Cheats & Secrets - Battlefield V

Cheats & Secrets for Battlefield V

No Traditional Cheat Codes

Battlefield V, like most modern multiplayer-focused games, does not include any traditional cheat codes, console commands, or unlock codes that can be entered into the game to gain unfair advantages. DICE has not included any developer cheats like invincibility, infinite ammo, or level skip commands. All progression must be earned through gameplay.

However, the game contains numerous Easter eggs, hidden features, and developer-intended secrets hidden across its maps and menus. These are harmless, often require teamwork or exploration, and reward players with cosmetic items, sound cues, or humorous reveals.

Known Easter Eggs and Hidden Secrets

#### 1. The Giant Shark (Panzerstorm Map)

Location: Panzerstorm (Grand Operations or Conquest).

Trigger: Find and shoot the red fuel barrel near the windmill at the edge of the map (coordinates roughly D7 on the minimap). This causes a hidden door to open underneath the windmill, leading to a secret underground room containing a cardboard cutout of a shark. Interacting with the shark triggers a loud roar and the unlock of the “Mighty Roar” dog tag (if earned during the Tides of War event).

Note: This Easter egg was part of a limited-time Tides of War challenge but can still be activated; however, the dog tag may no longer unlock.

Location: Mercury (Greek island map).

Trigger: Near the cave system on the eastern side of the map, there is a hidden golden krolik (rabbit) statue. You must shoot it in a specific order (left ear, right ear, tail) to open a secret cave entrance. Inside, you’ll find a hidden weapon skin or a easter egg room with a gramophone playing a funny song.

Reward: The “Krolik” dog tag (if earned during the limited-time event). The statue respawns each round.

Location: Fjell 652 (mountain map).

Trigger: Climb to the highest peak of the mountain (northeast sector). At the top, next to a broken antenna, there is a small yeti plushie. Approach and press the interact key to make a yeti roar sound. No permanent unlock, but a fun secret.

Location: Rotterdam (in a building near the central bridge, second floor).

Trigger: Find the piano and play a specific sequence of keys (notes: C, D, E, F, G, A, B). This causes a secret door to open in the same room, revealing a hidden room with a painting of a cat and a parachute. The painting can be shot to reveal a secret message.

Reward: No item, but a cosmetic “Cat” player card background (if earned during the event).

Location: Twisted Steel (the massive bridge).

Trigger: At the northern end of the bridge, there is a hidden lever behind a crate. Pulling it activates a hidden cannon that fires a giant soccer ball (football) across the map. This is purely visual and does not damage players.

Location: Devastation (cathedral ruins).

Trigger: In the bell tower, there is a hidden room accessible by destroying a specific wall. Inside, you’ll find a “Spectre” soldier mannequin wearing a gas mask. Interacting with it triggers a spooky whisper sound effect.

“The Rat”: On the Narvik map, find a hidden rat in a sewer and follow it to a dead end. Interact to get the tag (no longer awarded).

“The Wolf”: On the Arras map, find a wolf statue in a barn and howl by shooting it three times.

Location: Any map with a gramophone (e.g., Rotterdam, Narvik).

Trigger: Approach a gramophone and interact to change the music. Some rooms contain multiple gramophones that can be synchronized to play a hidden song.

Location: Hamada (desert map).

Trigger: In the large cave system (center-south), there is a hidden skeleton of a T-Rex dinosaur. Shoot it to make it roar. No reward.

Developer-Intended Hidden Features

Availability: Not an in-game feature, but DICE released official developer tools for creating machinima. These are separate from the game and not accessible during normal play.

How to access: Requires a separate download from EA’s developer portal (no longer officially supported). Not considered a cheat.

#### 2. “The Battlefield V Beta Commando” (Easter Egg Uniform)
During the open beta, players who completed a specific challenge (spotting a hidden V-1 rocket on the map) unlocked a special “Commando” uniform. This item is now unobtainable but remains in the game files.

#### 3. Hidden Weapon Skins (No Longer Obtainable)
Several weapon skins were tied to timed Easter eggs, like the “Mint” skin for the M1 Garand (found by shooting a specific window on the Rotterdam map). All are legacy content.

Exploits and Glitches (Not Recommended)

While not intended secrets, some players have discovered exploits like out-of-map glitches, under-map hiding spots, or wall breaches. These are considered bugs and are patched over time. Using them can result in bans. This guide does not condone or list exploits.

Conclusion

Battlefield V contains no cheat codes or developer commands that allow players to gain an unfair advantage. Instead, its secrets are all about exploration, teamwork, and fun. Most Easter eggs are still active in the game as of the last update (2020). While some rewards are no longer obtainable due to the end of live service, the secrets themselves remain intact. Enjoy hunting them!
