Definitely not a fan of new unlocks being initially tied to a specific time-limited game mode.😒 


Agree. I like playing conquest. I dont want to unlock it in a game mode.....

    Yep. I'm going to give the mode a go still, but I don't remember especially enjoying Control and I'm worried that it'll be the same for Control Unlocked. 

    Then again, it might come down to simply not even having enough time to get the 80 ribbons required (unless I can manage to get 15 ribbons max per match, so I only need to play 6 matches). 

    I'm also a bit frustrated about the tenuous "earn them through ingame assignments at a later date". Just tell me the date so I can make an informed decision.

    @ElliotLH I fear they don’t know the date themselves yet. Instead they let it depend on when player numbers drop. They will use it as a last lever to crank up the player count.

    Yeah I am wondering if that's the reason as well @RanzigeRidder2. It could also be that they're worried that a lot of the playerbase will just avoid the event entirely if the date for the challenges is known.

    @ElliotLH Good news: Ribbons to unlock XFAD-4 Draugr and DFR Strife can be earned in any official mode, so not event specific!

    I tested it by playing normal games and the tracker towards 80 ribbons is progressing!🥳

    @RanzigeRidder2 Good to hear! Hopefully Dice changed their minds and didn't update the previous unlock information, rather than that being a unintended 😄

    Don't be sad.  This is just how it works out sometimes.

    I think it was a good decision to make the ribbons for "Death from above" obtainable in all modes instead of just "Control unlocked". Thanks @ Dice. 👍

    Just read the change log notes for the latest update, and all I can say is W H Y ? ? ?

    WTH, Why have they decided to ponce around with this yet again and at this stage of the game's life.

    These people can't be playing the game, or have any real knowledge of the BF Legacy otherwise they would realise they are ruining it.

    Oh, and I don't recall being told we would have to start playing modes you don't want to or have to start earning specific ribbons to unlock the drone they dragged out after the last update where they also did not mention it was not coming out with the last update along with the Stadium.

    Talk about drip feed.
