The Nile Guard mission in Battlefield 6 may be short, but it hides a pair of collectibles that completionists won’t want to miss. This mission puts you in command of Ibrahim Mul Ibrahim Al-Khatib, a tank commander leading Egypt’s armored forces against Pax Armata. Once the tank battle ends, you’ll go on foot through the ruins of Cairo — and that’s where the two elusive dog tags are hidden.
Battlefield 6 Nile Guard Mission
Nile Guard serves as the seventh mission in the Battlefield 6 campaign. It’s primarily a tank-driven level until the closing sequence, where players dismount to secure a downed helicopter and rescue Captain Yasta. While it lasts barely 15 minutes, it’s an important stage both narratively and for trophy hunters chasing the “Pack Leader” achievement.
- Playable Character: Ibrahim Mul Ibrahim Al-Khatib
- Setting: Egypt — streets of Cairo
- Number of Collectibles: 2 Dog Tags
- Mission Rewards: High Roller skin (campaign completion)
- Trophy/Achievement: Roadside Assistance (for collapsing the overpass while in the tank)
Dog Tag 1 — Saied Zaher
Location: After leaving the tank and entering the first building
As soon as you step out of your tank and begin advancing with your squad, you’ll move through a small building lined with computer monitors. Exit through the back door and check the courtyard immediately on your right.
Look near a tree beside some flattened cardboard boxes — the first dog tag lies there, marked with the name Saied Zaher, Egyptian Ground Forces – 26 May 2004.
Tip: Pick it up before moving further toward the plaza. Once you cross into the next objective area, you can’t backtrack without restarting the mission.
Dog Tag 2 — Hassan Taha
Location: Plaza area near the helicopter crash
After collecting the first tag, fight through a short stretch of buildings until you enter a plaza filled with Pax soldiers. You’ll see a helicopter hovering in the background — don’t approach it yet. Instead, clear the enemies and head toward the blue-doored building on the right side of the plaza.
Inside, take an immediate right turn to spot a wall covered in posters. The second tag, Hassan Taha, Egyptian Ground Forces – 25 Aug 1996, is pinned beneath a “No Pax” poster by a knife.
Important: Picking up this tag must be done before you move toward the helicopter, as that triggers the mission-ending cutscene.
Additional Objectives and Hidden Rewards
While Nile Guard features only two collectibles, it offers a couple of other optional feats worth completing:
- Collapse the Overpass – During the tank section, continuously fire at the overpass that enemy troops are using. Bringing it down unlocks the hidden trophy “Roadside Assistance.”
- Campaign Challenges – Finishing the Nile Guard objectives also contributes to the “Mission Complete 2” and “Campaign – Nile Guard” challenges, granting the Standard Issue (NATO Character) and Canopy Drop (Vehicle Camo) rewards.
How to Replay Nile Guard
If you missed any collectible or reached the helicopter too early, don’t worry — Battlefield 6 allows mission replays from the Campaign Mission Select menu. Nile Guard’s short runtime makes it one of the easiest stages to revisit and 100% complete in under 15 minutes.
Why Collect Dog Tags?
Every dog tag across the nine Battlefield 6 missions adds to your Pack Leader trophy progress and unlocks cosmetic rewards such as character skins and vehicle camos for multiplayer. Collecting all 30 dog tags and the single T-Rex toy ensures full campaign completion and access to exclusive items.
