#GamingBytes: Battlefield 5 will gift two items in first week
What's the story
Battlefield 5's scheduled release date was postponed to November 20. The announcement was made by game studio DICE in August, much to the discontent of the fans who were eagerly awaiting the game's release. However, now the studio has decided to compensate the gamers for their patience by giving away two free items in-game, once it releases. Read about this exciting news here.

The early bird gets the worm
Although gamers will be given two free items to reward them for waiting patiently, there is a small caveat. These in-game goodies will only be available to players who sign in during the first week of the game's release.

Oskar Gabrielson, the general manager at DICE announced the news via Twitter. The gamers would get the Oscar Mike Emblem and the Oscar Mike Helmet appearing as shipments in their Armory during the first week. Notably, a press release states that these items derive their names from 'military radio jargon used on the front lines'. The free items will surely encourage and excite gamers.
