Blackhawk Rescue Mission 5, usually shortened to BRM5, is in its own words a tactical open world shooter with vast maps and thrilling gameplay. It is made by the PLATINUM FIVE group, which has about 518,000 members, and the group description explains that it is based on PlatinumFive's story driven military roleplay games on Roblox from 2011 to 2016, most notably Blackhawk Rescue Mission 2 from 2011 and Aftermath from 2015, made with permission from the original developers. The experience was created on March 3, 2019. On October 20, 2026 it showed about 640 million visits, about 1.73 million favorites, roughly 19,000 people playing at that moment and about 90 percent positive votes, with the last update on October 19. That day it was third in Top Trending for Indonesia, fourth for the US and Thailand, fifth for Japan and sixth for the UK, and first in Top Revisited for Japan, Indonesia and Thailand. Long time players came back for Operation Typhoon, which started on October 16. The country breakdown is in popular Roblox games right now. This guide sticks to the official description, badges and event posts.
The short version: start with team ops, build income at your HQ, and join event operations on day one
The official description rests BRM5 on three pillars. First, team based combat across multiple open world game modes; it mentions the new Kingdom of Sawang map among them and says you can also go head to head in PvP. Second, progression through your own Headquarters, which boosts your income while you are offline and lets you research powerful weapons. Third, gear and customization: more than 1,000 operator outfit combinations, 70+ guns with over 100 attachments to build your dream gun, and more than 20 modern military vehicles, boats and helicopters to buy and own. A Sandbox Mode with a realtime game editor even lets you build your own scenarios and maps. The badges show the goals. Taking part in the Ronograd Bunker Raid gives one of two badges: It's Not Over for proving yourself a competent operator, held by about 970,000 players, or Lost Souls, whose text says your failure changed the course of humanity, held by about 790,000. The outcome of the raid decides which. The Operation Typhoon Stage One Response badge, for playing within the first 24 hours of release, went to about 344,000 players. The event list shows both Operation CRYO on October 31, 2025 and Operation Typhoon on October 16, 2026 as new map events. A sensible order for a new player is to learn the map and gear in team operations, build your HQ for income, then take on the event operation. If you have not recorded Roblox before, start with how to record Roblox gameplay.
Starting BRM5: do it in this order
- 1Join with the PC version and put on headphonesOpen the experience in the PC version of Roblox from roblox.com. The description recommends headphones for the best audio. With DOR installed, recording starts with nothing to press.
- 2Learn the map in a team operationOf the open world modes, start with a team operation. The maps are large, so move with your squad first and learn the terrain and how to get around.
- 3Build your HQ to start income and researchAs the description says, your Headquarters boosts offline income and lets you research powerful weapons. Stop by before and after each operation to keep research going.
- 4Set up your gun and outfitBuild a gun that suits you from 70+ guns and over 100 attachments, and dress your operator from more than 1,000 outfit combinations. If you need squadmates to split roles with, try the Roblox group finder.

BRM5 moments worth keeping, and what officially backs them
| Moment | What the official sources confirm | How to keep it |
|---|---|---|
| The Ronograd Bunker Raid | It's Not Over and Lost Souls split on how the raid goes. | The outcome is the story, so record the whole raid and trim the ending. |
| Your first drop into Operation Typhoon | A new map event from October 16 with a first 24 hours badge. | Keep the first session whole; it doubles as a map reference later. |
| Moving by helicopter or vehicle | The description lists 20+ vehicles, boats and helicopters. | The talk on the way in is half the fun, so keep the mic on the same track. |
| A firefight with a gun you built | 70+ guns and over 100 attachments to build your own. | Press the clip hotkey right after the fight to save it separately. |
| A scenario you made in Sandbox | Sandbox Mode with a realtime game editor is in the description. | Keep the whole test run with friends so you can rewatch it. |
Before you join BRM5
- You are using the PC version of Roblox from roblox.com.
- You have headphones ready, as the description recommends.
- There is enough free space for a long operation.
- You checked the event posts for the current operation and map.
- You will ask before posting videos with your squadmates' voices.
Keep a whole BRM5 operation with your squad's voices using DOR
All you do is launch Roblox. There is no button to press and nothing to set up: DOR, a free Windows PC app, recognizes the PC version of Roblox and starts AI auto recording the moment you join BRM5. When you leave to the home screen, that session lands in your library as one mp4. Game audio and your microphone are recorded together on one track, so the radio style chatter with your squad stays in the file, and AI voice notes log what was said with timestamps so you can jump back to the loudest moments. To keep the firefight that just ended on its own, press the clip hotkey and the last 30 seconds are saved as a clip, with 15, 30, 45 or 60 seconds to choose from. Recording defaults to 1080p at 30fps, with 60fps available. Pick the clips you saved and press Create highlight, and the AI highlight joins them into one video; trim any part to 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 and share it with a single dor.gg link. DOR Studio opens right in your browser for text, background music and effect templates. If you want a 5v5 tactical shooter where you buy weapons each round, see the BloxStrike guide.
