Hoist the Flag Achievement (Guide)

[Mowz]

I've noticed a lot of people struggling with this achievement, myself included. Here's how I got it done in 3-4 games!

1. Filter game modes to Rush, Frontlines and Domination then make sure there's nothing checked in free slots to ensure you see all lobbies, also make sure you have all maps checked just to be safe.

2. You should see servers titled [DICE] RUSH, FRONTLINES & DOMINATION

3. Hop into any active Frontlines servers you see, you should be able to get the achievement done within a few games if majority of them aren't heavily one sided. (I only had one game that was heavily one sided, the rest were back and forth which is what you want to speed up the process.)

I hope this helps you guys get the achievement!

I joined a random European server early Australia morning and was able to get a Frontlines server. Just make it so the server browser only filters Frontlines.

You got good timing with that server, you'll rarely find frontlines servers from filtering frontlines only and if you are lucky enough to find a server it's usually empty more often than not. I found this to be the best method for finding populated frontlines servers, it mainly all comes down to timing and being on the game at a good time when servers are populated.

Yeah, I am never online early. It was a rare morning that I was on games and got that Frontlines. I was cranky at first cos it was so one sided I couldn't cap flags, but then I got 3 games where I could.

Death From Above was the worst. After many hours wasted I was able to find a stable Asian server that had Iwo Jima 24/7 and I figured out the entire map and placements and was able to get it!

That's exactly how my games went as well, thankfully that achievement ended up not being as bad as I thought it was going to be.

I'm currently at 2/5 on the Death From Above achievement, that is by far the worst achievement if you are someone who doesn't main air vehicles. I've never main'd air vehicles in all the battlefield games I've played, so piloting isn't my strong suite. I can pilot pretty comfortably, but trying to get good positioning on AA guns while dealing with people that main air vehicles is a pain. I really hope it doesn't take me much longer to finish that achievement lol

Feel shy putting this out there, but if you look at the method I used on Iwo Jima it works, (largely going around and coming over the ridge of the mountain for the two placements.)

I'll definitely give that spot a try, thank you for that!
