In August, Battlefield 5's release date was delayed to November 20. As a means of compensating players for their patience, DICE will give players two free in-game items—so long as they sign-in during its first week of release.
Announced via Twitter, the developer's general manager Oscar Gabrielson says early adopters will receive the Oscar Mike Helmet and Oscar Mike Emblem. A coinciding press release says the names of the items derive from "military radio jargon used on the front lines." Logging on during week one will see the items appear as shipments in the Armory.
