A new patch for Battlefield 5 has recently been released, driving players crazy: A new mystery has been found that players are currently grappling with. They are building stairs to the sky on the practice ground. However, they do not yet know what this means.
What are these stairs? After Patch 4.0: Defying the Odds, which was deployed to the Battlefield 5 servers a few days ago, players have discovered a strange Easter egg. In this mystery, players are building stairs upwards.
The Easter egg was discovered on the practice ground. Players can build stairs at various locations that spiral higher above the map. At various points, players receive cryptic messages displayed.
A timer starts running at the top of the screen, and the current height of the stairs is also displayed.
Recently, hints were found indicating dinosaurs in Battlefield 5.
How can you build yourself? Gather with three friends at the practice ground. There are bronze plates at various locations that need to be activated in order for the mystery to appear. Your friends and you should occupy different plates.
“Challenge accepted” will be displayed to you, and then you can start building. With your building tool, you can now start constructing stairs. They go higher and higher, but some stairs lead to a dead end or back to where you came from.
You need to hurry because the stairs do not last forever. After a while, they disappear, so it’s best if all four players build simultaneously. Once you’ve reached a certain height, airplanes will also make your life difficult by firing rockets at your constructions.
What does this mean? What this mystery is pointing to or whether it is just a funny mini-game is still unknown. However, some players speculate that it is a puzzle that the community should solve together. At certain heights, players receive strange messages displayed, such as “Knowledge is Power” or “By the Skin of our Teeth”.
Additionally, headphones can be found at a height, with which players can receive a code at a morse station. But here too, players are still at a standstill.
This type of riddle is already known in the Battlefield games. Players often find small hints in game modes and maps that point to a larger puzzle. In recent years, data related to trailers or game presentations has been hidden this way.
The patch also added this joke weapon to Battlefield 5:
