In the latest expansion of Battlefield 1 Apocalypse, new dog tags were introduced. Some of the requirements are ridiculously hard.
The Apocalypse expansion is the last DLC that the developers had planned for Battlefield 1. In addition to new weapons and maps, it unlocked dog tags in the game, the requirements for which are sometimes extremely challenging. These challenges are either designed for professionals or for players with particularly good luck.
Destroy a huge behemoth with the smallest pistol?!
For the most part, the requirements for the unlockable dog tags are manageable. They are hard, but doable. Most of them relate to the new Affliction system that was activated with the DLC. These afflictions intentionally make the game harder for players so they have new challenges.
The Looming War Dog Tag requires you to get 50 melee kills while the Peacock Affliction is active. The Peacock Affliction ensures that you remain marked until death if an opponent spots you once. Other afflictions make you lose 200 points with every death or decrease your health points per second.
These challenges are hard, but solvable with a bit of effort.
Each of the dog tags has six challenges. Many have one that seems impossible. The aforementioned Looming War Dog Tag also asks you to achieve 25 kills with the melee weapon Dud Club without dying. Kills with melee weapons are generally risky. Not dying while doing so requires a lot of skill and luck.
But that’s not all: It gets even crazier. The Creeping Death tag wants you to destroy a behemoth with the Kolibri pistol. Yes, the huge behemoth that can appear as a zeppelin, airship, or battleship, and yes, the Kolibri, which is slightly smaller than a pack of cigarettes.
And then there’s the Withering Famine Dog Tag, which crowns all the challenges. One of the challenges wants you to destroy an airplane with tripwire. Just let that sink in: You are to destroy an airplane with a bomb that is on the ground and waiting to be triggered by stumbling players.
However, you are not forced to complete these crazy challenges to unlock a dog tag. It is sufficient to complete five of the six tasks per dog tag. This way, you can ignore the really crazy challenges. On Reddit, user ahrhamza shared this overview of the dog tags and afflictions from the Apocalypse DLC of Battlefield 1:
Successful Role Models
How to destroy a behemoth with the Kolibri is shown by YouTuber Ravic in this video. With a few anti-tank bombs and the small Kolibri as a trigger, you can also bring a behemoth to its knees. Technically, the kill probably counts for the Kolibri:
And it seems possible to destroy an airplane with tripwire as well.
This shows that even the most difficult requirements of the dog tags can be solved at least “somehow”.
