Battlefield 4 Ribbons – In-game Awards

Ribbons BF4 Explanied

Battlefield 4 ribbons are in-game awards given to players for accomplishing certain tasks in a round. For example, a Battlefield 4 ribbon might be awarded when a player gets a certain amount of kills with a particular weapon, or when they capture a certain amount of flags, etc. When enough of the same ribbons are collected, players will receive Battlefield 4 medals as an additional reward.

In general, Battlefield 4 ribbons are much easier to earn than medals in the game. While medals sometime take dozens if not hundreds of hours to earn, ribbons can be earned in a single round of gameplay. There are also generally more ribbons than medals in the game.

Ribbons and other awards can be tracked on Battlelog. Ribbons are easier to earn in Battlefield 4 than BF3. For example, the flag capture ribbon is awarded after just capturing two flags in Conquest, while in BF3, a total of four captures were required.
