On which server did this happen? All of them
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) Since Early Access Launch
Summarize your bug: I can't use weapon attachments even though I completed the requirements for the attachments
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? i'm not sure,
What happens when the bug occurs? Doesn't allow me to equip attachment even though requirements for attachment have been met. 
What should be happening instead? I should be able to use the attachment. 

Example: DM7 is Master Level 16, and the Close Combat Magazine attachment unlocks at Mastery 1 with 30 Kills. Still says its locked with the kill progression bar listing 30/30 kills. 

Note: This doesn't happen with just weapon attachments, same problem occurs with specialist skins too. For me Sundance's night operation skin also has the same issue.

  • I am having the same issue. I’m not unlocking attachments and having a hard time reaching levels which I should be much higher then I am currently. Got a few buddies having the same issue

    I'm also experiencing this. I've had over a hundred kills with the MP9 but it still says that i've only killed three. After a match, when you see your unlocks, it says "you've unlocked a new scope" or whatever. But on the loadout menu it's not there. Still can only count to three. It is extremely frustrating

    I was playing conquest om PC. However, after a few restarts it was resolved, all attachments was there. Don't know what happened

  • @EA_Atic I have tried all of the game modes in All Out Warfare. Conquest and Breakthrough. I have also played in Multiplayer and Solo and Co op. In terms of restarting. I have restarted multiple time and even did a full clean reinstall of the game. 

  • @EA_Atic @I tried leveling up and it still hasn’t unlocked it. I will say though after the 2nd patch, the close combat mag did unlock as soon as I logged in. Though the other attachments that has this glitch did not.

    Hey @xDoFFyzx,

    Are you experiencing issues with unlocking the image for the Playercard, or do you not know how to unlock the image/what the requirements are?
  • Anyone have this issue with the PBX 45?  With the high damage magazine it's supposed to hold 25 rounds, But in game it only holds 20?

  • I've unlocked mastery one of the EBAA wildcat and have over 70 kills and the 40mm ammunition is still unavailable. I have reset the game many times, played games until completion many times and it is still not unlocked. How can I fix this?

    I've been with this problem since the game got released!

    For myself the bug is on the tank equipment.

    What a disgrace of a game....shame on you EA

    I am having the same issue. DM7 levelled to Mastery 12 (360 kills registered) but only have attachments up till Mastery level 7. Restarting the game (or PC), completing matches in any game mode or deleting Battlefield 2042 folders from "My documents" does not solve the issue. The attachments are depicted as having been unlocked (e.g. 210/210 kills, blue bar at the bottom full) but not able to be equipped (lock symbol with cross symbol on it depicted in the bottom right corner of the weapon attachment). Problem has persisted for approximately 2 months.

    The issue occurred when an update was released that enabled XP and weapon/vehicle/skin progression gain/advancement in solo/coop again. During this period solo/coop games were played and the weapon was levelled to mastery 7, after which a server side update was made that then again disabled XP gain and weapon progression etc for solo/coop games. At a later point this was resolved and the weapon was used again for solo/coop gameplay and was levelled to Mastery 12, however the attachments, which all have their requirements met, cannot be equipped. I have waited since then for the issue to be resolved, however this resolution has not occurred.

    Hey all. 

    Just wanted to pop in to mention that we're still investigating this issue. 

    However, unfortunately, there are currently no updates to share.

    We appreciate the patience and frustration.

    Thank you.

  • @EA_Leeuw How about a month later? Starting to feel like I got penalized for taking part in early access. Still can’t use the SWS10 attachments I listed in my previous post on this thread since the first day of launch when I unlocked them. Is there an ETA? Is this actively being worked on? Or is this mess not fixable?

    ATM grinding new weapons and attachements remains unlocked even if i reach the kills requirement ...

  • I've just recently come across this problem for Xbox One. Some attachements are unlockable, some aren't. Prevoiusly there was a delay, but now I've gone to lvl 12 mastery for the SFAR, but can only pick from lvl 5 attachemnts or something along those lines.
