    @SteefSchreef 

    You CAN actually update your weapon specialisations in-game. Instead of selecting the weapon and trying to customise - you must hit the customise button (square on PS4) and go in that way. It's so stupid and likely a design oversight but it IS possible.

    Give it a try and hit me with some XP if you can get it to work.

    Cheers.

    Same issue for me on pc.

    After I've ranked up a vehicle or weapon - even if I go to the Main Menu and then go into the Your Company menu to add Specializations - I can't add the Specialization for that level.

    There's no icon next to Your Company to show that anything's ranked up, but going into the weapon or vehicle in question the rank number has indeed increased. The padlock for the Specialization is gone, but I just can't click the button to unlock the desired Specialization.

    I then have to quit the game, relaunch it, and THEN there's an icon next to the Your Company screen showing me there's something new/unlocked in there. Only then can I go to the weapon or vehicle in question and add a Specialization from the newly unlocked rank on it.

    Ok tried it but nope. It’s unlocked but can’t select. Now I “have” to stop this session and close the game. And start the game again and then it will allow me to add the specialization. ☹️

    Oh okay sorry. This sounds like a DIFFERENT bug/issue than what I thought it was.

    Still after multiple updates you have to quit the game (and i mean the app...back to dashboard) and only then can you add new specialisations to weapons.....come on....

    @SteefSchreefI have since experienced this bug and know what you are speaking of. STILL in the game. Absolutely SUCKS to have to close the program, restart, join a new game to simply upgrade your weapon or vehicle.

    Yes it does. It’s like they “outsource” there patch work 🙂 but I’ve moved on to the division 2. Bfv was becoming a bit to repetitive. I’ll try again in couple of months maybe the bug will be fixed then too 🙂

    Agreed. I was the biggest defender of this game but there are too many problems and not enough maps. Back to RDR2.

    @SteefSchreef @lIGangIl @Adman_Tor To be accurate, the specializations do become available in-game without having to quit out of the game. After the game in which you unlock said specialization, you must play one more game. Then, those specializations become available. This is a workaround in that you have to play another game for it to be available, but you won't have to quit out of the game. That said, this is a bug that definitely needs fixing.
