The final and most asked for Dog Tag is of course the DICE Friend Dog Tag. Acquiring this one will not be a standard affair, and is based on the following criteria:
*“A DICE Friend is a nominated Battlefield 1 player who has helped DICE and Battlefield 1 through things like community building, events, tournaments, bug tracking help, or other positive influences”. *
A small DICE group/committee will consider nominations from the community and recommendations from the dev team.
Every person awarded a DICE Friend Dog Tag will be called out as to why they have been selected.

This is the story I got told by Raxor: “A member of the BFEE community named “Gamersahoy” is disabled. He has compartment syndrome as well as Rheumatoid Arthritis. In February he had to have surgery on his leg, shortly afterwards his PC broke. If that wasnt bad enough, he had to have surgery on his other leg as well. After surgery he had set up a fundraising goal for getting a new PC, sadly that didnt meet its marks. Then a couple of weeks ago one of the worst things that can happened to someone occured. His father died. Upon hearing this a BFEE member named Bronzeaxe contacted me to get in touch with gamersahoy. Bronzeaxe had just built a new PC, and was going to sell his older pc (which is basically top of the line still) to someone. Instead Bronzeaxe is going to be driving from the Netherlands to Belgium to donate his old PC & install it for Gamersahoy. Personally knowing these two members, this story brings a tear to my eye, and really touches my heart. I thought you would like to hear about something like this, Community members helping other community members.”
