How to Unlock the Barbed Baseball Bat in Battlefield 5 War in the Pacific
The fourth Battlefield 5 weekly challenge of War in the Pacific, the fifth Chapter of Tides of War, has arrived. This week, players have the chance to unlock a particularly brutal new melee weapon; a Barbed Baseball Bat! The objective nodes themselves matchmake to a new Grind playlist featuring pre-War in the Pacific maps like Rotterdam and Twisted Steel.
The 4th Battlefield 5 War in the Pacific Weekly Challenge: Inch by Inch
“A baseball bat can be a hefty weapon in itself,” says DICE, of the new Barbed Baseball Bat; “But if you wrap some barbed wire around it, it’ll be that much deadlier. Not a common weapon on the battlefield, but a useful one nonetheless”. To unlock this new weapon, you’ll need to complete Inch by Inch, the fourth War in the Pacific weekly challenge. This week, the objective nodes matchmake to a playlist which comprises Grind on the following maps: Devastation, Narvik, Operation Underground, Rotterdam, and Twisted Steel.
- Reaper (12,000 XP); First up this week is a simple objective that merely requires you to kill a total of 10 enemies. After completing this node, you have the option of following either of three forks. However, it’s worth noting that all of the nodes award Chapter XP upon completion. As such, it may be worth completing more nodes than necessary to unlock the bat.
- Deadly Treasures (12,000 XP); For this node, you’ll need to resupply your teammates’ ammo for a total of 1500 score using any sort of support gadget.
- Fire on Target (12,000 XP); This node requires you to either spot or kill a total of 35 enemies.
- Saviour (12,000 XP); To complete Saviour, you’ll need to revive or resupply your teammates a total of 40 times.
- Devastate (12,000 XP); For this simple objective, you must inflict a total of 4,000 damage by any means.
- Raiding Party (12,000 XP); You and your squadmates must either kill or down a total of 12 enemies using either bayonets or melee weapons to complete this node.
- A Good Egg in the Right Place (12,000 XP); While you only need to complete a single task for this objective, it may prove difficulty. You need to achieve a single multi-kill using explosives.
- No Quarter (25,000 XP); The final objective this week, No Quarter requires you to win a single round of Grind. However, it must not be on the Operation Underground map.
