Perform 1 kill with the Livens Projector

How to unlock the Advanced Studies achievement in Battlefield 1 - Definitive Guide

The Livens Projector is a weapon built into the new maps. It looks like rows of pipes sticking out of the ground at an angle. Next to it will be a plunger/denonator to use the weapon. You can use it once every 2 minutes ish, and it fires at the nearby objective.

Here are some of the locations. The best map to do this on is Caporetto, as there are 5 locations. You will want to spawn in as Austro-Hungarian at the main spawn, as all the projectors follow a path from A flag to E flag. You will not be able to use the projector if your team does not have the flag captured (often times the tubes won't even be spawned in) When ready to use, a yellow light will glow around it.

Caporetto Locations

B: fires at C

The other two maps only have 1 each, and can only be accessed by 1 team

Passchendaele Location (only usable by Germans)

*This achievement is very buggy*
The achievement might not pop if you get a kill with it, for some reason the game doesn't register it as a kill with the weapon. So just keep trying and experiment with different locations.

Yeah this may only work on double kills or be completely random. 3 separate single kills later, nothing.

There is one in the spawning area of the allies on Passchendaele. It goes to D flag as far as I guessed. I had to get two kills to get the chievo. Hope this help!

Thanks for the guide! I unlocked my achievement on Caporetto at the main spawn. Had to wait a couple minutes in order for it to be ready to fire but I got 5 kills on my first attempt and the achievement unlocked right away!

Can confirm you need to be killed by the gas that the weapon deploys and not the explosive damage from the rounds landing.

Achievements seem a bit glitchy atm. Another game took 24hours for it to properly recognise it being complete.

On the app it says 47/50 completed, meaning I've unlocked this achievement but it still hasn't popped up??

EDIT: So it just unlocked after getting another kill, on the app it says 48/50 achievements won when I have 3 more left... weird.

Is the Apocalypse DLC dead? I just came back from a long break off BF1 and no one is playing the Oceania servers.

Good news now is that you only need 2 people for a Rented server to start.

just got it on Passchendaele after 1 kill. Your team has to be very bad for the enemy to push up all the way to your main base in order to get kills with it and luckily they were

I managed to get it at River Somme but you have to wait until the enemy is taking Flag A for a better chance of getting kills. Don’t know if I got it from the explosion or gas but I got 3 kills.

Haha! Its the Kolibri. You unlock it after getting rank 10 with the Scout class. Oh and yes, every other gun and melee weapon was blocking the view

Great informative guide!

For those that say the achievement hasn't unlocked for them, it may be worth checking your unlocked achievements on Xbox. I got a single kill with the Livens Projector and I received no audio or visual notification, however, after checking my unlocked achievement list it was sitting at the top.

The Livens Projector is a new stationary weapon introduced in this DLC. It fires gas canisters to a fixed location (usually the first flag or next flag along) in order to help clear out the enemies that may be near there. You can spot them by the lamp located above the switch, which when lit, also means that the Livens Projector is ready to fire.

The locations are as follows:

  • River Somme - One Livens Projector:
    • Located in the spawn of the attacking British side, pointed directly at A Flag.
  • Passchendaele - One Livens Projector:
    • Located in the spawn of the attacking German side, pointed directly at E Flag.
  • Caporetto - Five Livens Projectors:
    • Located in the spawn of the attacking Austria-Hungarian side, pointed directly at A Flag.
    • At A Flag, pointed directly at B Flag.
    • At B Flag, pointed directly at C Flag.
    • At C Flag, pointed directly at D Flag.
    • At D Flag, pointed directly at E Flag.


The best thing to do is wait near one and activate the switch using by pressing and holding when you can see that the flag that it’s targeting is being captured. Once fired, hopefully within a few seconds you'll start gaining points for damage and eventually, one or more kills. Once you get the kills, the trophy will pop.

An excellent video outlining tips for this trophy can be found HERE, courtesy of YouTube user Flakfire.

This trophy is reportedly slightly buggy for some people, in that it doesn’t immediately unlock after a single kill as stated. Reports seem few and far between, but if this happens to you, keep trying and it should unlock after a couple of kills at most.

The Livens Projector is the new stationary weapon that was added in the “Apocalypse” add-on. The Livens Projector is a bunch of large tubes/pipes that are sticking out of the ground at an angle and can be fired by activating a nearby detonator. This weapon will then fire a mortar-style toxic gas barrage that causes damage over time to any enemies near the impact zone. This new weapon cannot be aimed manually and instead fires at a pre-determined, fixed location.

Below is a list of known locations as well as the Flag that each one will fire at. It is worth noting that when this weapon is near a Flag, it can only be fired when your team controls the Flag that is it next two and can only be fired every couple of minutes. You will know that it is ready to be fired due to the fact the detonator will be bathed in light, much like it has a spotlight on it. It is a good idea to wait until the capture point that the Livens Projector is aimed at is being captured by the enemy. At that point, activate the detonator by holding down and hope for the best.

Caporetto (Conquest Assault):

  • Near the Austro-Hungarian spawn, aims at Flag A (can only be used by the Austro-Hungarian army)
  • Flag A, aims at Flag B
  • Flag B, aims at Flag C
  • Flag C, aims at Flag D
  • Flag D, aims at Flag E

Passchendaele:

  • Near the German Spawn, aims at Flag A (can only be used by the German Army)

River Somme:

  • Near the British Spawn, aims at Flag A (can only be used by the British Army)

Thanks to Idenic for information on some of the Livens Projector locations.

In certain places on some new maps of the expansion, Livens Gas Launchers are placed.
- The easiest way to do this is on the Caporetto map, point “A”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usLbvawu4u4
- There is also a gas launcher on Caporetto at point “D”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-I8STfJm9hA
- Map of the Somme, based on the British Army: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUj-Jbds5rQ
- Map "Paschendaele", on the German army base, a gas launcher fires at point "E".

On Caporetto there is a gas cannon at all points except E.
At the spawn at the top of the mountain - shoots at A
At point A - shoots at B... And so on...

Official servers dedicated to DLC are empty.
There is no event with battle packs for operations from the Apocalypse DLC.

Quick option: do it with a partner on a rented server (with preparation for the round turned off), if possible.
Slow option: Be prepared for the fact that cards will rarely come up in searches, but you can find them, search all over the world, don’t care about ping. You have a better chance of finding it on weekday evenings and weekends. It’s also a little hard to kill honestly because... people either run away or put on a gas mask. I poisoned several people and one of them was finished off by our sniper, but I was counted as a kill. It will be faster and more reliable with a partner on the opposite team. Reloading the gas launcher takes about 3 minutes.
