In order to unlock the Broken Bottle (and hence get a single kill with it) you'll need 5 kills with single use wine bottles that can be picked up during a round on the three new infantry focused Apocalypse maps. These wine bottles DO NOT respawn after they have been picked up and switching weapons will force you to drop the wine bottle and you'll lose it.

EDIT: Using class based gadgets also causes you to lose the bottle.

EDIT: The wine bottle has an incredibly generous hit box so don't be afraid to swing for someone if you're slightly farther away than standard melee range. The bottle will kill in one swing so go nuts with it.

After combing the maps in a private server I've got a few screenshots (click on the imgur links beneath them if you want to enlarge them) to help you more accurately pinpoint where the wine bottles spawn. This is by no means a comprehensive list (I've almost certainly missed more than a few), and if you happen to come across any more please let me know so I can update this guide.

(Also, a quick side note. The wine bottles appear to suffer from really bad pop in so they won't actually appear until you get close to where they are).

Caporetto

I've managed to locate 6 bottles on Caporetto so far, so this map might be the most ideal for getting kills.

Near Flag A: Down the hill from where the Liven's Projector is located you'll find a trench with a fire/torch in it. The wine bottle is sitting on the ground in the area near the fire.

Near Flag B: This one is sitting beneath a bench with a gramophone placed next to it.

Flag B: Sitting on a wall in the immediate vicinity of the Liven's Projector.

Flag C: Next to the bridge, slightly embedded in the ground.

Flag D: On a wall near the detonator for the Liven's Projector.

Between Flag D/E: This one is sitting on the back of the train atop the viaduct.

Passchendaele

Passchendaele has probably got more bottles hiding, but due to the colour palette of the map they blend in very well. I've managed to locate 4 so far.

Near A Flag: As you make your way out of the church into the trenches in the direction of Flag C you'll find the wine bottle sitting off to one side.

https://imgur.com/mmKRzo5

Flag B: In the open trench area outside the bunker.

https://imgur.com/omAuyBW

Near Flag C: This one is a little bit tricky and hard to see. From Flag C in the direction of Flag A you'll find a small enclosed area. The bottle is sitting on the ground.

https://imgur.com/x7OrcUH

Near Flag D: Looking from Flag D towards Flag E and the German Empire spawn you'll see two destroyed bunkers. The one on the left houses the wine bottle on the floor.

River Somme

So far I've managed to locate 5 bottles on River Somme. They are all fairy evenly distributed across the map.

Flag A: In the barn in a corner on the ground floor.

https://imgur.com/MC7bpJy

Flag B: In the windmill on the ground floor.

https://imgur.com/kuskWoZ

Flag C: In the house next to some rags on the floor.

https://imgur.com/ooBedI9

Flag E: In the sugar mill ruins at the base of the machine with the ladder on it.

https://imgur.com/otgeSaa

Near Flag F: Across the train tracks, in the direction of Flag D, in a dug out with a German Empire flag hanging from it.

https://imgur.com/LRBYYsL

As I've said before, there are probably more bottles out there that I've missed. If I have, please let me know so I can add them to this list.

Great guide!

Just an edit to say, don't put down any ammo as support as it glitches your character out and the bottle disappears. Don't know about medic or assault if the same happens

By SanTheMightiest on 21 Feb 2018 19:27

The guide would be so much better, if you actually hosted your pictures on a different site like Imgur, because hotlinking directly from Xbox sucks. Can't open the picture in a New Browser Tab, because it always makes you download the picture, which ends up with shitty dimensions (754x424 pixels).

By AkaiERA on 21 Feb 2018 19:50

Done! Added a link to imgur for each of the images.

By Smashsoul on 21 Feb 2018 20:28

Awesome. Thank you.

By AkaiERA on 21 Feb 2018 23:33

Great guide. Thanks

Still not seen a bottle yet

By GavInxs on 21 Feb 2018 23:49

Excellent work.

@ GavInxs. I’ve only found two and used a gadget so I dropped one lol. Luckily I got a kill with the second one I picked up. This was in like 4 hours of looking on Conquest so don’t feel bad!

By Thai J on 22 Feb 2018 00:14

Awesome job with the pics in your guide! Thx. This guide will surely help me net all the "chevos", again.

By PokerNick on 22 Feb 2018 17:52

@Deschain019 Doesn't have to be in the same game or round. It would actually be nearly impossible, since the bottles are a one time use and don't respawn.

By AkaiERA on 22 Feb 2018 19:05

Thanks for the help, only 1 kill so far. Awful achievement, running around trying to smash a flippin bottle over somebody's bonce.

By StrayBullet2033 on 22 Feb 2018 20:43

First bottle kill was on a flame trooper. 2 birds :D

There a spot to track this? I don't see it in the melee weapons

By Fuzzmeister J on 25 Feb 2018 14:21

Hi

I did it 5 times, but I did not get the achievement. When I used the last glass, I got a broken glass logo in the game but not the achievement.

By attila4go on 25 Feb 2018 16:01

You unlocked the broken glass getting the 5 kills. You need a kill with the broken glass for the achievement.

By Fuzzmeister J on 25 Feb 2018 16:24

Can these be found on TDM? Smaller maps.

By Lavindathar on 26 Feb 2018 17:04

yes you can

By Mariano80PL on 26 Feb 2018 20:46

And I thought the requirements for unlocking the cutlass were fucking stupid.

By BadTriangle on 28 Feb 2018 06:58

The 5th bottle on Passchendaele is on a table 60m east of flag E.

By BLOOMER 44 on 07 Mar 2018 01:31

Well after spending about 5 hours trying to unlock the bottle, I finally unlocked the broken bottle. I now have 5 kills with it and I don't have the achievement. So after hours of grinding, my achievement glitched. Along with the Weapons of the Apocalypse achievement because you need the broken bottle kill to get that one. Thanks EA! Great game...

By StarlightFalls on 14 Mar 2018 22:23

Great guide! I managed to unlock the bottle in about three rounds of conquest. I spent more time trying to find a populated EU server than it actually took to smash five dudes with wine bottles. Seems like I’m being put in an empty server almost every time.

By afxthom on 04 Apr 2018 17:56

Great guide. It's funny finding out how easy it is to hide in these maps.

By Z Squared91 on 29 May 2018 11:20

Goodness me that was frustrating. But after trying for about 3 hours I managed to got this in the end. It's a shame to even find a populated Apocalypse server in the first place, but when I finally did this guide was super useful!

By iPlatfoot on 30 May 2018 03:15

Anyone want to boost for this?

By RuflessKill3r on 31 Jul 2018 11:57

Do the bottles Respawn?

By GlockPurdy85 on 31 Jul 2018 21:19

No, the bottles do not respawn. They will only return after starting a new match.

By Z Squared91 on 01 Aug 2018 11:53

Just a note for people who like to live dangerously: it is possible to beat a horse rider to death with the whole bottle. Unlike with others enemies the bottle doesn't break until the player dies. I think it was my third or fourth swing when the rider died. I don't know how much damage he had taken before.

By HUN playmore on 04 Oct 2018 09:27

Hi there, I was just wondering if it’s possible to obtain this achievement by picking up someone’s kit with the broken bottle melee weapon equipped, and kill an enemy that way? (I know it’s unlikely, but thought I’d ask)

By x Lone Vixen x on 30 Dec 2018 13:57

This seems to be glitches for me? I’ve gotten 20+ kills with the broken bottle and no achievement

By TromboneGuy360 on 03 Jun 2019 22:48

Apocalypse maps were just on rotation last week so got the Broken Bottle as quickly as I could.

By HumidTube35 on 22 Apr 2020 19:43

Need absolutely this one. Only one kill. HELP!

By MrRevenant#1817 on 18 Nov 2020 15:57

Is anyone looking to boost this? Every time I pick one up someone is right there to kill me. Add me on Xbox: Tristater4, if you can help and I can also help in return.

By Tristater4 on 16 Jun 2021 05:23

I need help too (:

By Deathaderz on 25 Jun 2021 05:30

By Deathaderz on 25 Jun 2021 06:17

Looking for 3 guys in order to get this one. Far as I know there is an option to rent private server and set minimum players to 4. I can also help with other weapons (have all apocalypse and TSNP weapons)

By BajerKR on 03 Jul 2021 14:40

Hard but doable thanks to your excellent guide!

By DoomScott on 08 Jul 2021 04:44

Looking to get this, I can rent a server for the other achievements as well.

By on 16 Oct 2022 17:25

Finally unlocked it!! Not much fun taking a bottle to a gun fight

Must have picked up close to 20 bottles to get the 5 kills though. I only played Conquest and I was surprised at how often the bottles were still in place in each round.

This guide was invaluable. Thanks Smashsoul

By GavInxs on 06 Mar 2018 11:01

Nov 2018 Caporetto is the only Apocalypse map I seem to be able to find a server for. Good news is the bottles were always in the spots listed whenever I went for them so I guess not many people are looking for them anymore. Bottles have a large hit radius and don't break on a missed swing so just spam the melee button.

By wfmikeie on 20 Nov 2018 01:14

All credit goes to the guy who made the video, don’t forget that if you have a friend that has the bottle, just have them die with their kit, pick it up, and you’ll have the broken bottle on that kit so you can get a kill with it without having to unlock it, worked for me and my friend

As said previously, you need 5 kills with a wine bottle to unlock the broken bottle. The wine bottles spawn in certain locations across the new maps. Here are all the locations I have found.

River Somme
B Flag: Underneath the stairs in the windmill
C Flag: Inside the house on the floor of one of the rooms.
E Flag: Base of the machine with the tall tower
F Flag: Near a dugout area (looks like the beginning of a mineshaft)

Caporetto
B Flag: Near a bench & phonograph
B Flag: On a ledge near the Livens Projector
C Flag: One end of the bridge.
D Flag: On the ground near the Livens Projector

Passchendaele
A Flag: (Credit: GlitterLicks) Go out of the broken castle where you capture the A flag and head North until you see 2 bunkers in front of you that run parallel. On the left bunker you’ll see a little cut away with a few boxes stacked and in front of those boxes on the base of the cut out is a wine bottle.
B Flag: Walking out of the cement bunker, go right and it will be on the ledge to your right.
C Flag: I've see one in a hut to the North East, but I couldn't get it to spawn again, so it might be random.

Please post a comment if you find any more. Passchendaele was hard to find bottles on because they blend in so well.

Once you find one, it's a one hit kill. However, you can only use it once. If you die with it, it will not spawn back and you can't find it on your body. I highly recommend playing on River Somme with your team starting out with all the objectives. This way you can spawn in at any of the sites and grab the bottle without worrying about enemies.

JafethTheXtreme stated you should not switch to other equipment/weapons when you have the wine bottle as it will disappear.

5 kills later, you unlock the broken bottle. Equip it, get one kill, and achievement unlocked!

also you need to add that if you try to use your class equipment like med kits or flare you get bugged and the bottle dissapear

By JafethTheXtreme on 21 Feb 2018 18:05

@ JafethTheXtreme Done, thanks

By Idenic on 21 Feb 2018 18:12

Add to Passchendale: A flag - if you go out of the broken castle where you capture the A flag and head north you’ll see 2 bunkers in front of you that run parallel. On the left bunker you’ll see a little cut away with a few boxes stacked and in front of those boxes on the base of the cut out is a wine bottle.

Why wouldn't Dice give them a respawn timer? Lame

By TheDrunkMrLahey on 21 Feb 2018 20:50

looking for someone to jump on a custom game to get this. will help with other weapon unlocks if you need.

By CracklyKlover on 21 May 2018 02:22

If any one wants to boost this, please let me know. Can't even find a game these days

Earning one kill with the new melee weapon does not sound overly difficult and it is not at face value. However, unlocking the new melee weapon can be somewhat tricky. In order to access the new weapon, you must first earn five total melee kills with unbroken Wine Bottles. This is cumulative and does not need to be done in one life or one match. There are four tricky parts to this requirement.

Firstly, the unbroken Wine Bottle cannot be equipped in the menus and must be picked up in the environment in any of the three new ground based maps. Secondly, killing an enemy with the Wine Bottle causes it to break and therefore is a onetime use weapon. You must find another bottle in order to earn another kill. Thirdly, switching to another weapon or using a gadget will cause the bottle to disappear and it cannot be re-equipped. Once you pick one up, you must basically go right after a kill before doing much else. Lastly, the spawn locations of the Wine Bottle are inconsistent and somewhat random. Although it appears that the bottle will only spawn in a handful of locations, whether it spawns or not appears to be random.

Please see a below list of known locations:

Caporetto

Flag A: in a trench near the Livens Projector; it should be on the ground next to a fire
Flag B: underneath a bench, next to a gramophone
Flag B: sitting on a ledge, right in front of the Livens Projector
Flag C: on top of the bridge, next to the shoulder. On the opposite side of the Flag
Flag D: while facing Flag E, it is on the ledge to the right of the Livens Projector detonator
Flag E: on the flatbed section of the train on the railroad bridge

Passchendaele

Flag A: in the trenches, it's sitting in one of the wooden cutouts while facing Flag C
Flag B: in the trenches in a wooden cutout area (similar to the one above)
Flag C: while heading towards Flag A, it is in an area next to some sandbags
Flag D: in a destroyed bunker while heading towards Flag E

River Somme

Flag A: in the barn, in the corner on the first floor
Flag B: inside the windmill, on the first floor behind the stairs
Flag C: in the building on the floor in a corner
Flag E: next to a large gear at the base of the large machine

Once you have unlocked the Broken Wine Bottle, equip it in the menus and perform one kill with it in order to unlock this achievement. Please note that a single kill with this weapon is also required for the “Weapons of the Apocalypse” achievement.

Thanks to Smashsoul for information on some of the Wine Bottle locations.

hi very good guide which was given however I add an important detail. If a player uses the broken bottle in his class and dies during the recovery of the class you will have the broken bottle. infact by pressing the button where you assigned the melee attack you will have the bottle. it works because one of the players I helped managed to get it that way.it was on a private server but I think normally it should work

The Broken Bottle is a hidden weapon added with this DLC. To get 1 kill with it, you must first unlock it - you do this by accumulating 5 kills with the Wine Bottles that are dotted around each of the new maps.

Once you pick up a Wine Bottle, it will not spawn again in the place that you took it from for the rest of the round. You will also lose the Wine Bottle if you try to switch weapons, so once you pick one up, keep running around with it until you get a kill or die. Once you get a kill with it, it breaks so you’ll need to find another one for the next kill. If someone else recently picked up a Wine Bottle, it won’t spawn there for a few minutes afterwards, so if you can’t find it, it may be that someone only just picked it up themselves.

The locations of the Wine Bottles on Conquest are:

Passchendaele:
- In the bunker, on a table at B Flag
- In a damaged bunker, on the ground between D Flag and E Flag
- On a table near E Flag
River Somme:
- In the windmill, under the stairs on the ground at B Flag
- Inside the house, in a corner on the ground at C Flag
- Near a chimney, on a machine at E Flag
Caporetto:
- Near the record player and bench to the rear of B Flag
- At the base of the statue near B Flag
- At the base of the wall over the bridge at C Flag
- On a wall, near the Livens Projector at D Flag

Once unlocked, simply equip the Broken Bottle to your chosen kit, then play until you get a melee kill, at which point the trophy will pop.

Personally, I found River Somme the easiest map to get the required kills. The windmill location at B Flag lends itself well to camping until an enemy walks in, it’s a similar situation with the house at C Flag, and the E Flag location is quite built up so you can run between structures and surprise enemies quite easily.

An excellent video guide to this trophy can be found HERE, courtesy of YouTube user DANNYonPC.

To open the “Broken Bottle”, you need to kill 5 enemies with the “Wine Bottle”, which spawn at some points on the new maps. The wine bottle is matched once at the beginning of the round and, once used, does not appear until the end of the match.

Yes, on each map from this dlc there are a dozen bottles, or even more. If you can’t find it yourself, then look for places on YouTube .
Another thing is that they can be taken and of course they will no longer be in that place.

It's better to kill with a bottle when playing as a flamethrower due to increased HP

By Qreeperman on 04 Mar 2018 15:45

The situation is the same as with the “Advanced Studies / Higher Education” trophy; servers with maps from the Apocalypse are hard to find, but realistic.
It’s better to do it with a partner because... bottles are disposable and limited in quantity.
Well, or pick up a set from a dead person who has a “rosette”, having agreed in advance.

By GLo_0K on 30 May 2022 20:59

Bottles are only found on the maps: Passchendaele, Caporetto, Catfish River.

To unlock the “broken bottle” you need to make 5 kills with a regular one (with a whole bottle - fact), and after that you will have access to a “rose” and not a bottle, which you need to hit.
