Base Wars hides a second badge behind the official 20th Anniversary objective, and it has nothing to do with kills or capture points. It is a map-wide scavenger hunt for birthday cakes, followed by a single button press in a place most players drive straight past.
Quick answer: Finish the main Hunt quest in Base Wars first, then find and destroy every birthday cake on the map. A secret button spawns on the top level of the large structure at the end of the runway. Touch it to get the badge.
Requirements for the Base Wars secret badge
- The main Base Wars quest for The Hunt: Roblox 20 must already be complete.
- Every birthday cake on the map has to be destroyed — missing a single one blocks the button.
- A vehicle helps, since cakes are spread across mountains, borders, and building clusters.
- The button only appears on the top level of one specific structure.
Clear the main Hunt quest in Base Wars first
The secret objective only becomes functional after you finish the standard event quest, which is split into two stages. In stage one, go to the 2012 event hub, collect the flag, then bring it to the NPC who assigned the quest. Follow the white arrow; the flag is on the hilltop within the castle-like building. Press E to pick it up, and it will attach to your character.
The second part is a Skirmish match. Open the Quests menu and you will see Roblox 20th Anniversary: Skirmish, which asks you to win a match, with a loss worth 50 percent progress. Two losses therefore finish it on their own.
The fastest way through a Skirmish is the Battle Tank. Head to the Battle Tank spawner in your base as soon as the round starts, then drive into enemy clusters — tanks shrug off regular bullets and score instant kills by running players over. If your team is already ahead, stop taking risks and let the timer run out.
Artillery and enemy rocket launchers are the usual tank killers here. When your tank burns, walk back to the spawner and take a fresh one rather than fighting on foot.
Where the birthday cakes are hidden on the Base Wars map
The cakes are scattered across the whole playable area rather than grouped in one zone, and several sit well away from the usual fighting lanes. Sweep these areas methodically.
| Search area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Mountains | Slopes, gaps and rock pockets |
| Map borders | The outer perimeter edges |
| Buildings | Around and behind each structure |
| Open terrain | Anything off the main routes |
Buildings are the other easy miss. Circle each one instead of driving past the front, and pay attention to the back faces and the gaps between structures.
How to destroy the cakes and trigger the secret button
Confirming the badge unlocked, and what to do if the button is missing
You will know it worked when the badge award notification appears on screen after touching the button. If nothing is there to interact with when you reach the top level, the cause is the same every time — at least one cake is still standing somewhere on the map.
Leaving the server or restarting is unnecessary. Go back outside, locate the remaining cake, and destroy it; then return to the structure’s top, where the button will be waiting.
This badge sits alongside the standard event reward rather than replacing it, so the flag quest and Skirmish progress you already banked stay intact while you go cake hunting.
