Battlefield 2042

TL;DR

1. Use the soflam once you hit level 56
2. Level it up in solo coop until mastery 12 then move to breakthrough games.
3. Sit back and scan the areas

Should go from mastery 0 to 40 in about 3-4 hours.

Long Winded Answer

After all of the updates and patches to make the proximity sensor less efficient and smoke grenades are slow, I wanted to share how I got this achievement.

I got this achievement in less than 3 hours playing breakthrough with the soflam. You don’t unlock this until level 56, but I decided to give it a try because the medpen was leveling slowly. In 1 match I hit mastery 5. I went to solo coop to level up to mastery 12 against the bots and then went to normal matches.

I tried to pick area that were far away, usually in my own spawn still, that would overlook an objective and just move the RS from left to right slowly. From what I can tell, you get 1 point for each spot and then you get another point for each assist. I’m not sure if you should be able to spot infantry like this, but I would give this method a try now in case they decide to patch it and let it only spot vehicles.

These are a few of the easiest challenges that I can see.

In order of unlock:

Smoke Grenade - You just need 4k thrown grenades, so if nothing else just throw 2 every time you respawn. Bring an ammo box if you just want to sit in a corner and get high.

Prox Sensor - Assists and Enemies Spotted count for this, I am leaning to believe if you tag someone and they get killed then you should get a point for each, if that is not true I will update this to reflect what is really happening.

Insertion Beacon - Teammates need to spawn on this, which can be hit or miss. If it is anything like previous BF titles then this should come actually pretty fast.

Med-Pen - Kills and Revives while it is "in loadout", this means just equipped, not in effect. Besides that grammatical issue then this is by far the easiest as you will get this naturally as you play.

IBA Armor Plate - Exact same as the Med-Pen

If any of this is wrong please let me know and I will do my best to update the guide.

There is no particularly quick way to get this achievement, however the easiest way to do it is a method where you can continuously throw smoke grenades to get the 4,000 smoke grenade badge.

The idea of this is that you continuously throw down supply load outs so that you can quickly get your 2 smoke grenades plus 1 ammo box back.

At the bottom of this written guide is a video of the method in action, but here’s how you do it:

1. Go into a multiplayer game of conquest or rush and choose the specialist ‘Angel’. Then put your throwable as smoke grenades and your gadget as the ammo crate

2. find a spot where the enemies won’t kill you (aka anywhere in your spawn)

3. Put down a loadout crate (left on D-Pad then LT to switch it to supply drop and then RT to throw it)

4. Throw your 2 smokes, then throw down your ammo box, walk over your ammo box to get 1 smoke grenade back, then throw that 1 smoke grenade (so you would’ve thrown 3 in total)

5. Resupply from the loadout crate you just deployed and re-select your loadout. This gives you your 2 smoke grenades and a fresh ammo box back to you.

6. Rinse and repeat steps 3-5 until you get your achievement for throwing 4,000 smoke grenades. After a bit of practice you’ll become very quick at doing it and you’ll be throwing 15 smoke grandes a minute which will look something like this video of me doing it:
