Re: Final stand dog tags can't pick them up after opening box

Happened to me twice in a row. (Stroke of luck) Changed knife after the first time from C100 to bayonet and I still can't pick it up. Am I missing something? I have all the other previous phantom assigments done.

Edit: "Solution". I reset everything. BF4 game data deleted and reinstalled along wirh downloading DLC again. Finally worked. Able to pick one up after giving every one I found away.

  • Some people reported that their boxes were empty when they smashed them, but it was still listed as "unconfirmed" in Reddit thread about it (regarding it being intentional or not). If it's an intentional move, then it sucks big time. It seems that you hit an incredible stroke of bad luck... can't really explain it better. Too many things are still unconfirmed about Phantom.

    Just happened again. 3rd time I've changed to different knife. I don't know why. Was with a friend and I let him pick it up after I opened box because I couldn't.

    I know what you mean.  It's happened 7 times to me.  Each time I see the tags lying there but get no prompt to ineract.

  • Well, that's darn weird. I'll search through Phantom-related information later today, maybe I'll find something out.

    Ok, this is weird. I was looking through my dogtags and was able to equip a phantom dogtag. I don't how this is possible as I wasn't able to pick up them. It's an Operation Whiteout one. I remember the box. Knifed it. Couldn't pick it up. Gave it to a friend. Now I have a tag.
  • Well, this is odd. I know that for some people tags didn't appear as they glitched into the ground, but they still could be picked up. However, you should still get a message. That's really getting weirder in a hurry. So far I haven't found any kind of reason why these issues may happen.

    Ok, so I also have a Hanger 21 tag even though I've never seen a box with my own eyes on this map.

    Also I couldn't pick my papers for assignment in Bow room similar to when I couldn't pickup dogtags.

    Is your solution going to get rid of profile data like weapons and rank?
  • Well, I can't recall any fix that would remove rank/weapon progress data (and reinstalling the game or DLC SURELY will not affect it), so everthing should be fine.

    It will only delete your single player saved game file I think.(I've completed it so I don't need it anyway). All multilayer data is online. You don't loose ranks/weapon unlocks etc. It's only a little bit annoying though because you have to redo your loadouts and in game settings.
