Yes, you should apply the BIOS updates one after another.

Your motherboard is a ROG Strix X570-F Gaming running BIOS 2802. The newest BIOS is 5002. Should I apply all updates from 2802 up to 5002 in order, or can I bypass them and install version 5002 directly? For other motherboards or laptops, the same approach applies—BIOS updates are typically installed sequentially.

Updates are straightforward. Older changes persist in newer releases unless fixes address issues from earlier versions. Generally, proceed to the latest unless specific reasons demand retaining an older build.

You can bypass this by checking certain updates on alternative platforms. On your board, once you reach a specific version, updates will prompt you to proceed past that point, unlike other systems where you must wait for a milestone notification such as "Update to version x. xx before updating."

certain games or patches need you to complete them in sequence, along with some unique features you become familiar with while using MSI gear

What MSI motherboards require that?

B350m mortar is an option, though details vary by version.

The guidance highlights a particular driver update, not a BIOS change. It carries a strong suggestion rather than a strict mandate.

It's not related to MSI, it's a motherboard issue. I've seen boards from various makers needing this, mostly older AM4 models.
