Re: Weekly weapons Scrap Exchange updates

The Battlefield 1 exchange hasn't been updated in several months.  Since we've waited this long, we could maybe get some good stuff from the exchange? Some good ideas would be the Howell Automatic and Lebel Model 1886 skins.  We also haven't had heavy tank skins in almost forever.  Maybe we could get the M1911 care package as well? If we had a good exchange like this, it would not only bring back more players, but also battlepack sales would spike due to people trying to get large amounts of scraps to get all of these skins.  

The oil of empires/Gallipoli campaign operations also ended, and we haven't had a replacement operation.  If we could get Fire and Ice, that would be amazing.

    It has been over two months since the last exchange update, which has undoubtedly upset the player base.  Maybe this is just a case of killing off the old games and their player bases to move them over to the new game (BF6).

    I just tried the BF6 open beta. Game wouldn't run; got the standard Secureboot error message, which I wasn't prepared to fix as it's waaaay too difficult/complicated/insane to do. End of story. What's in plan for BF7? Any ideas?

    I need to buy a new desktop gaming PC first because my current one (2017 config) is below the BF6 minimum hardware requirements.
    Maybe for Christmas (Black Friday sales) I'll try again.
    Until then, I'll continue playing BF1.
    And I spend money on the BF1 game because I want BF1 live services again:

    -Community 2XP boost:
    The last Double XP event was active between June 28, 2024 and July 11, 2024 (13 days long).

    -Weekly scrap exchange
    The last weekly market update was on June 2, 2025 (74 days ago).

    -Weekly game mode
    The last weekly game mode update (B2B Operations) was on June 2, 2025 (74 days ago).

    -Operation Campaign
    The last campaign (Blood and Sand) was active between July 1, 2025 and August 4, 2025 (34 days long).

    DICE pls UPDATE All

    It's so disappointing how they're treating BF1... Is it worth even buying Battlepacks when they don’t deserve it? I swear, I keep opening Battlepacks for the white Howell skin and still won’t show up 😂

    I'm watching a 2 and a half hour YouTube video about opening 500 Battlepack now.
    "Far From Y0u" streamed it live yesterday.
    There are still fanatical BF1 players  :)

    So when? We have been waiting for months. 

    At least you could give us a expected update date if you really do have a schedule...

    I think EA DICE's schedule plan/business strategy is now determined by BF6.
    It's possible that producers/managers want to move players towards BF6 by reducing the features of the "old" BF1 game (weekly game mode, weekly scrap exchange and Operation Campaigns).

    The order in which these BF1 features were added was also strange:
    -Battlefield 1 was released on October 21, 2016.
    -Initially, the battlepacks were randomly awarded to players at the end of matches.
    -In March 2017, the way to obtain the battlepacks was changed at the request of the community (with progress bar).
    -Also in March 2017, there was the first scrap exchange where you could buy specific skins/items.

    But what's interesting?
    The first Operation campaign was only in November 2017.
    And you had to get 2x30,000 points for the Operation battlepack.
    I think the only reason of adding the Operation campaign half a year later was to allow players to farm scrap.

    Forgot the jackpot, free battlpack glitch.
    I think if there was a really big glitch in the BF1 game, the EA DICE Community Team would have compensated players with this.

    OFF
    I updated my list of 120 skins that can be obtained with Operation Battlepacks.

    Current Operations Battlepack
    https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Battlepack/Battlefield_1_Active_Series#Current_Operations_Battlepack
    The contents of the Operations Battlepack are accumulative, always containing the same contents as the previous iteration with extra skins. In the April 25th, 2018 update, the Russian Axe puzzle pieces were added to the case.

    The irony is that even with the extra scraps there's nothing to spend them on, I'm pretty sure I have all the base game skins, and am just waiting for those that are only Exchange available. ! DICE is not getting a cent of my money for BF6 until they resume a regular skin exchange rotation.

    I think the EA DICE Community Team will never "officially" approve the existence of 81 exchange exclusive skins.

    I spent 62550 scraps (79 x 450 + 41 x 450 + 19 x 450) on Battlepacks today.
    I opened 139 Enhanced Battlepacks (Ultimate Revison) but didn't keep anything.
    I recorded every box opening on video.
    Here is my updated list:

    I didn't get the 81 exchange exclusive skin by opening chests.
