War Story rewards unlocks issues - Workaround

If you are having issues unlocking War Story rewards then try following workaround below. Will will have outlined information what you need to do on each platform. 

To earn a unique melee weapon or tank skin for completing a War Story, you need to master all its challenges and collect all letters. Sometimes the Overview in the War Stories menu doesn’t match the breakdown you can see in Acts or Letters. For example, you may see 6/6 Letters in the Overview but only see 3/6 when you look under Letters. If these totals don’t match, you don’t get your reward.

We have a workaround for you to try:

First, exit out of Battlefield V if you’re playing.

Next, make a note of the challenges or records that are missing – you’ll need these later. Then:

On PC

1. Turn off Cloud Saves in Origin.
   • Open Origin’s Application Settings.
   • Click Installs & Saves.
   • Under Cloud Storage, toggle the slider to 0.
2. Rename your Battlefield V settings folder.
   • Find the Settings folder inside the Battlefield V folder in My Documents.
   • Rename it to something like Settings_old.
3. Launch Battlefield V and play the War Story again – making sure to catch the “missing” letters and challenges this time. 
   • Once there are no gaps in the record you should get your reward.
