The ninth and final campaign mission, Always Forward, puts you in GSgt Dylan Murphy’s boots for a full-scale push on Pax’s stronghold. Beyond the set-piece chaos, there are four Dog Tags to collect here. Grabbing them all completes Campaign – Always Forward and contributes to the overall Campaign collectibles challenge—perfect if you’re chasing every cosmetic and title before rolling credits.

Below you’ll find an efficient, spoiler-light route with exact environmental cues so you can sweep every tag in a single playthrough.

What you’ll unlock for finishing the mission & collecting everything

• Mission Complete 4 → Bighorn HK-16 (Melee) + Carnivore (Weapon Package)

• Campaign – Always Forward (All 4 Dog Tags) → Urban Sprawl (Pax Armata Character Skin)

• Campaign (All campaign collectibles total) → Winner Takes All (Dog Tag)

Pickup controls: E (PC), X (Xbox), Square (PlayStation). Dog Tags emit a subtle glint—look for the shimmer in shadowed corners.

Speedrun route (one pass, no backtracking)

To minimize combat interruptions, this guide follows the mission’s natural flow. If you miss one, use Chapter Select after finishing the mission to clean up quickly.

Dog Tag #1 — The Outpost Garage (Early Roadblock)

Tag name: Lachen El Idrissi (Pax Armata Air Force – 07 FEB 99)
Objective on screen: Get through the outpost (Reach the Overlook)

Landmark & directions:

1. After the first firefight by the outer checkpoint, look to your right for a low garage structure with roller doors and two parked vehicles.

2. Enter the garage; the tag rests on the floor beside the vehicles, just past a scattered toolbox.

Tips: Clear the last two sentries on the catwalk before stepping inside—their angle covers the garage doorway.

Dog Tag #2 — Concrete Ledge after Building #3 (NXC Alpha Approach)

Tag name: Iruza Rahmani (Pax Armata Special Operations – 06 SEP 97)
Objective on screen: Disable NXC launcher Alpha (Disable the NXC Launchers)

Landmark & directions:

1. You’ll weave through multiple interior spaces crossing the NXC Alpha base. Count your entries: the target sits after exiting the third building in that sequence.

2. As you drop into the exterior lane, look immediately right. A waist-high concrete slab/ledge protrudes along the wall.

3. The Dog Tag sits on top of that concrete, near a coiled cable.

Tips: Don’t sprint forward—this item is easy to overshoot because the game funnels you toward a left-hand alley with fresh hostiles.

Dog Tag #3 — Missile Platform Steps (Hold Position)

Tag name: Bakhodur Rahmani (Pax Armata Special Operations – 06 SEP 97)
Objective on screen: Hold Position (Disable the NXC Launchers)

Landmark & directions:

1. Once you reach the first missile platform, take cover and stabilize the area.

2. From the missile’s base, move to the right and climb the short staircase that wraps the service deck.

3. At the top, hook left toward a maintenance corner. The tag is on a small crate/box, partially shadowed by piping.

Tips: Expect a counter-push from the catwalk opposite the missile. Clear that angle first so you’re not tagged mid-loot.

Dog Tag #4 — Bunker Desk after the Shockwave (Final Stretch)

Tag name: Eric Macleod (Pax Armata Special Operations – 30 APR 94)
Objective on screen: Progress after the missile detonation cutscene → Make your way to the Bunker, then a short interior cutscene plays.

Landmark & directions:

1. After the shockwave sequence, move with your squad toward the Bunker.

2. Once the brief bunker interior cutscene ends, regain control and look left before advancing deeper.

3. The Dog Tag lies beside an open laptop on a side desk/shelf unit.

Tips: This room is deceptively calm. Grab the tag before you interact with any mission-critical console to avoid pulling yourself out of the area early.

Clean checklist before extraction

• Garage at the first outpost (Tag #1)

• Concrete ledge after the third interior on the NXC Alpha path (Tag #2)

• Missile platform right-side steps, left at the top (Tag #3)

• Bunker desk after shockwave & interior cutscene (Tag #4)

If all four are in your pocket, you’ll see progress tick for Campaign – Always Forward on the end-of-mission screen or in Pause → Challenges → Campaign.

Combat & pacing tips for a smooth collectible run

• Use smokes for taps. A single smoke grenade at the garage door or missile steps buys you the two seconds you need to pick up a tag mid-push.

• Clear “overwatch” first. In open courtyards, eliminate high catwalk shooters before entering garages or climbing short stairs.

• Don’t over-advance on prompts. This mission loves to chain objectives—loot before each trigger zone to avoid locking areas behind firefights or cutscenes.
