Battlefield 4 Developers wrote Battlefield 4 is the direct sequel to Battlefield 3, released on October 29, 2013 for Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3. The Campaign follows a cast of characters as they fight the Chinese antagonists. The real fun in Battlefield 4 is the Online Multiplayer. It features 64-player matches on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Xbox 360 and PS3 owners, however, will be limited to only 24 player matches. An additional two players will be added for Commander Mode. Each person around the world can customize one of four different Kits for use in seven different Game Modes on ten different Multiplayer Maps. The three conflicting countries in Battlefield 4's multiplayer include the United States of America, the People's Republic of China, and the Russian Federation. All Weapons, Vehicles, and Equipment are based off of these three factions.

Characters
Irish
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Irish is possibly the most funniest, and heroic character in the campaign. He risks his life for you multiple times and knows how to kill. He has great strategies to take out enemies and do it without being seen. He is the killer of this group.
Pac
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Pac is not a big killer, he seems to be more scared than most people. He can kill and he is the smarts of this group. He will hack into systems in a blink of an eye, he will also be stealthy too.
Hannah
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Hannah is probably the most stupidest character in the game. I hate her for specific reasons in the campaign and you will find out why. She thinks that you would forgive her for what she has done but NOPE.
Collectibles
A player will know exactly when there near a collectible because a chime noise will trigger, it is the exact same as guns or achieving a medal. Here below I will talk about all the levels places where to get the dog tag or gun.

Collectibles
A player will know exactly when there near a collectible because a chime noise will trigger, it is the exact same as guns or achieving a medal. Here below I will talk about all the levels places where to get the dog tag or gun.
Dog Tags
Baku
On the first mission Baku there is a total of three dog tags to actually obtain.
Shanghai
There is another 3 dog tags that can be found when playing this level.
South China Sea
Yet again this map holds three dog tags to find and collect.
Singapore
Another three dog tags to collect here.
Kunlun Mountains
There is 3 on this map once again.
Tashgar
Only 2 on this one!
Suez
Another 2 dog tags to be found.
On the first mission Baku there is a total of three dog tags to actually obtain.
- #1. The very first dog tag is pretty simple to find and you should be able to find it without even looking at this. After watching the very first cut scene you will notice you spawned in a building, just follow the path it leads you to. Now once you see the very first door to the right open it and take a look to the left on the bulletin board it will be right there. Hold X to pick it up.
#2.The second dog tag on this map is located in the courtyard or right when you jump off at after helping Irish. This one is a little tricky but right before you jump down into the first gadget room jump over the floor hole and into the window to obtain the collectible. This one was the one I could never find and eventually had to find a video on it.
#3. The third one is another tricky one and might get you hurt. Right after the coolest scene happens and the building falls your gonna want to help Dun but dont drive away. Your gonna want to go to the helicopter on fire and go to the passenger seat. It will be right there just waiting for you.
Shanghai
There is another 3 dog tags that can be found when playing this level.
- #1. Yet again right when you spawn or get out of the car if you take a right into the alley way it will be found there. Head left at the very end of the alley way and listen for the chime. Once you here the chime look for it on a wooden door.
#2. This one is a sneaky one but can very easily be missed. Once the player sneaks into the building you will take an elevator up. MAKE SURE TO STAY IN COVER AT THE FIRST STOP, shoot people up there. Once Pac presses the button again you will go even higher and you will here the chime right when you get out. Look above the elevator door and it will be located there.
#3. The third dog tag can be a very hard one to find because of all the ways you have to take but when your squad is moving out of the area and getting chased by the tank follow the ally ways. Once you are near a tree the chime will occur. Now from the tree you want to take a right and head over to the gate. Once looking at the gate look at the right wall supporting it and it will be right there waiting to be picked up.
South China Sea
Yet again this map holds three dog tags to find and collect.
- #1. Right as you spawn and get done talking to that one guy you get out of bed and run into the hallway. As your running and you see the two guys sitting there talking under the red light. Right before you reach there the chime will occur and you take a right into the sleeping area and locate the do tag in the room.
#2. The second set of tags are underwater when you find hatch G-46. Follow your squad mates to the room you in which you surface. In this room, the green glowing door adjacent to the entrance has a brown pillar to its left. The tags will be there on the wall.
#3. After you reach Hannah in the infirmary you are headed outside. Your gonna want to fight of course but while fighting look for a crashed helicopter. Once found run over to the passenger seat and pick up the dog tags.
Singapore
Another three dog tags to collect here.
- #1.On the beach where the level begins, there is a while boat along the beach to the left. Circle around to the side facing the water and grab the Horizontal Rain tags.
#2. The second pair of tags are inside the club you eventually reach (the same club Hannah and Irish get into a verbal scuffle). Go behind the bar with the red stools and look near the floor to the middle. The Armored Column tags are there.
#3.When you reach the hangar with the large white and blue passenger plane, the thirds and final tags on this level will be on the plane's left wing. Reach it by using the ramp next to it in order to hop on. Scale the wing to the body of the plane and you'll find the tags on the door.
Kunlun Mountains
There is 3 on this map once again.
- #1. When you meet back up with Irish after rescuing him, look for the dark holding cells in the next room to the right. Go to the furthest cell and you'll see the glowing dog tags on the left wall of this cell.
#2. When your at the part when Dima or the russian guy is hacking the control system go up on the cat walk and start scanning the left wall. Once you have found the spot it should be on an electrician box sitting there, grab it.
#3. Ok this one can cause you to restart but its worth it right? When your heading up to the tram to take you down go under the platform and walk to the ledge of glory. Look down over the middle and you will see the dog tags, pick em up.
Tashgar
Only 2 on this one!
- #1. When you reach the building in the park with the blue blankets hanging above the staircase (can't miss it), there is a blue truck in front of this building. In order to obtain these tags, the truck will need to be destroyed. After, enter the truck through the rear and grab the tags near the cab.
#2. After moving downhill and onto the compound, you'll be attacked by a helicopter. Once this has been dealt with, climb the yellow ladder on the left to reach the top of the office building. Look out to the black scaffolding. Hop over to it and snag the tags on it.
Suez
Another 2 dog tags to be found.
- #1. On the left side of the deck, there is a white plane. Clear out the enemies and scale the plane using its right wing. Get on top and head to the back of it. You'll see the knife holding the tags jutting out from the side.
#2. When you reach the infirmary inside the Valkyrie, the final Dog Tags can be found behind the second set of curtains on the right side of the room on the gurney.

#2. MG4 is located under a cylindrical tube made of concrete just to the right of the construction site.
#3. CBJ-MS is found just before the abandoned factory. Head up the yellow ramp on the right side of the area. When you reach about half way, hop over to the railing connecting the two sides and you will find it here.
Shanghai - 2 Guns
- #1. QBS-09 can be found after you take the first elevator up. After an enemy emerges from a door on the left, this room contains the weapon between the lockers and boxes stacked against the wall.
#2. RFB is found just on the large foo dog statue on the second level of the main lobby. This is the area where the player is defending Pac against waves of enemies while he attempts to pick the door lock. PlayStation 3 version has this located on the ground floor after you drop off the VIP's and ride the elevator back down. Base of statue located next to ammo crate.
South China Sea - 3 Guns
- #1. P-90 can not be missed, when you are looking for the hatch to go under water you should notice a glowing weapon on the table and that is the P-90, pick it up.
#2. U-100 MK5 is located under the deck of the ship outside after the player retrieves the data they came to find. Head to the left and look for a breach. Jump in and go down the hall. Make a left and there will be the gun against the wall looking out to sea.
#3. SPAS-12 can be found after you head back to the Valkyrie. Look for the open plane on the left side of the deck. Head in and the shotgun will be up against the left in between the seats.
Singapore - 3 Guns
- #1. SCAR-H SV is near the scaffolding under the bridge. Scale the first level of this structure and hop over the large gap on the right side. Continue around and the rifle will be at the edge.
#2. M240B is a bit of a complicated find. When you reach the parking garage, head to the top. You'll see a stack of green supply crates on the left. Jump on these and to the ledge of the building adjacent to it. Follow this ledge around to the side that faces the ocean and when the ledge extends, the LMG is at the edge.
#3. M16A4 is more hidden than most weapons are in the campaign. When the player reaches the small air craft storage room, there will be a stack of boxes in a supply room, the player will need something explosives to destroy these. Once done this the M16 is placed between the piping and the wall.
Kunlun Moutains - 1 Gun!

The ability to create and join a Platoon for up to 100 members.
Basic Platoon management such as inviting, applying, and promoting/demoting members.
A private and public Platoon feed, where you can communicate and coordinate.
A Platoon emblem and tag that all members can easily apply.
The ability to earn stats for your Platoon and rank it up, and see all the matches you played together.
Our goal is to make it both fun and easy for you to get organized and be part of the best Battlefield 4 Platoon ever created. Whether you want to discuss your past games and plan the next, or get competitive and see who your Platoon is up against, the feature will be as powerful and intuitive as possible.

Rank Up
Platoons for Battlefield 4 also feature a brand new progression and stats system. In order to earn stats, four players from the same active Platoon must play together in the same round of Battlefield 4, and then your core stats will be either averaged or accumulated and applied to the Platoon. Best of all, you will earn score for your Platoon, so you can rank it up (initially, ranks 1-10 will be available, with more ranks to come). Other stats such as Kill/Death Ratio, Score per Minute, and Skill will also be shown for your Platoon.

Battlepacks
The all-new Battlepacks are bundles of content that can be earned and used in-game in Battlefield 4. Containing anything from Weapon Accessories to XP Boosts, Battlepacks bring more exciting treats alongside your Battlefield multiplayer progression. Battlepacks don't give anyone gameplay advantages, but instead let players tailor their Battlefield 4 experiences with more customization options.
What to Find In Battlepacks
The content of a Battlepack is a mix of items. Among them you could find knives, dog tags, soldier camouflages, weapon/vehicle paints, experience boosts, weapon accessories, or soldier portraits & emblems for Battlelog.
Item Rarity
The items you will find in the Battlepacks come in 4 different colors to indicate rarity: Standard (grey), Advanced (white), Superior (blue), & Distinguished (orange). Premium items are considered Distinguished items and are included in Battlefield 4 Premium. There are four kinds of Battlepacks: Bronze, Silver, & Gold as well as a Weapon Pack. A Bronze Pack will contain three items: two Standard ones, and one that has a chance of being Advanced. The quantity and rarity of the items increase in the Silver Packs and Gold Packs. A Weapon Pack is aimed specifically at the noted weapon and provides weapon accessories for that weapon.
How to Earn Battlepacks
Battlepacks are earned through your progression in multiplayer and are tied to both your rank-ups and your weapon progression. You will receive your first Bronze Battlepacks at rank 3, and new Battlepacks will be awarded at rank 5, 7, 10 and beyond. During weapon progression, you will begin earning new Weapon Packs after you've unlocked all previous accessories for a weapon.
Updates
I will be updating this daily with more information. If you would like to see something added I will try my best to add it. I have all updates planned out that I still need to do but till then here it is.
Irish and Hannah
At the very end of the story you will notice that the Valkyrie is about to blow up but the only way to save it is to blow it up. You hannah and Irish go out to the boat with charges of C4 and other things to blow it up. You plant the charges and grapple up so you wont blow up. When you try to blow the charges it doesnt work, and you have to send out Hannah or Irish to risk there lives to blow it up. You must choose one, they go down there and they say RECKER BLOW THE CHARGES! The one thats not down there trys to persuade you into not doing it so they can live when you blow the charges you will see the boat blow up and see a huge explosion right where the character you chose was at. It is very sad for Irish but not hannah ;)
Pac
As said before the Valkyrie is about to blow up and you must go to blow it up with charges. When your on the grappling hook about to choose one of the characters but you dont know which and take forever you will start hearing people say blow em up recker hurry. But if you never choose one the Valkyrie will blow up and Pac will die. Irish and Hannah start tearing up and its sad everything you choose it can never end well when it comes to war.

-Fixed one of the most frequently occurring crashes that could happen during round transition.

-Fixed a crash that could occur when bringing up the scoreboard.

Kits
Medic/Assault
The assault class or kit is one of the most used or most common kits used, in fact its the most popular class in every battlefield game. It is the only kit that has assault rifles on it (will be listed below). While the Assault is meant to attack and provide all-round effectiveness, players can equip their rifles with scopes for long range combat, or shotguns for close range combat. The class is really good to use and can all around do anything you like with it. The main purpose of this class is to revive team mates, capture objectives, revive players etc. probably the most ranking up kind of class to use.
Tips
Drop a med kit whenever you possibly can for team mates, there is no way they are gonna get an objective with out getting shot. You always want to be in the front or in the middle with this class so you can help team mates. On larger maps consider putting scopes to increase range and all.

The engineer class is commonly used mostly when flying helicopters. It is the focused vehicle class you can destroy helicopters, tanks, jets etc. it is great. You can kill or heal your teammates vehicles helping you stay alive. The engineer classes special guns are carbines or SMGs, so this class is mostly a close range class.

Support
The support class is the second most used class in most battlefields. You can light a whole crowd up, suppress some one, and help people by giving them ammo. When using an LMG you spray the heck out of almost any one considering most hold 100 or 200 rounds. This class of course uses mostly LMGs, they spray every where.
Tips
AIM IN AND THEN SHOOT, that is a big one. The LMGs have indirect fire and if you dont do that you will most likely die. Thats the only one that you need to know.

Vehicles
Tanks
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The tanks in BF4 have not really changed much since bf3. You can still put attachments on the vehicles but there is still a bigger variety to what to choose from and what does what. I will go down most of the attachments here:
Secondary Weapon
The secondary weapon can have different types of shells or a coaxial LMG. I prefer using the shells if your planning on killing vehicles or other tanks. If your planning on killing infantry use the LMG, it shoots and kills people really fast. If you are trying to kill someone with the explosives you are not guaranteed to kill them as you would with the LMG. They both have ups and downs.
Protection
There is multiple ways to protect your vehicle from rockets or explosives. The most effective one is Active Protection. Active protection is when if you use it you will have 5-10 seconds of nothing being able to hurt you. Rockets can hit you but no damage will be taken. The other ones dont really do anything to protect you they just send smoke out so your enemy cant see you.

Helicopters
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
There are 3 different types of helicopters;Scout, Attack, and Little Birds. They all have there own unique abilities and I will be talking about them below.
Scout
You need passengers in this vehicle if your planning on getting points or killing people. This is more like a transport vehicle to drop people off or pick them up. It has 5 open slots for people to get in; 2 gunners, 2 repair men or gun seats, and a driver. This vehicle isnt the best and it can get shot down easy
Attack
Attack helicopters are probably the best helicopter. They have more armor than the little bird and can kill people faster. It has all kinds of attachments you can use to let you kill people and other things quicker. It has 2 seats only which is bad I guess but in these two seats you both can kill people in them. First seat is to fly and rockets, and the second seat is the gunner seat or kill infantry.
Little Birds
Little birds are a mix of both attack and scout helicopters. You can drop off 3 people in your helicopter or pick 3 people up. If your the driver you can shoot people on the ground to provide cover support for your allies. You can also put vehicle attachments on it making it harder to kill or stronger overall. Its a great vehicle to use and moves fast.

Jets
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
There is 3 different types of jets but I dont see a difference in any of them. They are all fast moving jets that can maneuver really good. They have lots of attachments to use giving them lots of powers to kill things on the ground or air. Like they can have a Laser Guided missile to shoot tanks or quad bikes or have active radar and shoot jets down really fast. They all I guess turn different or slow down in a certain way so that you have a better advatage

LAV
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
These are the strongest vehicles on land in this game. They are over powered and can literally take out anything in site with a snap of a finger. They have way to much attachments making it really strong again and making it harder to kill. If your in it your guaranteed a lot of kills in it. The AA gun can take out air vehicles and people really fast if you have the right attachments on. I see these over powered like no other, get in them!

Transport Vehicles
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Well transport vehicles arent really made to kill things there made well to get you to your destination. You cant put any attachments on the vehicles what so ever and they have low health. One tank bullet can drop you dead or drop you all the way down to 9 percent on your vehicle. If you see anything intimidating get out of there fast or your gonna die. Have Fun!

Boats
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
So there is different types of boats to use in the game but the most common ones seen is the DV Boat. The DV boat cant be killed really unless your getting ganged up by multiple things. This has multiple things on it making it stronger in any possible way, even 3 C4 cant kill it. If your gonna use this and have active protection on have fun the whole game living and boosting your KD up. So over powered.

AH-6J Super Chopper Strategy (7/10)
For this strategy you will need
In this strategy the pilot of the AH-6J will select the Support Class with the ammo box and C4. Each man hanging on the side will choose the Engineer class with the Stinger and Repair Tool. If you have a 4th man it is advised that he/she uses the Assault Kit with a medic bag and M320. After taking off in the AH-6J land it somewhere where a random can not spawn in. The pilot and/or medic should place their ammo box and medic bag on the sides of the helicopter so the crew can resupply without setting down. During combat the two Engineers on the side will engage other helicopters as well as repair, earning 10k+ XP a game. The pilot will make sure the crew doesn't crash and keep control of the helicopter and fire on infantry. The medic can go AFK and sit there. With a two man repair crew the chopper can not physically be shot down by Stinger/IGLA fire, nor heatseekers, unless a 12 man team shoots at once. This strategy is a very good way to raise SPM as well as KD. The difficulty of executing this makes this strategy a 7/10

Main Battle Tank Quick Leveling (8/10)
For this strategy you will need
In this strategy you and a friend will take a MBT (Main Battle Tank). The driver should have the default AP Shell, Staff Shell, Reactive Armor, and Active Protection. The gunner should have zoom optics, and gunner incendiary. In order to be successful, you should not move into tight areas where a man with C4 could take you out, or really even into the fight. Use the tank more as a piece of artillery and find a high spot and hit targets that are moving. In case of enemy armor, the gunner should get out and repair while the driver eliminates the threat. In case of Air the driver should hop out and attack it with a stinger missile while the gunner shoots .50 Cal rounds at it. Remember to stay away from Infantry hot spots; ie: Objectives, Tight Urban Areas, Under accessible tall buildings. I have used this strategy a lot and is very effective for raising your SPM and KD while earning 10k-20k XP depending on your proficiency with the tank with very few deaths if you follow this guide. This earns this strategy and 8/10

Support Specialist Leveling (5/10)
For this strategy you will need
This strategy takes a lot of teamwork and planning. What you must do for it to work is travel to the enemy deployment in Obliteration and set C4 on all vehicles there as well as find out the spawn points of Infantry and watch them with a LMG. Make sure you call which vehicle you are placing C4 on, and pay attention for someone spawning in it. If one person messes up and the vehicle gets away it will come to get you and make you restart the process. Maps recommended for practicing this on is Shanghai, Zavod, and Paracel Storm only if you are on CN (China). This strategy earned a 5/10 because it is very easy for things to go wrong and takes an intermediate player to carry out, as well as you earn from 5k-10k XP a game.

- *C4 on the Support Kit

Sniper Rifle Leveling (6-9/10)
For this strategy you will need
In order to level up your sniper rifles fast you are going to need to first head to the server browser. When there search for a Hardcore Domination. In Hardcore mode sniper rifles are one shot, one kill. Once in, to be successful you need to find a secluded corner of the map where you can overwatch an area. Once there wait and watch for people spawning and running to cover. If you hit them they will not know where you were since the killcam is disabled in BF4. I give this strategy a 6 to 9-10 depending on the map, and your general accuracy. This strategy will bring in lots of rifle XP, but not as much player XP. I only used this strategy to unlock stuff for the recon kit as well as raise my SPM and KD when I didn't have a full squad.

DMR and Carbine TDM Leveling (8/10)
For this strategy you will need
This is by far the most simple way or ranking up weapons. All you need to do is select Hardcord TDM and equip a carbine or DMR. Sit in a defend able position that overwatches one of three spawn sectors on the map. Now just wait. I recommend using the ACW-R until you unlock the M4, which is by far the best rifle in the game in my opinion. For DMR's use the MK11 until you unlock the M39 EMR and the SCAR-H SV. Now even though you will rank up your weapons fast in this gamemode because you will receive 90% weapon XP, you will mover very slowly in rank. Overall you will receive anywhere from 2k-7k XP a game which is very little compared to Conquest vehicle strategies. The overall simplicity though makes this strategy get some high marks with a 8/10.

UCAV
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The good ole' UCAV. the UCAV is a player controlled missile that does lots of damage, similar to the TV guided missile. It is for the support load out, similar to the mortar too. The player sets it down on the ground goes on his little pad thing and launches it. Once launched it can be controlled in a different manner than other things would. This weapon or gadget can go up to 400 meters in range, every 10 seconds it travels about 40 meters. When it is out of the players range it takes quite a little time to get another one, about 20 seconds to refill on it. It is one of the harder gadgets to achieve unless you are amazing in jets.
SUAV
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The SUAV is a fun little machine to control. It is similar to the hunter killer drone in Black Ops 2 but just doesnt blow up or is a machine controlled thing, it is controlled by the player. This gadget is mainly used for scouting around the area, spotting things, and if you really wanna have fun try to hit people with it. It is for the Recon load out and only has 1 to use every life, however if there is a ammo kit is takes about 5-10 seconds to get another one. It travel 20 meters per second which is an insanely fast speed. These gadgets are fun to use and just all around cool.
Vehicles
Dirt Bike
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The developers have brought back the fan favorite Dirt Bike from Battlefield 3 into Battlefield 4! This vehicle is one of the fastest getaway vehicles in the game. It has a 95 km speed and has perfect maneuvering with the vehicle. This vehicle can easily be killed with one rocket and has no weapons attached to it, the second seat is the person who gets to use his weapons but there his personal weapons. You are perfectly seen and exposed to gun fire leaving you easy to get shot up and die quickly. This bike also has a boost on it. When players use the boost you will see a massive increase in speed making it easier to get out of there.
Bomber
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The bomber is a slow moving air craft vehicle used to do bomb runs. It has a main weapon and a secondary weapon. The main weapon is a User Targeted JDAM bomb, it launches 4 bullets but they can all be spread out through out the time in the vehicle. It takes around 13 seconds to reload the weapon and fire again. The secondary weapon is a cruise missile. The cruise missile is a bomb that when it instantly hits the ground a massive explosion will occur and can wipe out a whole battle between a team. It is an easy target to see in the sky and but it takes quite a bit of hits with missiles to actually destroy this vehicle. If you are getting locked on by multiple things the player has 30 IR Flares to use and it takes a little to get through them all. This vehicle isnt really for small maps it is mostly for large huge maps so you can destroy things and kill more people.

Weapons
F2000
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The F2000 is in almost every battlefield. In battlefield 4 most players were sadden not to see it appear in this one until now. The fire rate is faster than most assault rifles in the game, giving you a little advantage over some other players. It has similar damage and spreads like most other assault rifles in the game. It holds a 30 round capacity and has 4 mags with it. It takes about 5 seconds to reload the weapon so get in cover! It is only for the Assault load out unfortunately, but it is still very good. I would recommend this weapon to most people if there trying to get there KD or score per minute up
AS Val
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The AS-Val is an outstanding weapon overall in my opinion. It has a good fire rate, spreads good, does a decent amount of damage, good range, and an OK ammo capacity. This is a compact assault rifle and its only for the Engineer load out. The maximum range of this weapon is 200 meters giving it good range but you have to fire in bursts. I wouldnt recommend this weapon for long range because of the fire rate, it is extremely fast. It kicks up a decent amount and I would just say use it for close range. It holds 24 rounds in the weapon so when you kill one you might want to reload afterwards. I say this weapon is great, is amazing everywhere use it!
M60E4
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The M60 is a great light machine gun to use. It is only for the Support load out but its alright. This weapon is slow at firing but has great range and damage. It also takes for ever to reload, takes around 10 seconds to reload. But it also can hold up to 100-200 rounds in one mag. The range can go really far and has about the same damage as it would close up. When your close up and your having a close quarter combat fight you are most likely to win because of how strong this weapon is. I would say it is one of the better light machine guns in the game to use but not as good as other ones.
DAO-12
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The DAO-12 when you first unlock it you will notice that it looks like the striker from Mw2, well it pretty much is the same thing as that. It was in Battlefield 3 if I remember correctly and it was really good it is just like that in this game. It spreads like no other and can kill your enemies in 1-2 shots depending on how close you are. It has 36 rounds in all and is strong like no other. This is not a long range weapon, I would use it for close range maps only. It is much stronger than the other shotguns and I would recommend it to some people.
GOL Magnum
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The GOL Magnum is now the best sniper in the game. It is for the Recon load out and it is way better than all the snipers currently in the game. It has an amazing range and not so big of a drop. It holds 5 rounds in it and all the bullets do the same amount of damage. When in a closer range it takes about 1 shot to kill some one, but when 200 meters away maybe one to 2 shots to kill some one. It is a bolt action which it also makes it stronger than most other ones. I would DEFINITELY recommend this to most people best sniper in the game.
Vehicles
Desert Patrol Vehicle
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The Desert Patrol Vehicle is a perfect name for this vehicle. It is a light and fast vehicle to travel and get away. It has an attached grenade launcher to it but it cant make a 360 turn, it can only make about a 180 turn. Every one in the vehicle is exposed and can easily be shot and killed. It takes around 2-3 hit to kill this with a rocket launcher but yet you may die fast cause of no cover. There is a nice maneuver to this vehicle, fast and being able to turn good is always great. There is a little delay in between when trying to back up from anything. This vehicle you can easily kill people but you can also easily die.
Skid Loader
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Probably the Best vehicle in Battlefield ever to be made haha. It was in Battlefield 3 and they have brought it back to Battlefield 4 in this expansion pack. There is up to 3 seats in which this vehicle can hold, One in front, one in the back, and one driving you around. It only appears in Conquest I believe which is a downer and there is only one on every map so its not like both sides get one. You are easily exposed in all seats and this os probably the worst vehicle to actually try to stay alive in the whole match. I think this vehicle is fun to drive around in and try to survive, possibly the best vehicle.

Battlepacks
The all-new Battlepacks are bundles of content that can be earned and used in-game in Battlefield 4. Containing anything from Weapon Accessories to XP Boosts, Battlepacks bring more exciting treats alongside your Battlefield multiplayer progression. Battlepacks don't give anyone gameplay advantages, but instead let players tailor their Battlefield 4 experiences with more customization options.
What to Find In Battlepacks
The content of a Battlepack is a mix of items. Among them you could find knives, dog tags, soldier camouflages, weapon/vehicle paints, experience boosts, weapon accessories, or soldier portraits & emblems for Battlelog.
Item Rarity
The items you will find in the Battlepacks come in 4 different colors to indicate rarity: Standard (grey), Advanced (white), Superior (blue), & Distinguished (orange). Premium items are considered Distinguished items and are included in Battlefield 4 Premium. There are four kinds of Battlepacks: Bronze, Silver, & Gold as well as a Weapon Pack. A Bronze Pack will contain three items: two Standard ones, and one that has a chance of being Advanced. The quantity and rarity of the items increase in the Silver Packs and Gold Packs. A Weapon Pack is aimed specifically at the noted weapon and provides weapon accessories for that weapon.
How to Earn Battlepacks
Battlepacks are earned through your progression in multiplayer and are tied to both your rank-ups and your weapon progression. You will receive your first Bronze Battlepacks at rank 3, and new Battlepacks will be awarded at rank 5, 7, 10 and beyond. During weapon progression, you will begin earning new Weapon Packs after you've unlocked all previous accessories for a weapon.
Updates
I will be updating this daily with more information. If you would like to see something added I will try my best to add it. I have all updates planned out that I still need to do but till then here it is.
