BF1 10th Anniversary - Make Unobtainable Weapons Earnable Again
BF1 is almost 10 years old and I think DICE should give it one final update to make the weapons that aren’t obtainable anymore earnable again.
There’s a bunch of weapons and melees that you can’t get anymore because they were part of old events, promotions or preorders. They could add new assignments for them, put the melees in Battlepacks or the Exchange, or with a little more effort they could even make some Easter eggs for them.
Some of the Operations melee weapons are technically still obtainable, but they depend on Operations Campaign Battlepacks, which can sometimes be unreliable to earn. It would be great to make those reliably earnable again too. Operations campaigns could be updated to automatically change each week.
There are also a few developer/unreleased weapons already in the game that could be really cool to finally make available for the 10th anniversary.
I think after 10 years there should be a way for everyone to earn the gameplay content in the game. Especially new players who never had a chance to get this stuff.
I posted this idea on the BF1 subreddit and it got over 800 upvotes, so there seems to be a lot of support for it.
They don't need to make new content or a big update. Just one final update that makes the complete BF1 experience available for current and future players. They could also make the exchange update automatically each week instead of relying manual updates.
Weapons that are no longer normally obtainable:
BFV Enlister weapons
- Fedorov-Degtyarev
- BAR M1918A2
- M1919 SMG
- Mosin-Nagant M38 Carbine
- M1911A1
Melee weapons
- Arditi Dagger
- Coupe Coupe
- Barbed Wire Bat
- Ararebo
Operations Campaign dependent
- French Butcher Knife
- Russian Award Knife
- Russian Axe
Developer/unreleased weapons that could be anniversary additions
- C96 Export
- Howdah Sweeper
- M1903 Silencer
For the old event weapons, new permanent assignments would probably make more sense than trying to bring the old Community Missions back. This should be relatively straightforward and could be implemented rather easily.
It would be awesome to see BF1 get one last update for its 10th anniversary and leave the game in a state where someone who starts playing years from now can still work toward the 100% complete arsenal.
