Unable to unlock all weapons in the Apache

On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
Summarize your bug I am unable to unlock all weapons for the Apache helicopter. I am able to use higher-tiered weapons, but lower mastery unlocked weapons are greyed out. For instance, I can equip and use anti-personnel rockets, but the antivehicle rockets (a lower unlock threshold) are not available to use. I've used the Apache in co-op and MP, but still no unlocks.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure how to replicate.
What happens when the bug occurs? I am unable to use certain weapons on the Apache, despite having more than enough kills for all weapons to be available to me.
What should be happening instead? I should have all weapons unlocked for the Apache by now.

This is an older issue, from the first few weeks of the game's launch. I reported it to EA Help Twitter, and they said a fix was imminent - that was back in late November. 

Basically, I should have all weapons/systems unlocked for the Apache. I can use higher-tiered weapons like the anti-personnel rockets, but not lower-tiered like the air-to-ground missile or the anti-vehicle rocket pack. This isn't happening to any other vehicles. So far.

  • Others of us are having problems where we have completed mastery challenges, but have not been able to equip the associated attachments afterwards. I think the bug may stem from the same issue since the challenge meter is showing completed in everyone’s case, but the reward is not equippable in all cases as well. Talking to an EA help representative named Bruce trying to get all of our posts recognized together in one thread so we can get some traction on this.

  • @G3neral_Tso  pretty sure there’s a per-unlock microtransaction you’ve not yet paid. Have you checked to see if your credit card is applied to your account? 

  • @EA_Atic  can explain it. I was told that you click on Angel’s smiling teeth at the end of a round after he’s killed 50 people, and he’ll bend over and allow you to virtually “swipe” your card to unlock helicopter legacy features like a gunner direction indicator and the tv guided missile.
