    @AkoloS_TH In that case you will just need to complete the associated challenges to unlock them. The shortcut kits don't unlock DLC weapons unfortunately, they only unlock base game weapons.

    Edit: Here's the disclaimer from one of the shortcut kits on Origin.

    Hey @AkoloS_TH,

    Welcome!

    It's unfortunate to hear that while you mention to have purchased a BF1 shortcut kit, you don't see the unlocked items in-game.

    May I ask what platform you're playing the game on?
  • Hi @AkoloS_TH The locked items in your picture aren't provided in the shortcut kits, only base game progression items are included with those. Some of them you need to buy Premium or a specific DLC for and then you'd have to unlock them by completing specific tasks, and others just require certain tasks, such as with the Martini Henry sniper. For example the Type 38 Ariska Infantry requires the Turning Tides DLC, as well as you needing to perform 25 Counter Sniping kills and then 3 Multi kills as a scout.

    I've not gone through the complete list of weapons in your picture, but you should be able to see what's required in the game itself (on the Weapons menu if memory serves).

  • I got the support shortcut kit and would the weapons such as the MG 15 or the BAR now be avaliable? If so, I didn't get any of them... nothing at all, not even the sidearms or anything.  Nil

    @SpecificGrape10 I'm going to lock this thread since it's over a year old. To answer your question though, the MG15 and BAR (excluding the BAR M1918A2) should have been unlocked with that kit. I'd recommend contacting EA support so they can take a look.

    @HUN_gattaca_lg Thank you for the link, but I think there's been some confusion ad the original question was about DLC weapons.
