Battlefield 4 Dog Tag Locations Guide
Dog Tags are a unique type of collectible in Battlefield 4 that are used for completing the achievement Recon (together with collecting weapons in the single player campaign) as well as customizing your character in multiplayer. Beside the dog tags you can find in the single player campaign there are many to be obtained and unlocked through special promotions (like the one beta testers got, or unique ones that players got through DICE’s promotions).
Battlefield 4 Premium subscribers get special dog tags to show off as well. You can pick two tags when customizing your soldier, one you unlocked through gameplay and one unique tag. In the screenshot guide bellow we will show you how to get all the dog tags in the Battlefield 4 (short) single player campaign.
Baku
- The first dog tag in Battlefield 4 single player campaign can be obtained just as you start the game. As you go through the school’s corridors there will be a door to your left (the first such door you come across). Once you open it you will see the dog tag pinned to the board on the wall.
As soon as the game starts you will enter this corridor

Nice Play Dog Tag - After you fight in the inner school yard (where you fight as a squad for the first time) your squad will drop down a hole – do not follow. There is a dog tag in the room and you need to carefuly jump over the hole and get it.
Your squad is down bellow, but across the hole in the floor is another dog tag. 
See? 
You want to carefully jump to the left. There is a little ledge there you can jump onto and cross over to where the tag is. 
“One way trip” - Final tag in Baku is at the very end of the level. There will be a helicopter crash. Before you enter a jeep next to a burning wreck of the helicopter you should go through the fire and pick up the tag in the pilot’s cabin.
