BF1 GAME BREAKING BUG!!!!

Hey there @Calvans_Kliens

First of all, it ain't a problem at your end. No need to Repair your installation or reinstall the game or anything, it's a server issue.

Chances are the game accidentally spawned you as a Cavalry in a tank. This is a notorious bug that has been around since the release. Sometimes you spawn as a pilot on a horse. Sometimes you spawn as a Cavalry without a horse. You're lucky that you at least got a tank since I've had situations where I spawn as a Fighter pilot only to find myself not having a plane to fly with ! Flapping my hands didn't help as I met my early demise hitting the ground with a lovely smack.

Anyways, my best advice to try and avoid this issue is that do not spawn your vehicle immediately after a round starts. Usually this issue tends to happen when a lot of vehicles are spawned at once and the server gets confused as to who should be given what class. Just reserve the vehicle of yours at the beginning, give it a few seconds, then spawn your vehicle. Lag also seems to be rather directly related to this issue. More lag, more common this issue is.

Sorry for this issue though, I do hope this bug would get fixed eventually.

Okay, *that* definetely is a bug. Sorry that I misunderstood you first @Calvans_Kliens . That surely shouldn't happen.

That is very interesting, since one can't normally change the gadgets of a tanker class. I have heard of these issues before as well but they've been always one person here one person there, interestingly always on PS4. Few people have gotten it fixed with reinstalling the game, you mentioned it didn't work for you, either. But yeah.. Interesting that I've never heard of this issue from anyone but PS4 players and it's always the Tanker class, not, for example, the pilot. So this sounds like a bug, indeed.

What I honestly would do would be to take contact to an EA Advisor at the EA Support, provide them with your picture proofs as those are decisive evidence that it's your tanker class, rather than a case of spawning as a wrong class, which is bugged. Ask them could they somehow be able to reset your loadouts from their end as clearly this is some sort of a case of a loadout not loading properly.

Here's the Support link : https://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/

And again, sorry for misunderstanding your issue at first as spawning with a wrong class is something that happens all the time and people usually panic and report saying they lack the wrench etc as they don't know better. This one clearly isn't a case of a wrong spawn but a missing gadget and that's not something that should happen.

Good luck !

That's sad @Calvans_Kliens , one would imagine that the support would be able to reset the loadouts.

I found this thread where someone had this similar issue with a pilot class and they had a funky way to fix this : https://forums.battlefield.com/en-us/discussion/101845/the-repair-tool-for-my-pilot-class-is-gone-and-i-cant-get-it-back-bug

Basically what they did was that they joined an empty server first, and spawned in as a pilot/tanker, and then quit the server. Then they went to another server, and clicked on an empty cavalry ticket, without spawning one. Now, apparently for them at least, the weapons visible at the bottom were the pilot/tanker's rather than the cavalry's and they were able to arm the Wrench back to themselves the way you'd equip gadgets to any other class.

I am sorry for the issue you're having, and I hope that workaround would perhaps be helpful.

ive been having the same issue but with the pilot class no wrench or spotting flare its geting annoying now and like you i deleted the game and reinstalled it to and still no repair tool
