Re: AK 5C Unlock BF 2042

I’m having the same problem. Got the 50 kills easily, underbarrel shotgun kills are not counting towards the 10 I need to get.

@Dawsonian @bullettmagnet Out of interest, which gun are you using the under-barrel shotgun with? I'm just wondering if there's some consistency there, in case you're using the AEK971 like @BSTRD_klz. 

It's difficult to test since I unlocked the AK5C during the Battlepass, but I might have a way of doing it and seeing if it works with a certain weapon but not others. At the moment I'm wondering if it's Vault Weapon related but I'm not 100%.

I tried with the M16 as well as the AEK to test the same theory. To be fair I’ve only tried it on co-op modes because bringing the underbarrel shotgun to a real multiplayer game seems like a terrible idea. That will be my next test when I get the chance, and I’ll update accordingly.

OK I've had a fiddle on my other Xbox profile - give the Masterkey on the M5A3 a go.

I had to grind out the attachment and the 50 kills requirement first as I don't game on that profile, but after I unlocked it I started making progress towards the AK5C in Solo/Coop. I presume this points to the problem being Vault Weapons related.

Here's some screenshots and a video in case they help:

That did it, thanks so much!

Correct me if I'm wrong, the UB from the AEK is said to be a grenade launcher that shots little balls? Pellets? Idk the name but anyways, my theory is that it doesn't count because the attachment in itself isn't a shotgun, the Masterkey on the other hand is uniquely a shotgun and nothing else.

Thats cool yall figured out how to get things to add to the score... but explain this one....

All grenade launchers with the underbarrel shotgun at the bottom are not counted. However, the M4A1 has a proper 'underbarrel shotgun' – the kills are also counted, and the underbarrel has a lot more ammo.
