They are small, well hidden, but essential for unlocking achievements and exclusive content. Here’s the ultimate guide to finding all the dog tags in the Battlefield 6 campaign.
In Battlefield 6the single-player campaign offers more than just a series of explosive missions. For the most meticulous players, each level contains identity platessmall collectible objects scattered throughout the settings. More than just a trophy, these Dog Tags allow you to unlock cosmetic items and validate several specific successes.
But be careful: with their discreet brilliance and their sometimes eccentric position, it is very easy to miss them, especially during a first game. Here’s everything you need to know to never miss a single one again.
How to spot identity tags more easily?
Before diving into the mission-by-mission guide, a few tips can make all the difference. The first tip: lower the difficulty level. This will allow you to focus on exploring, without fearing for your survival at every corner.
Another crucial point: take off your night vision goggles in dark sequences. The metallic reflection of the plates then becomes much more visible. Finally, know that plates are often positioned near the main objectives or in recognizable places: radio stations, weapons crates, abandoned vehicles, defense points… Nothing is left to chance.
Each mission contains between 2 and 4 platesand they’re all listed in the pause menu, allowing you to see which ones you missed and relaunch the corresponding sections.

Why these collectibles are definitely worth checking out
In a military FPS as fast-paced as Battlefield 6, you might think that collecting Dog Tags is secondary. However, these items have real value: they demonstrate the attention to detail paid by the developers and offer real replayability.
Some players even use these collectibles to pace their explorationor to set additional objectives during a second game. Others like to photograph them or document their locations to help the community.
But beyond the successes and the rewards, there is a very simple satisfaction: that of having seen everything, searched everything, completed everything. And in a game where each mission tells a story, these little plaques are like memory markers, discreet but precious.
