Dozer & Boris Achievements Not Unlocking in Solo, Co-Op, or Portal Modes

I read that it might be a bug that achievements no longer unlock in Solo/Co-op or Portal modes. I’ve been trying to get the Dozer “7 kills in one life with the shield” and Boris “2500 turret damage in one round” achievements. I’ve put a lot of time into both in All-Out Warfare, and it’s honestly starting to take the fun out of the game. If these achievements are supposed to work offline, it’s incredibly frustrating — especially when I get 4–5 kills with the shield, get dropped, and nobody revives me.

To whoever handles QA and tracking: I’ve tested this enough online to say that trying to get the Dozer achievement has been one of the worst experiences I’ve had in Battlefield. Players will suicide with incendiary grenades just to deny the kill, kills get stolen constantly, and it’s common to get T-bagged after dying while using the shield — which says a lot about how players view this Specialist.

MY MAIN QUESTION: is this a known bug, or is it intended that these achievements now only work in public All-Out Warfare matches?

I also noticed that server population seems different — I used to get matches with some bots, but now it’s full human lobbies almost every time, which makes this even harder. Whether that’s a tweak to matchmaking or a change in active player counts, I’m not sure. This is a request from a dedicated player to enable achievement tracking in Solo and Portal modes, or at least confirm the current expected behavior.

  • 0.6% is surprisingly few. I tried in All-Out Warfare game modes for a while but eventually decided to try portal again. I used EXPERIENCE CODE: AAWEVS and took not even 5 minutes to complete. I hope this helps somebody.

    I found that this setting was off and when i turned it on, i was then able to use steam overlay in game. I'm not sure if that's what's intended but it seems to work as a master overlay switch for the game. If true maybe that could fix NVIDIA overlay lNAPPROPRlATE​

     I will note the steam overlay was not opening in game when i pressed Shift + T

    That is different issue and i can relate.. It is 50:50 change if i can record with Nvidia or no. I believe those 2 issues are related.

    OK i got the Dozer one, my internet went down for some maintenance in my area so i took a break. Logging back I can see the achievement. I'll update again if i can get the Boris one to go off, I've tried that one a lot too

    Just following up I got 11 kills in one life with Dozer's shield only on breakthrough redacted and the achievement did not pop. I was online on steam and the EA app when I played this match just now. I will note the steam overlay was not opening in game when i pressed Shift + T
