With 2019 set to come to a close soon, it seems DICE is giving us one more weapon to earn before the year’s done. Spotted in the game files via datamining is the Battlefield 5 Chapter 5 upcoming rewards for the next week, and it’s a new gun, and even a Christmas-themed baseball bat!
Once again unearthed by reliable dataminer temporyal, we see that the BAR 1918A2 LMG will be the reward for Battlefield 5 Chapter 5 Week 8, and there’s even an optional challenge that will reward a holiday-themed baseball bat!
As expected we're getting the BAR M1918A2 LMG next week as a Tides of War reward.
There is also an optional weekly challenge ("Build one snowman") which will reward us with an epic melee weapon: The Christmas-themed Baseball Bat. 🎄 pic.twitter.com/06atblvR5e

The reward for Tides of War Week 8 is an epic weapon set:
🌴 Pacific Palm (BAR M1918A2)
Side note: This year we're probably not getting any new weapons as Christmas presents (at least not without an additional patch).

Same as with every datamined info, this is NOT official until DICE announces and/or confirms it. Plans change, and whatnot, so don’t get annoyed at DICE if this doesn’t turn out in week 8.
For more official Battlefield 5 news, don’t forget that we’re getting fan-favorite Wake Island next week! Make sure to watch the trailer, and read up on the map breakdown. In addition to that, we’re also getting Community Games (or rent a server functionality)! Read up on the initial features available and more.
Stay tuned to our weekly Battlefield 5 challenges reset that goes up every Thursday.
