How to unlock the Gun Master achievement in Battlefield 2042 - Definitive Guide

This is actually simpler than people think, just get 1,200 kills with any one weapon. I should point out that I only see T1 challenges for BF42 weapons, so portal non-BF42 games will not count. A good game mode for this is Breakthrough, super-dense maps will make for some very quick gunfights.

As a few people have mentioned, Solo/CoOp does track progression until you reach Mastery 12 or Tier 3. I recommend doing this until you reach that point so you have a head start going into PvP with a fully customized weapon and with a bit more experience at using it. (note this is the same for all challenges, they stop tracking at T3 in solo)

Hopefully they update it to progress past T3 in solo, but it is a nice surprise that makes getting this achievement that much easier.

i dont think it does since i got over 80 kills in my first match and nothing updated with the dm7. bit garbage but well that pretty much sums up the game.

My first game of bots didn’t count on a random map, but changing it to orbital to get wing suit achievement my kills counted the whole match, maybe customised matches count?

With the latest patch today, Nov 25th, i think the guns are tracking kills in solo & co-op mode versus bots. Worth checking out.

Solo also works for around a third of the tiers for me, after that it just stalls

mastery level is every 30 kills, tiers are for certain kill milestones

So, I literally just need 1200 kills with my SFAR and i'm done? But past a certain point bots don't count

mastery counts up, tiers count down, hence you would be in the first tier of stats

Kills are so slow for me in this game. It's the last T1 achievement I have left. I have about 450 kills.

Just to be clear can this be done in solo vs bots or not? Are we saying only the first 400 kills count against bots then we need the last 800 against real players?

For weapons you can earn progress until Mastery 12/Tier 3 (they are the same kill count) or about 360 kills, after that the only way to earn progress is in normal multiplayer against real people.

Finding it harder to get matches at the moment, lot of AI's filling the gaps of people who finished and won't come back. Get these achievements done asap, this game has 6 months left at the most

If you are in a normal pvp match, then AI kills will count past that Mastery 12 limit. It only stops tracking in solo/co op.

You cant do past T3 with bots.. so the best way right now is TDM, short maps and no vehicles... if this one of your last ones

Got this playing TDM last night. The game kept putting me on empty lobbies against bots. Yes, on the official playlist. I don't know if it's related to my region (SA). Still the game would start anyway. Randoms would pop up from time to time but i was mostly by myself. Managed 80~90 kills a match and they all counted.
This only happened on the Series, as the One version i can find full TDM matches no problem (again might be region related).

I can confirm what Maverick Hiro says, I played a TDM game with only bots on official playlist and kills counted twice.

I'm confused I didn't even hit 1200 kills, was at like 750 and the achievement randomly unlocked. Same as the T1 Specialist achievement. and then the next game my win 42 rounds also unlocked and I was only like 71% of the way through.

@CMKESKIN You need to hit Tier 1, it countdowns backwards from 5 to 1, you still have 3 tiers to go

I don't get this achievement...

I have plenty of weapons that are on Tier 2/3 with 28/30 kills until the next Tier (for example), I go into a game and get 30/40 kills and it doesn't change???

How many kills do I need in PvP once I hit Mastery 12 Tier 3 in Solo/Coop?

Ahhhh I was wondering that! So bots that fill missing players in normal pvp count towards the tracker? That's actually quite cool

Zombie mode HAHAHAHAHAHA

Just when you thought this game couldn't sink any lower... "maybe we can get the kids and casuals playing!?"

Good news for the poor bastards that just want their achievements so they can finally dump this turd though

I've been used the BSV-M and enjoying 800-1000% damage no bullet drop (HC) portal servers.

Quite fun and you can get a lot of kills quick, though can also be infuriating when you get spawn killed a lot.

Depending on indivual server settings, they should count all the way to T1, but double check your progress yourself in each server

My method for working on the 1200 kills is to check the featured portal modes. The featured modes will give full credit towards your mastery.

I played Team Deathmatch for the best progress, but it isn't always up. Free for All and the 12v12 Rush mode were good when TDM wasn't live. The main modes are far to spread out and slow going. I got 9-15 kills in most matches. One FFA match I got 29.

It can feel like a slog, especially if you are not into the game. I like it, but agree it has plenty of issues. Keep with it and you will get there!

Note: There looks to be an update in the future that will show how much progress you can get from custom portal matches. It's not known how helpful it will be for this achievement, but could help keep the game interesting.

I made this trophy on an M5A3. My ideal build for close to medium range.
Sight: Fusion
Clip: Melee
Barrel: Long Barrel
Handle: Lightweight BCG handle, or if you have a really tough corridor challenge, you can use the Lightweight Rattlesnake handle.

Boosting on the AA3NQD portal is the most working and proven method, but I twice encountered the following glitch:

at a certain point, the progress of kills on weapons ceases to be counted (it was on the M5 and AK24). The player whose counter stopped running left the server and reconnected with a new one. In both cases, after reconnecting, the kill progress was reduced by 30 units, but after that everything was counted normally.

Therefore, I recommend that the shooter periodically check his progress so as not to waste time just waiting for the trophy to appear.

With bots we make the required barrel up to T3 and the LATV4 machine up to T3
Portal code AA3NQD
Number of players: 4, but if you and your friend have PS5 and PS4 and a digital version of the game, you can do it together
Operatives Falk or Angel
First map (We do T1 on weapons): between the warehouses you meet all together, 1 person in each team lies on the ground and they will be killed by those who are boosting and they will also raise, change every 100 kills, if all four need to fill, if only two players, then the time will take approximately 30 minutes for two players and 1 hour for all
Second map (We make T1 on a typewriter): the defense team has a jeep, you drive it to a vacant lot near the charge, here one team is boosted, the other dies. The scheme is the same, one player sits behind the wheel, the other behind the machine gun, the driver just sits and is credited with assistance, the other team does the same thing as before, one is killed, the other just picks him up, it takes 1 hour per team

You can switch to the PS4 version at any time, there is the same progress on both consoles
