Battlefield Hardline guide: complete single player walkthrough, multiplayer tips and secrets

Hardline is the latest in the Battlefield franchise from Visceral games, and shifts the action from military warzones to the criminal underworld.

The single player campaign focuses on one man’s mission to take down corrupt police and a massive crime syndicate, while the multiplayer game gives players the chance to be cops or robbers, battling it out across nine maps and a whole host of new modes like Crosshair or Hotwire, alongside classics like Conquest and Deathmatch.

Both the single player and multiplayer games are significantly different, and both require different tactics and skills. Here we present a full guide to the single player campaign complete with the locations of all the open warrants and evidence, as well as growing tips for multiplayer and a bunch of in-game secrets.
