Can you upgrade weapons in solo/coop BF2042

I purchased the early access for BF 2042 and my progress for kills was being counted during solo/coop play and then it seems to have stopped out of nowhere. Is this an issue others are having?

    Yeah i had the same issue but they just stopped it. I think you can only unlock the basic things now for like a tank and stuff. Maybe weapons to . But everything will stop counting/unlocking after. So its not a bug but they just removed it. 

    it think it was just a thing at the beginning. Atleast the points you earn in co op still counts for your rank 🙂 

    If you want to unlock more things for your weapons i think we can only unlock them thru all out warfare am afraid

  • Kind of silly if you ask me, seeing as how it's currently not even possible to play as the russians (so you can't unlock their vehicle options) or even play as the defenders in breakthrough. You would think those things would be more important?

    Yes, they disabled almost all the unlocks and masteries progress in the solo/co-op temporarily. How long the "temporarily" will exactly be is a thing nobody knows.

    About picking a side in the solo/co-op - it depends on the specialist selected before the start of the match. For example, Boris will always start for RU, Maria Falck for US and so on. Not very obvious, but it works (I am not sure about playing as a defender, though). You can change the specialist to your preferred one once the match is loaded, on the deployment map. 😉

    @Anaghya made a good point to clarify that the suspension of progression in Portal, solo and coop is temporary. They never said anything about it being permanent.

    Having said that, @Anaghya also makes a good point that we simply don't know when progression might be restored. However, there are several updates coming starting tomorrow morning that will include some named issues and some that didn't mention.  It is my guess that progression will be part of that especially since this feature can't be passed off as some small footnote in the game marketing. It was front and center with the rest of the features.

    I created a thread on the update roll-out here.  This is now official, not a rumor or leak:

  • Dice have disabled progression in solo/coop after day one. Now I know why most people in Asia said that do not buy new battlefield games once launch. As a battlefield fan, really felt disappointed.

    Well, I know this is wrong because I was still able to get the most basic attachment for a pistol and I also unlocked a new weapon in the same game of solo Coop but toward the mastery portion of any unlock none of the kills I got counted. I'm just more disappointed because they straight up advertised this game stating that all progress for everything would be shared throughout all game modes... and it did... for like a day.

    i dont care about unlocking weapon and attachements but they shouldnt give mastery and badges to people playing against bots, badges are supposed to be challenges and mastery show your skills and experience. They are useless if people can just farm them against bots

    I just want to see ribbons pop up again whether it's getting a kill, assist, heal, revive when playing Solo/Co-op. Cause I had fun playing that mode when my friends aren't online.
