Weapon assignment

Product: Battlefield 1
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Summarize your bug To unlock the Vetterli-Vitali M1870/87 Carbine in the DLC In the name of The Tsar, you need to do the following: Perform 50 kills with the SMLE MKIII Carbine Destroy 1 vehicle with K bullets. The k bullets assignment is the issue. I did exactly what was required to earn this assignment, I blew up a tank, got a double kill and the extra 250 score for destroying a vehicle but the unlock hasn't been acknowledged.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try the complete the assignment to see if the same occurrence happens.
What happens when the bug occurs? You earn all respective score for achieving your goal, but ultimately are left with no new weapon unlock as it has not counted
Please select your region North America
In what game mode did the bug occur? Conquest
AMD or Nvidia Model Number
Enter RAM memory size in GB

  • Hello there @MrLewR

    Thank you for the video footage as it actually tells me everything that actually happened. Checking the video footage, this is the moment when you hit your very first K-bullet on the target :

    As we can see, you get a direct shot on the Landship. You get a *Landship Damaged*, and most importantly, the hit marker shows a *direct vehicle hit* with your bullet.

    Now, when you hit the last K-bullet on your target..

    This is what happens. As you can see, your K-bullet does *276 Enemy Hit*, not Landship Damaged hit. Most importantly, you can see that the hit marker is *not* a vehicle hit, but rather, either a player or object hit. Your bullet did not hit the tank *directly*, but rather *something else* that caused the 276 damage to enemies around it, and *resulted* in the Landship getting destroyed. And since your K-bullet did not hit the Landship *directly* , it was *not the source* of the vehicle's destruction, and hence you got no credit for it, either.

    EDIT: Closeups of the hit markers :

    My theory is that your K-bullet most likely hit either an anti-tank mine, or a dynamite, which caused a chain reaction to happen. Your kill-feed shows that you got a kill for "K-bullet" but in reality, the source of destruction was whatever you actually hit with your K-bullet. This sort of thing is normal, for example, some people love placing dynamites next to a Behemoth and blow the dynamite up with a Kolibri and it shows that the Behemoth got killed by a Kolibri.

    Tl;dr : Since your K-bullet did not hit the Landship directly, but rather was an indirect source of the vehicle's destruction, your assignment did not get fulfilled. Henceforth, this is not a bug but simply a case of bad luck.

    WOW! So it is simply a case of rotten luck and I should imagine a very rare occurrence. Thank you for clearing this up so soon, I've since got the assignment completed as I earned the K Bullet kill again 🙂

    I wanna say something.. I did destroy a horse and I got the pop up for unlocking the weapon and I was glad and then I went afk to do something and clicked okay due to inactivity and going to see.. The weapon isnt there.. Is it because I got kicked out? Because I for sure saw the weapon pop up when I killed the horse with a k bullet and the unlock was acknowledged. (Edit: this happened yesterday night and I thought it was a bug which no one seemed to get but until now I saw this forum, PS:Still trying again to unlock it and not go afk)
