BF4 Unlocks

  • I had recently downloaded BF4 again on my PS4. I had previously played in my ps3 and had almost everything unlocked and now that I redownloaded it all my multiplayer progress is gone. I spoke with an EA rep and they told me to try the forums. I have lost everything even now whenever I try to unlock the campaign guns for multiplayer they never unlock. I do not know why I lost all my unlocks before and now cant unlock the campaign weapons.

  • Hi @HydraScopez ,

    If you only previously played BF4 on your PS3, then unfortunately all your progress is no longer retrievable if you now logon via a PS4.

    Only the PS3 players that migrated to PS4 back in the earlier days were able to do this with all their XP and unlocks intact, as long as EA actively supported that migration.  Reason is that you actually had two different soldiers, one for the PS3 environment ad another for that PS4 environment. 

    So such 'upgrade' was one time and one-way only.  Think that it is now maybe 3-4 years ago that migration support function was discontinued unfortunately.

  • is there any way for EA to backtrack that info because I really would like to have my unlocks again.

    Hi again @HydraScopez ,

    Now I am not EA, but as we observed then that feature was terminated from the infrastructure 3-4 years ago.  So don't see how that would be possible anymore unfortunately.

    Think only plausible way forward is to logon for some enjoyable BF4 gaming and grind your way through it.

  • @CyberDyme all I feel is pain sadly with the campaign guns even when I complete each individual ending and wait lets say a day or two. they never show up on my soldier even now.

    OK @HydraScopez ,

    So you got answer here now to your first initial question.   

    I understand that you also consider unlocking weapons from the Campaign then to be an issue for you, but that is a very different matter then.  It takes typically 3-5 days before the central Battlelog is updating with your local accomplishments in the Campaign.  And you will need to logon with your soldier and play in the multiplayer environment to do so, as your Campaign achievements are all kept locally on your local offline game platform.  So its first when you logon and join a BF4 multiplayer game that you force your Campaign results to be synchronized with the central EA Battlelog registry.

    What is the link to your soldier please in Battlelog, so we better can support you here.

    @CyberDymehere's the link that came up in Battlelog. Curiously enough I see no PS4 soldier just his PS3 soldier so I wonder if he made a new PSN account? https://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/user/HydraScopez


    Yeah exactly  @ragnarok013 ,

    If we are looking at the correct PS3 account, then its certain that he did not use same PSN/EA account for his new PS4 BF4 soldier.  And that was the first requirement for the migration tool to function back in the days...

    In any case, that PS3 soldier is 'just' at XP level 28.  Reason why I suggested him just to enjoy some gaming with his new PS4 BF4 soldier instead.  As with current "Double XP" booster bonus going on from EA, then he will quickly accumulate those same points and blast further ahead while having a lot of more fun at the same time.  🙂
