Tag Collector III

Acquire 2500 dog tags from the enemy

How to unlock the Tag Collector III achievement in Battle Islands - Definitive Guide

To get This Achievment you need to get the rank of 2500 DogTags. When starting the game your rank is at 1000.

You get around 8 to 14 DogTags by a 100% win against another player. Don't need to explain a tactic here just do what you think is best to win.

During the match you will receive stars for the following conditions:
First star for destroying the enemies HQ
Second star for destroying more than 50% of the enemies base
Third star for destroying 100% of the enemies base
The more stars you have the more DogTags you'll earn. As I said, you can get 8-14 DogTags per match, which will depend on your and your enemies current player level.

Important note: If you're not able to get even one star during the match and all your troops are dead or the time's up, the match ends and you will lose several DogTags.
As before, the number of Dog Tags you lose depends on your and your enemies current player level. To not lose your DogTags I advise you to keep one unit in the stock during the match (I used a Plain, cause I never used them in the battle). If you foresee that you have no chance winning the game with at least one star, hit the guide button before your units are dead (can't happen since one unit's still in the stock) or the time's up, then quit the game. After restarting the game everything's just like before you started the battle so you have another chance to maximize your DogTag rank.

MAJORPOOPY the problem is when you hit 2000 the units take longer to attack meaning you can't do it in big chunks

i used alot of normal soliders (rank 2) 2 Tanks (Rank 1) and 2 Warships (Rank 1). I always focused the big guns with the warships, so my soliders ran throuh the whole base without beeing shot by these splash cannons.

Like xONLY INHUMANx already said its a problem to find low level player to fight against as soon you reached 2000+ dog tags! Under the 2000 you will ALWAYS find player to attack even level 2 or 3 players... But once youve hit the 2000 dog tags it only shows you enemys at about level 9/10 you can attack.... I need to confirm this!

One more question to all of you.... WHAT have you all used most or what would you recommend to use!? Soldiers!? Tanks!? Planes or ships!? Somehow i cant decide which i should upgrade... Thx forward for any information ;-)

Kind Regards

you´ll allways find enemies around your dogtag rank. Sometimes it can happen that you´ll find some low level guys. But the player level is not the indicator that this guy is to heavy for your army. some have good defense and some have not. Just check the base, if it´s good try it, if your army is going to loose, quit the game and try again.

They go "out of range" of attack if the dog tag difference is 1000 or more between you and the defender.

It's BS because you get attacked WHEN YOU ARE ONLINE!!

I'm winning tags and losing them at the same time because when I attack I also get attacked...what kind of bullshit is that!?!?

To get this...you're gonna have to attack in big chunks. Like attack after attack. I went from 1300 to 2045 dog tags today and didn't get attacked one time.

it doesn't help when a level 40 beats you and takes 16 dog tags and when you 3 star someone you only get 10 the game is just way inconsistent with itself

I am on 2240 now and offer a deal... :) If you are over 1300/1400 you drop me a message, I tell you in which alliance I am, so you can search for me and attack me, you lose against me, once I get to 2500 and have the achievement, I pay it back to you with a loss that possibly will net you a lot more points than what you lose after attacking me.

What kinda sucks about this achievement is that your best bet for easy wins is finding other people trying to get it as well. Meaning once you are +2000 tags and mid to high lv. 20 something, your best gain are players around lv. 15 with 1300-1500 tags that have only rushed lv. 3 and 4's, neglecting to upgrade defenses on their base.

Plan accordingly, as at 2150 tags, my best gains are from defensive wins while I'm away. Earned 28 last night from people at lv. 39+ trying to attack.

If you already have 2.5mill supplies plundered focus on attacking people with 0-250 supplies. I've noticed they tend to have fewer mines (possibly attacked while offline and never rebuilt?) which make getting 2-3 stars much easier.

Guide should be updated, the backing out method has been patched. You can only get this by grinding out battles or finding another player to boost with by finding them in-game.

You would think this game would be dead, but I get attacked at least 2 times a day, so make sure you have a good defensive set-up. Sitting around 2100, I lose/win around 30 tags during defense. Attacking I get around 20-40 winning, losing it depends, I've lost anywhere from 10-62 tags. I'm at command bunker rank 7.

This guide is terribly outdated. I'm not sure any information in it is still correct.

FYI to new players you now start at 0 dog tags, not 1000. Makes this even more tedious. On the plus side you can get up to 45 dog tags from a single match. I just created a new game on my boosting tag and tested. Going to take hours just to get back to 1000, where you used to start.

I had the same problem after i passed 2000 dogtags but then i got hit by an level 49 player....and yea he almost kicked my ass :D but, he ALMOST only used "Rifleman" and alot of them he had around 6 "Fighters" and 4 "Heavy Gunboats"

My point is...you can build 76 "riflemen" (2 barrack) that will take you around 12m (the same with the fighters and heavy gunboats that means in 1h you can get 56 dogtags if you get 3 stars (14 dags in 1 battle) if not then 2 stars will get you 32 in one hour, it works (it works for me) and when i lose i lose 8 i can leve with that when i can earn that in no time...one last thing is i only get hit 2-3 times max every day so thats not that hard to earn what i lose

Is there any way to find a person on the list and give wins until the tags reach 2500?

For any poor soul desperately trying to get this shit achievement- maybe i can help. It took me over a year of semi-daily play :(

I had to build my base and defenses up until everything was nearly maxed out. You need an effective base that will usually win on defense. Choose an enemy base that you would find difficult to attack and try to copy its layout. This is all just so that you don't lose many tags while offline

At this stage I would typically be able to float just below 2000 tags. Many times any tags I gained in attacks just got stolen while I was offline (sleeping). I floated at this amount for the last 6 months or so, just while focusing on upgrading everything and developing my attack strategy.

The gear shifted when I realized I could very cost-effectively use the gold (I rarely used) on retraining my army for quicker attacks. You can train 24 riflemen, 5 heavy gunboats, 6 fighter planes, each with just 1 gold, do that a few more times to retrain your full force. Now instead of 20-30 minutes waiting for troops to train between attacks, it takes only a few minutes.

If you remain online you can't be attacked, and if you only attack bases you're sure you can destroy the command bunker, your tag count can only go up. It was a fairly tedious few evenings farming tags, but I finally got to 2500.
Good luck.

***Since the last update this is not working but...***
Alliance warfare is up and no good news for boosting sessions. Alliance wars don't give tags, only resources.


Hi,

This will help going after Tags by finding easier targets. I found a way to go after lower level targets possible and that will help you get at least to 2000 Tags very fast. After that point you will need a more careful digging to find targets, but still possible as I unlocked the achievement while my command bunker at level 6.

*** IMPORTANT***
When you get to 2000+ tags you will have to fight people of higher levels. You will get a lot of money for upgrades. But don't neglect building your defenses as you will also be targeted by high level players. So if you have your storage full don't attack another player until you spend your money. You will need it to upgrade. I bought the 3rd engineer (500 gold) to make upgrades faster. This is my defense setup (I actually unlocked the achievement when I got back and found 28 extra tags from defenses):

External image



Now for the Tags. I found that by going to battle I was only finding people with higher levels than me with some only a few levels lower. Then I decided to check if Alliances were any helpful. And in fact I found they are.

To find your low level target:
1 - Press cn_Y and the select "Alliance"
2 - Select "Leaderboard"
3 - Scroll down to find a good alliance to go after, the lower the score easier to find a good target
4 - Press cn_X to see people inside the alliance
5 - Scroll down to find someone with a low level, I recommend level 2, 3 and 4 until you get to 2000 tags. Then find the lowest possible.
6 - The person should be available to fight, there will be an option to press cn_A and start the attack
7 - if you don't like what you see you have a few seconds before the battle start to press cn_Y and retreat without being penalized
8 - Low levels are pretty defenseless, use only a few troops to get 100%
9 - Rebuild your army, and while it rebuilds you can search for another target. You probably still have enough troops to make an easy 100% again
10 - If you keep attacking only low levels you will probably have your army rebuilt very fast.
11 - Just keep the flow.



Please comment to improve the solution as I find it'll really help getting this
(only problem is that if many people use it it will be more difficult to find targets, but I believe there are sufficient out there)

This is what I've been doing too. Was going to post this strategy but it seems you've beaten me to it. This is the easiest (if not the quickest) way to do this that I've found.

Important is also that you are not in an Ally. So you Have the "Nobb" allys on the Alliance screen who are not in the Top 100. (or was it 50?) It is the Screen where you can join or make a Alliance.

Also a Info for Attacks. You Just can attack enemys with 1000+ or 1000- Dog Tags and also between. All the others are out of Range.

Sorry for my english i did my really best. :D

Every time you win an attack on someone, you acquire dog tags. The lowest amount is usually around 7, with a full 100% win getting you around 14. As such, getting to 2500 is ridiculously long and arduous. Getting a boosting partner is much easier, which I have outlined in the walkthrough above. The achievement is cumulative though, so if you gain 400 tags and then lose 100, you still count as gaining 400 overall. You don't need 2500 at one time.
