In this guide I'll show you how I got the hardest multiplayer achievements and assignments from China Rising, Dragon's Teeth and Final Stand. along with the most useful tips I've learnt along the way, but you can also use them to get any other assignment since the principles are the same.

I won't focus on easy achievements, as they're pretty self-explanatory and at most may just require a tutorial video on YouTube.

I'll especially focus on the hardest assignments from China Rising, Dragon's Teeth, and Final Stand since they're requirements to respectively get the "New Superpower", "Street Fighter" and "King in the North" achievements.

Here's what you'll find:

1. A list of the best servers for completing assignments
   
2. How to find players willing to help you on these servers
   
3. How to perform advanced server searches on Battlelog to find specific game modes, maps and rule sets
   
4. How to easily complete the "Frostbite" assignment using server commands to your advantage
   
5. How to complete some assignments on your own
   
6. How to easily track assignment requirements
   
7. Common errors you might encounter whilst playing BF4 in 2025 and their solutions

If you have already completed the game on the EA Launcher, the achievements you've earned will automatically unlock on Steam after opening the game for the first time — as any other EA game.

Those who are veterans of the Battlefield franchise probably used Battlelog a lot back in 2011 when Battlefield 3 was launched, since it was the only way to browse servers and join them.

Even though Battlefield 4 has an in-game server browser (and I agree it's way more practical than constantly checking a website in your browser between matches), Battlelog is still the most complete and useful way to search for servers and track your stats.

You can access Battlelog by clicking on this link [battlelog.battlefield.com] and logging in with your EA Account, or you can just type it into Google and click on the first link that appears.




Basic (although very important) filters like maps, game modes and regions are found whether you're searching for servers through Battlelog or in-game. They're very useful, especially when you have to play on a specific map or on any map from a specific DLC, like you'll have to do for the Golden DLC assignments—especially for "City Slicker", which requires you to get 100 kills on any Dragon's Teeth map.

Just be aware that the servers you favourite on Battlelog don't show up in your in-game Favourites tab, so it's normal not to find them there.



The biggest advantages of using Battlelog over the in-game menus are:

1. You can track up to three assignments through Battlelog, then check their requirements and your progress in-game during a match by pressing Backspace.
   
2. Battlelog provides a more colourful, visual, and organised interface for checking stats, browsing servers, viewing map rotations, tracking assignment progress, and more. Selecting all maps from a specific DLC is considerably faster via Battlelog.
   
3. Joining friends in matches is far easier through Battlelog than in-game, where the feature is notoriously buggy and often requires someone to create a squad first.
   You can also join Battlelog friends mid-match by pressing Backspace.

Here's an example of in-game assignment tracking using the Battlelog shortcut (Backspace):

⚠️IMPORTANT: I recommend reaching level 20 before attempting any of the assignments, as some of them only become available after reaching level 10, and others only after level 20. Anything you do before reaching the required minimum level won’t count towards the assignment.

I recommend completing all the assignments that don’t specifically require you to play on a China Rising map — for example, those that involve earning Assault Rifle, Sniper, or LMG ribbons — on a Dragon’s Teeth map instead.

This is because, for the Dragon’s Teeth gold assignment (“City Slicker”), you’ll need to get 100 kills across any Dragon’s Teeth maps. Those kills can all be on a single map, spread across a few, or even all of them — it doesn’t matter. It’s an efficient way to save time while progressing through multiple assignments simultaneously. The same advice applies to the other DLCs as well.



You'll need a total of 16 Bomber kills, 3 Bomber Delivery Ribbons (earned by getting 3 Bomber kills in a single round), and one enemy Bomber destroyed—these are all requirements for the Safe Raiding, Mother of All Bombs, and I'm Dynamite assignments.

You can access the Bomber at Air Raid Bunkers on Conquest (usually at flag C) or Conquest Large (flag D) on most China Rising and Final Stand maps, such as Dragon Pass, Silk Road, and Giants of Karelia.

Any assignment-focused server running one of these maps will work, though normal servers are also viable—just more challenging since players are actively competing.

I completed this on a Silk Road Conquest-only server where everyone focuses on assignments, creating a cooperative environment where helping others ensures you'll receive help in return.


Here's an example of an Air Raid Bunker in Silk Road:





Since you can complete it on any map after unlocking the UCAV (by finishing the “Eyes in the Sky” assignment — play one round of Air Superiority and earn three Jet Fighter Ribbons in any map or game mode), I suggest doing this one on a Dragon’s Teeth map to add some kills towards “City Slicker”.

The UCAV is a remotely controlled aerial explosive, and it’s quite tricky to handle. The most effective way to get 20 kills with it is as follows:

• Ask an enemy player to stand with their back against a wall or any solid surface.
  
• Deploy the UCAV right in front of them, at their feet.
  
• The UCAV will kill the enemy instantly as it launches.
  
• You’ll likely be killed by the explosion as well, so do this near a spawn beacon, a captured flag, or a squadmate.

If you prefer to do it properly in-game, deploy the UCAV some distance away from your target, ideally in a straight line towards them.

As I mentioned before, you can complete this one on any server and any map. However, if you take my advice and do it on a Dragon’s Teeth map, I recommend these two servers. You can also complete Chain Link–related assignments on them.




For this one, you'll have to spend 10 hours playing across any China Rising map —it's as simple as it sounds, but you can't stay idle for too long on most servers, since they'll probably kick you for that. Don't worry though —if you get kicked because of that, your time spent in that match will still count normally.

I did it across these three servers:


Although the first server doesn't have an idle kick-out, it requires 4 players to start a match, so I recommend joining it only when there are at least 4 other players on it. The second server starts the match with just one player, so you can join at any time, but it'll kick you out after a while if you stay inactive. To avoid that, just make a small movement with your mouse every now and then.

⚠️IMPORTANT: I recommend reaching level 20 before attempting any of the assignments, as some of them only become available after reaching level 10, and others only after level 20. Anything you do before reaching the required minimum level won’t count towards the assignment.

Dragon's Teeth assignments are the easiest of the three DLC sets —only one might test your patience.

⚠️IMPORTANT: Always verify whether the assignment you're pursuing has prerequisites. If you haven't completed the required preceding assignment, any progress towards the subsequent one won't be tracked.

For all Chain Link-related assignments, I recommend using these three servers:

1. Get 10 Kills Whilst Under 30 Health
   
   Stand still facing a wall and throw a V40 Mini at your feet —this reduces your health from 100 to 20. Then secure a kill. Use one of the listed assignment servers and ask for assistance if needed.
   
   
2. Break 30 Enemy Links in Chain Link
   
   When enemies hold consecutive flags (A-B or C-D, but not A-C as they're not linked), capture one flag to break the link. Coordinate with a friend: have them capture two flags, then alternate capturing and recapturing them 30 times.
   
   
3. Win a Chain Link Round with 50 Points Remaining
   
   This is by far the trickiest, requiring solid teamwork —one troll can derail everything. Complete this on one of the recommended servers with at least one friend (more is better).
   Strategy:
   
   
   • Have your friend (on the enemy team) capture all flags and establish maximum linkage —this rapidly drains your team's tickets.
     
   • At half tickets remaining (e.g., 400 of 800, considering you're in a 30Hz match), capture half the flags.
     
   • Around 80 tickets, capture all flags and establish maximum linkage.
     
   • When enemies hit zero, you should have roughly 50 tickets. If above 50, repeatedly deploy/redeploy to burn tickets, or have your friend kill you.

Multitasking tip: If completing other assignments simultaneously, maintain flag balance (50/50 split) whilst farming kills and ribbons. Around 60 tickets, start capturing all flags—by the time you've secured them all, you'll likely be just under 50 tickets.


As mentioned earlier, I recommend completing all general assignment requirements (those not tied to specific maps or DLCs) whilst playing on Dragon's Teeth maps —this approach saves considerable time and effort when you eventually tackle "City Slicker".

To accumulate the remaining playtime hours, simply stay idle in any Dragon's Teeth match. For this, I recommend using the same four servers listed in the Chain Link Hardest Requirements section above.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: I recommend reaching level 20 before attempting any assignments, as some only become available after reaching level 10, and others only after level 20. Anything you do before reaching the required minimum level won't count towards the assignment.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always verify whether the assignment you're pursuing has prerequisites. If you haven't completed the required preceding assignment, any progress towards the subsequent one won't be tracked.


Battle Pickups are weapons marked with a handgun icon on your minimap whilst playing. You can pick them up at some specific points on a map —it doesn't matter which class you're playing as.

Final Stand has two different pickup weapons: the Rorsch Mk-1 and the XD-1 Accipiter; two vehicles: the HT-95 Levkov and the Pod Launcher; and one stationary weapon: the Shipunov 42. All of them are found only on Final Stand maps.

Basically, all the Final Stand assignments require you to get a specific number of kills, vehicles destroyed, or minutes spent with these exclusive weapons/vehicles.

You'll also unlock the achievement "Has Science Gone Too Far?" after getting a kill with each of them.

• Rorsch Mk-1
  
  You can easily find this weapon across all Final Stand maps. You can check its location on each map by watching this YouTube video:
  
  Video link in case it doesn't play from here
  
  
  The most useful tip I can give you is that the T-UGS (Tactical Unattended Ground Sensor) is counted as a vehicle when you destroy it with the Rorsch Mk-1. This will be very useful for destroying 10 vehicles with the Rorsch Mk-1, which is a requirement for an assignment.
  
  Ask a friend to play as Recon and place the T-UGS on the ground. Afterwards, ask them to lay down right on top of the T-UGS, with it in the same position as their head. You'll get the kill and destroy the T-UGS at the same time.
  
  
• XD-1 Accipiter
  As with the Rorsch Mk-1, you can easily find it on any Final Stand map. You can check its location on each map by watching the video I've linked above on YouTube.
  
  For the XD-1, it's as simple as it sounds —just get 30 kills with it. The only basic information I can give you is that the XD-1 has a battery level and will explode when it reaches zero. After exploding, it takes around 40 seconds to respawn at the same place you picked it up before. Some maps have more than just one XD-1 available, like Hammerhead.
  
  
• HT-95 Levkov
  
  The HT-95 Levkov is found only on 2 maps: Hammerhead and Operation Whiteout. On both maps, it appears after you capture the D or C flag (respectively for each map).
  
  To destroy 15 vehicles faster (which doesn't even make much difference because you'll have to stay in it for 10 minutes anyway), ask your friends to always spawn in a vehicle that's easy to destroy, like a snowmobile.
  
  You can also check its location in the YouTube video above.
  
  
• Pod Launcher
  
  The Pod Launcher is available only in Hangar 21 at the F flag, on a one-storey building rooftop. You just have to spend a total of 5 minutes in it. To do this, just get in and launch it with maximum power at a perpendicular (90°) angle to the ground several times until you reach the 5-minute mark.
  
  
• Shipunov 42
  
  I haven't found a video showing the Shipunov 42 location, but you can find it on the C flag in Hangar 21, Giants of Karelia, and Operation Whiteout.
  Simply get 25 kills with it and you'll be done.

If all these servers aren't enough for you or aren't exactly what you need, take a look at the other servers in the overall list section.



This is by far the hardest assignment, but it can also be one of the easiest if you follow my tips.

There are only two ways I've found to complete this as quickly as possible:

1. Get a few more points than the enemy team and use server commands to vote for your next desired map (!votemap) and then skip to the next round (!nextround) —it will give an instant win to the team with the most tickets.
   
   You can search through the server list I gave you above and check if at least one of those servers allows server commands. You can test this by typing any command, or by just typing !rules.
   
   Before spamming !votemap then !nextround in the chat, ask if it's okay with everyone on the server, as they may kick you if you do it without their consent. You can also try when the server is empty, since on some servers you can vote several times and they'll be counted as different people voting.
   
   
2. You can rent your own server (or get lucky and be friends with a server owner or admin) and give yourself instant wins.
   
   As I've also mentioned before, you can rent a 10-player server from 4netplayers for just one month and complete all your desired achievements and assignments without bothering with other people.

"Death From Below" is the only Naval Strike assignment required for 100% achievement completion.

It's needed because the "Fly Swatter" achievement requires you to destroy an enemy air vehicle using the AA Mine.

Alternatively, you can obtain this by killing an enemy who has the AA Mine equipped, then using it yourself —the achievement only requires destroying an air vehicle with the AA Mine, not completing the full assignment.

This assignment is straightforward and can be completed on assignment-dedicated servers or during normal matches.

"Won Them All" is an achievement requiring you to win a full match (not just a single round) in every base-game mode.

You don't need to worry about DLC modes like Chain Link, Air Superiority, Gun Master, or Capture the Flag.

Whilst this isn't an assignment or a requirement for any other achievement, it's relatively challenging to obtain, so I've compiled some helpful servers and tips below.

⚠️IMPORTANT: Sometimes you don't need to find a server running the game mode you're looking for —just try typing !gamemode on a server that allows commands and check if it has the desired game mode, especially the hardest ones to find like Obliteration, Defuse, and Squad Deathmatch.

The base-game modes you need to win are:

Even though it's a good game, BF4 has always been known to be very buggy at times, especially on the PC, so here I'll show you the most common problems you'll probably encounter and how to fix them.

1. Being Kicked by PunkBuster
   
   PunkBuster is the anti-cheat used in BF3, BF4, BFH, and in some Ubisoft games like Far Cry 3. This error may or may not occur when you first install the game, especially if you've never played any other multiplayer game that requires PunkBuster.
   
   To solve it, just go to the PB Setup section on PunkBuster's website[www.evenbalance.com], select the option that matches your OS, and then install it normally.
   
   
2. The Game Won't Open
   
   This has happened twice to me, and both times the problem was that the EA App needed to be updated before opening the game. To solve it, just open the EA App and then click on the yellow top bar that appears saying that you need to update it.
   
   
3. Can't Join a Friend
   
   Sometimes you'll try to join a friend by clicking on their in-game profile's icon in the top right corner of the screen, and the game will say that your friend didn't create a squad, or it'll ask you to create a squad before inviting a friend. This isn't an error in itself, but just an annoying requirement that the game imposes on you.
   
   To avoid this and just join your friends straightaway, try to join them by clicking on their profile on Battlelog or by pressing Backspace and clicking on the Friends tab if you 're in an ongoing match.
   
   
4. Battlelog Isn't Responding or It Says the Game Is Still Open Even When It Isn't
   
   If this happens, just open your Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Delete on Windows) and click "End Task" on the BF4 icon or on the EA App icon**. Then just open them again normally.

1. Always check if the server has commands like !votemap, !gamemode, !nextround and !kick —they're very useful in some cases.
   
2. You can also rent your own server and set the desired map, game mode, and give yourself instant wins. I'd suggest 4netplayers for server renting since they're the most common provider for BF3 and BF4 and have rarely had any issues with problems or instability, at least in my experience.
   
3. Some of the servers I've listed below could have their names changed or even be deactivated by the time you're reading this. In the same way, some new useful servers could have appeared. If this happens, just try to search for similar servers using the parameters I've shown you on Battlelog. I'll also try to update this list regularly.
   
4. Even showing that 4 players are required to start a match on the server's info page, some of them actually start with just one player, the only way to know for sure is joining the server.

I spent several hours creating this guide and gathering all the relevant information to help the best I could anyone who's trying to complete this game.
