How to unlock the Bomb squad achievement in Battlefield 4 - Definitive Guide

There is an easy way to boost it by yourself. Well, it's almost cheating, so throw your pride away before you do that.

1- Search for a server with 3 players. You can do that by checking "empty" and "1-15" in the server filter options. Obviously, you should check "Obliteration" and none other in the modes, and no particular map. I also personnaly check "normal" as I hate hardcore, but that's optional.

2- You'll find yourself in a 2 vs 2 game of Obliteration. This game will either start right away or restart after a few seconds. Either case, before you spawn, go to Team Settings and switch side. You'll end up in a team of 3 against the only other player.

3- Now run to the middle of the map asap (the easiest way on most map is to use the parachute spawn point) and be the first on the bomb. As there is only one player defending it should be pretty easy to score. If you're still not feeling safe, you can wait for your team to back you up. Run to the closest point, plant the bomb, and wait/defend.

The beauty is that a game stops and restarts if there is only two players left. That means that if the lonely player in the other team quits, you can still play with three players against none and plant a bomb or two before either the server fills up again or another player quits and the game restarts. And even if it restarts, there is a generous enough timer to let you finish planting a bomb if you're close enough.

There is no small map that is easier to reach the bomb on than others? I might try this tonight after work. Would it be a good idea or a bad idea to invite an actual friend to still help guide you? Idk if doing that might cause more players to join.

I find Siege of Shangai easy as you can be pretty sure the bomb will spawn really close to the main building entrance. Avoid Barrage if you can it is a bit hard to go around with all the water. Operation Lockdown can be hard too because it is easy to get shot from somewhere... I didn't try with friends so I can't help. Of course if you do try and you can manage to have him be the lone player on the other team, you may succeed in blowing up all three bombs :)

At the time I was playing this game and wrote this solution, the number of players was displayed on the list before you choose where you want to play. I don't know if it is the same nowadays.

The other options where the filters you can check or uncheck (search criterias as in "show only Obliteration games, or show only non-hardcore servers). Again, don't know if it is the same today as two years ago.

To unlock 'Bomb Squad' you must 'deliver' five bombs in the Obliteration game mode. It can be done on any map and you can be on either side, and is spread cumulatively over different rounds.

To successfully 'deliver' a bomb, you must not only plant it, it HAS to explode. If you plant it and it is disarmed, it will not count towards your achievement.

Once five explosions have occurred by your hands, the achievement will pop.

You can track progress for this under your ribbons, as you have a Bomb Delivered ribbon. Obviously, you need five.

The only tip I can give is persevere, and if possible play with a friend. I did this solo with randoms, and I found it a pain. There is 32 people fighting over one bomb. It's super handy if you have a friend waiting to give you a lift to the bomb in a chopper or tank.

NOTE If you already have this achievement on the 360 version, it will pop in the first round on the X1. However, the X1 version doesn't backtrack to pop in the 360 version.

Considering there are only three objectives in a given game of Obliteration, I don't think you have to get five in a game.

No Psyched, it's not in one game :P As JungleWookie says, thats physically impossible. The most you can reach in one single game is 3 bombs, and to do that you'd have to be very lucky. I'll edit the solution, just for clarifications sake.

Well see, I played on the 360 first, but I didn't transfer my stats thanks to how broke the game is. Put the disc in, that message popped up when I went to play, and I said "Yeah sure", hit A and it took me to the store to the "Season Pass", I was like, "Well if I need the season pass to do it, forget it", and immediately cancelled it, later to find out that, that was a bug.....Kinda angry cause now I gotta get this stupid achievement all over again.

I take no credit for the video. The credit goes to ObliviousWorld as it is his YouTube account. You can do what the video suggests by going in server browser and clicking R3.

You don't need to to go to battlelog. I just put that up so you can see what to do. As I said in the solution it is just the same as going in the server browser and adjusting what to search for.

You will need to play the Obliteration game mode, pick up/steal the bomb and plant it on one of the enemy teams base five different times. The point of this game mode is having two teams fight for control over a bomb that spawns in random locations on the map. Once a team collects the bomb, they have to plant it on any of the 3 enemy bases marked on the maps. Bombs can be dropped by players if killed and recollected.

The bombs location is always shown on your screen and the map which can make this achievement a little difficult due to everyone trying to go after the same target. Therefore, it is recommended to try and go for this achievement while playing with friends or people that you can communicate with for maximum coordination and success.

An alternative method of gaining this achievement more easily is to gather 4 players together, this is the minimal amount of players required to start a match. One player should filter empty lobbies through the server search, join one and invite the rest of the players once in the game. The game will place everyone on the same team and start. From here on, have everyone take turns getting their bomb deliveries. Random players can still join the lobby so if they're so if they prove to be too much trouble then you should quit out and find a new empty lobby.

Note: The bomb must explode and destroy the base for it to count as delivered, if it is diffused by the enemy then it will not count.

In terms of pure difficulty, this is the hardest trophy in the entire game. You will have to personally pick up the bomb, carry it to the enemy objective, plant it and defend it (with the help of your team) until detonation. You must do this five times but the trophy is cumulative, so any Obliteration matches you play in which you detonate a bomb will count towards the trophy.

As illustrated above in the description for Obliteration mode, you will become one big target for the entire opposing team every time you pick up the bomb. You will be highlighted on the enemy radar for the duration of the bomb carrying so it is helpful to use a tank to provide extra protection from all the attacking enemy players. Helicopters can help you keep your distance from enemies and get you to the enemy objective faster. If you successfully plant a bomb, fight like hell to prevent enemy players from disarming it, as it must explode for it to count towards the trophy. The consensus best map for planting bombs seems to be Goldmud Railway.

Earning Bomb squad without boosting will require some skill, very strong teammates and patience. If this trophy seems like it will be a struggle for you, then consider boosting. Boosting will allow you to unlock the trophy in about 15 to 45 minutes and save you an indefinite number of frustrating hours. The good news is that you will earn large amounts of XP for playing Obliteration, as the matches tend to be fairly long. Activating an XP boost during the match can net you big points. Press / to bring up the menu, then press to select the boost you wish to activate.

Boosting Method: Follow these guidelines if Bomb squad feels like too daunting a task for you:

· Go to the Server Browser from the Multiplayer screen.
· Press to edit the filter.
· Select Obliteration and set the free slots to "empty".
· Press to go back to the Server Browser and pick a server to join.

Following the above steps will place you in a match by yourself. Your friends will see this and be able to join you. Be mindful that other players may join as well. You will need four players to start the match. Once underway, trade bomb deliveries back and forth until each of you has five and the trophy unlocks. Assuming you are playing with four friends, you should have to play a total of about seven matches for everyone to get the trophy.

Use the Boosting Thread if you need to find friends to help you boost.

On full servers it is almost impossible to get a trophy, so in the server filter we select the extermination mode indicating 1-5 or 5-10 players. The trophy is obtained in 1-2 hours

Only those bombs that you personally delivered and brought to detonation are taken into account.

The easiest way to get this trophy is on the “Pearl Market” map using the dragon teeth add-on. This is due to its relatively small size, convenient location of bomb spawn sites and bomb planting sites.

ATTENTION!!! If it suddenly happens that during the game there are less than 4 people left (someone will fall out unable to withstand the pressure, for example, from your team or from the enemy, it doesn’t matter), then only those bombs that were delivered while there were >= 4 players will be counted . Actually, this applies to all cumulative trophies in the BF.

Bombs are also counted in the extermination of squads. At first I thought that this particular mode was needed and installed 2 bombs, then I saw that I was playing in the wrong place and thought that I still needed to detonate 5. However, after 3 the trophy dropped.

At first I wasted a lot of attempts and it didn’t work. I sat down in the evening and knocked it out in an hour. Miracle. The main thing is to get on the equipment and drive. Ida, the bomb must be detonated.

It’s best to play on a hard and half-empty server, there are more chances there, I knocked it out in half an hour on a map where there is a skyscraper in Shanghai, on the server there were only noobs lvl 4-15.

At the moment it is almost impossible to find players in this mode, so I advise you to go to the server search filter and select all available regions.

At this time, it is still possible to obtain this trophy. I received it in Europe. However, I warn you in advance. Only veterans of the maximum level remain in this mode. On open maps, if you have a low level, it will be almost impossible for you to deliver a bomb. We need closed maps where there are no ground or air equipment (for example, “Operation Locked Down”). Well, as always, the fewer people there are, the greater the chances of picking up and delivering a bomb.

The key point is to choose cards for no more than 4-7 people. Set the filter to Extermination mode BUT do not select the interval about players. Instead, just scroll down in the search. The most successful maps, with a lot of transport. In Shanghai I made as many as 3 bombs. There is also a not very beautiful but working moment - very often you come across a map where guys are boosting - you can snatch 1-2 bookmarks. You don’t even have to go into maps with a full set - I planted a bomb twice in a month, but it never exploded. Class select engineer.
