing some enemies, you’ll descend into this room that appears to be a bar. The second dog tags of the mission are located behind the counter. |
  |
| Weapon: M16A4 Right after you exit the room with the weapons and gadgets crate into the smaller hangar with fighter jet(s) in it, enter the room immediately to your left. There’s a bunch of boxes on a pallet and the weapon is hidden away behind them. You’re going to have to blow up the boxes with explosives. |
  |
| Dog Tags #12 Soon afterwards from the last location you’re going to be arriving at the large hangar with a passanger jet in it. The dog tags are attached to a door on the right side of the plane (when looking towards it, left side if considering the planes own orientation). |
  |
Mission #05 – Kunlun Mountains
| Dog Tags #13 Once you’ve done some rescuing, your allies are going to be gathered at a doorway to make the next move. In that room, face them as seen on the image and then just look to your right – the dog tags are in the pitch dark on the wall but they do occasionally glow so pinpointing them shouldn’t be much of an issue. |
  |
| Dog Tags #14 After you’ve taken the elevator up and went through a smaller room first, you’ll eventually be arriving at this large room. Take the ladder next to the B3 pillar as seen on the image and then proceed East on the catwalk. The dog tags are going to be attached to a circuit box on the wall, left of the container that is hanging in mid air. |
  |
| Weapon: 338-Recon This mission only has one collectible weapon and that is directly under the bridge seen on the first image. You can go there by using a set of stairs on either side of the bridge. |
  |
| Dog Tags #15 The last set of dog tags are under the platform that hosts the cable car. Just go to the edge and you’ll see them sticking out of the concrete. |
  |
Mission #06 – Tashgar
| Weapon: A-91 There’s going to be a blue house on the left as you fight your way towards the large gate in the background. Go into the blue house, make your way up the stairs and onto the roof, then jump onto the roof of the white building next to it (aiming at the building in question on first image) where you’ll find the weapon in question. |
  |
| Weapon: M249 Once through the gates, you’ll arrive at a park that has a blue truck parked on a road. The weapon is towards the left of the blue truck near bunch of wrecked cars. |
  |
| Weapon: AEK-971 Emerging from the tunnel, you’ll come across this building which has a wrecked APC in front of it and another parked blue truck. The weapon here can be found on the roof of this building. |
  |
| Dog Tags #16 The same blue truck also has the first dog tags of the mission in it. In order to access to it, you’re going to have to blow up the truck. |
  |
| Dog Tags #17 The last pair of dog tags are located on the dam, make your way onto the dam and there’s going to be a bit a upward ramp leading to a building. Take the stairs to the roof of the building and continue East until you come across some plywood panel to which the dog tags are attached to. |
  |
Mission #07 – Suez
| Weapon: AK 5C There’s a damaged Osprey plane on the left side of the deck and in front of it there’s some pile of debris. The gun is on the deck at the far edge of the debris. |
  |
| Dog Tags #18 The first pair of dog tags are attached to one of the stabilizers of the damaged Osprey. I climbed the plane from the nose area and then made my way to the back of the plane to grab the dog tags. |
  |
| Dog Tags #19 As you progress through the mission, you’ll eventually make it to the medical room where some of your allies are located. Enter the room and on the right there’s a bunch of beds hidden away behind curtains. The dog tags are attached to one of those beds. |

| I hope this guide has been at least somewhat useful in your pursuit of hunting down most if not all the collectibles found in Battlefield 4 SP. If you find any shortcomings in the guide or things you’d like to see improved or better visualisations/explanations of the locations, feel free to point that out and I’ll see what could be done. Should you have any relevant questions, don’t hesitate to ask! Good luck Marines! |
