RIBBONS are broken

I was given two pop ups that showed I had acquired two ribbons. The Combat and the Logistics ribbon. But, when I try to add them to my character, they're nowhere to be found in the interface.

    Hey @killCAMPERS, 

    Thanks for the additional information, the Ribbons you see during the match report screen are more like small repeating objectives to grant additional XP depending on performance/what you did during the game. 

    If you are wanting to update the Player Card, you can add/edit: 3 badges, the background image, and a tag image/name. The ribbon icons are not badges or tags you can add after completing them during a match. 

    Is there a specific Badge or Tag you want to unlock that doesn't seem to be tracking correctly?

    @killCAMPERS To confirm those ribbons relate to how you played the game last match and help with additional XP for your player level. Are you looking to add them to the player card?

    @EA_Illium Yes. My understanding was when they popped up at the end of a match I could add them. The Logistics badge popped up at the end of a match yesterday. I already have two badges so far.

    @EA_Illium I'm confused about badges. If I can't add the Logistics badge, why did it pop up at the end of a match, suggesting that I unlocked it? It doesn't make sense. I'm trying to unlock any badge I can. How will I know when I can add a badge to my player card?

    @EA_Illium I just learned that there is an aim bug for console players. Unfortunately, it won't be fixed until after the holidays. It does explain my experiences this past week.

    @killCAMPERS  Would you be able to share a screenshot of the specific badge you are trying to unlock, Again to confirm the ribbons you are shown at the end of matches (Iike combat, logistics, etc) are not unlockable items, they track your performance for doing certain things (combat - based around kills) and grant additional XP for them.

    If you need further information on progression or Ribbons I would recommend checking out the briefing:

    @EA_IlliumTo be honest, I don't completely understand how Ribbons work. I assumed that when the Logistics ribbon popped up at the end of a match that I had unlocked it, and would be able to add it to my player card at some point. This is one reason why I think the devs should send emails linking us to pages that explain the features of new Battlefield iterations. Especially, if you're registered at EA Answers. Back in the day when you could only buy games on discs, the games would come with paper manuals explaining the features and perks, etc. Nowadays, you have to Google for answers. Which is more time consuming than it should be. Maybe just a single link that takes us to a Help Homepage, from where you can find access to explanations of the features of the latest BF.

    Hi @killCAMPERS 

    I would be happy to pass the feedback along with about where information is shared, one issue with multiplayer games that have plans for continued updates providing all information in the initial purchase (especially with many people buying digital) can be difficult. 

    Currently, for the latest news and updates, BF2042 has an EA page where they make posts. 

    For immediate information on news, changes, outages, etc Dice also has a Twitter set up to relay faster bits of information. 

    I would recommend keeping an eye on those spots for any long-term announcements or possible issues that may pop up. 

    Cheers!
