Is there a hostile Goldfarb in your area? Better watch it!

It’s been years – YEARS, I tell you – since the release of Battlefield 3, yet there are still secrets to be found if you care to look hard enough. YouTube detective Jackfrags spent hours listening to audio files and he still hasn’t encountered this one in the wild, but he does know what it is: the infamous and terrifying hostile Goldfarb. It’s a voice message only heard under certain very specific circumstances, and – when triggered – the powers that be warn you that DICE level designer and writer David Goldfarb is somewhere nearby. Want to know how it’s done? Have a look at Jackfrags’ results.

It’s maybe a 1 in 2000 chance of hearing it in the wild, so if you’re really keen, it can be done, but don’t expect to get it in a hurry.
