That’s right, you have to have premium to even be in with a chance of unlocking the bow. Gather yourself some sandwiches and a flask of coffee, as the journey ahead is a long one. I expect that after reading the requirements, you will understand why I refer to it as the ‘Phantom’ Phantom bow. Now that you understand what you are trying to unlock, I will outline the long list of requirements to get anywhere near unlocking this opinion polarizing weapon. Not only that, but it is a viable stealth option for many players (despite the trail that the arrows leave behind them) as you will not show up on the mini map when firing the bow. Now, as I mentioned, it feels slightly out of place in a modern war game, but then it is an optional unlock that offers yet another choice of weapon for the vast range of play styles that players can adapt in BF4. This weapon is completely infantry based though, and hitting vehicles, even with the explosive arrows, will deal zero damage to the armour. Not only that but it has three different arrow heads, including an explosive tip, which obviously can deal a bit more damage to a grouped bunch of players. It is a pretty powerful weapon that can deal a large amount of damage if close enough, and will guarantee a kill with a head shot. However, maybe I am not giving it the recognition it deserves. Maybe I am just being sceptical because I am yet to unlock said bow, but I do sort of feel that its place in this game is a bit odd. May I remind you that Battlefield 4 is a modern game about 64 player war, with tanks… and jets… and a bow and arrow?

If you are a premium member, you qualify to unlock yourself a “Phantom Bow” a bow and arrow, that’s right. This hunt leads to an entirely new weapon. This particular easter egg, however, brought about a lot more than just a dinosaurs roar, or a small reference to previous games. After the recent release of the Final Stand DLC for Dices Battlefield 4, a huge easter egg hunt took place, with several convoluted steps and many frustrated players. Hey, do you like jumping through ever shrinking hoops of fire? You do?! Then you’ll love the Phantom Project. Battlefield 4 is well known for it’s crazy and difficult easter Eggs, but this latest one takes the biscuit.
