How to unlock the Show of Force achievement in Battlefield 3 - Definitive Guide

For this Achievement you’ll need to get 10 kills with each of the new weapons for this DLC.

NOTE:
If you pick them up off dead bodies and get ten kills, that will also count. You can also get 10 kills with 9/10 of the weapons by playing Gun Master. Gun Master does not include the M5K so you will still need to unlock or pick that up for the kills.

Weapons Required:
Assault Class: AUG A3, SCAR-L
Engineer Class: ACW-R, MTAR-21
Support Class: L86A2, LSAT
Recon Class: M417, JNG-90
All Classes: SPAS-12, M5K

Assignments:

Assault Class

AUG A3:

Little tip from JungleWookiee: Javelin kills do count toward the assignement. I myself find it really easier to get kill with that beast than with RPG/SMAW.

For some reason, my kills with the M320 (standard GL, haven't tried Buck and the like) counts towards my Underslung kills for Set Us Up The Bomb when I don't have an Underslung Rail equipped. Mayhap a glitch to take advantage of.

For anyone having trouble with the EOD bot kill, I found it very helpful to go for tanks sitting in one spot. The EOD can go almost completely underneath tanks most of the time, and they don't show up on proximity scans, so get in close and use the attached repair tool.

Any and all undermount-capable weapons count towards the SCAR-L, including the M26 being carried seperate; actually got all 15 kills with it.

Thank God this achievement isn't glitched the way the B2K one was.

This cheev is glitched! I have more than 20 kills with each weapon and still no pop.
I have gotten 10+ kills in a single round with all of the weapons with the exception of the TAR.

I got TOP 5 by just playing the GM mode with maximum 8 people - and obviously finishing in top 5... Makes it a bit easier than the larger servers.

By GodHammer6 on 24 Jul 2012 16:02
For those of you having trouble getting this cheevo: it appears that for some people the SCAR-L and ACW-R stats are swapped. If you have less than 10 kills with one, use the other.

Anyone know of anyway to track what kills you have?

Ive checked a couple different stat sites and none of them seem to track any of the weapons that you acquire through the DLC's.

Ive been trying to keep a mental note as I unlock the weapons, or use them. Just don't wanna have to guess what 1 kill I might be missing when the time comes. Anyone?

I just unlocked it after it glitching on me as well. I think I found out what the problem is. You don't have to unlock all the assignments for the weapons. The only thing is that you need 10 kills with every gun in the same gametype/map. I know I had 4 JNG-90 Sniper kills in Gun Master. After I got the 14th kill (10 of them at Ziba Tower Conquest Domination it popped). So it has to be 10 kills in the same map and/or gametype. I hope this helps others that don't have it unlock before.

Good call ROBBERT. Played some more gun game to get kills with the MTAR (only gun I haven't unlocked) and got it after one round. Had 16 kills with it before, just needed a couple more I guess on the same map. Yay

One of my JNG-90 kills was glitched (the weapon sucks butt in comp play btw). Also important to note that revive kills seem to affect the tracking differently so if you end up boosting this: dont use a medic

You may also want to add that all bar the JNG-90 and M5K can be unlocked on any map - if that isn't obvious already ;)

Hey maybe you could add this to your solution but(this is mostly toward tai jason) you can search for a nearly empty Gun Master lobby(I went into one with 3 people to account for someone joining) and just try your hardest(you dont have to win, but you might as well try) When the match is over, as long as you are ranked 1-5 in the match you will get the assignment. I had tried joining one with 2 people, but i guess it wasnt enough people

I want to add that every one of the CQ weapons is used in Gun Master except the M5K and the Achievement is just like the Back to Karkand one so you dont have to unlock every weapon to get it. Just play some Gun Master and do what you need to get the M5K then go into a TDM match and get 10 kills with it and Boom Cheevos your.

If you have the Aftermath DLC you can actually obtain a M5K gun in the Scavenger game mode. Simply play away and look around at the weapons. If you find one of them which is a M5K you can get the 10 kills towards this related achievement without actually unlocking the weapon.

I recommend you get at least 12 - 14 kills if possible since the recording of the weapon kills in this game can be buggy.

no the other solution just tells you how to unlock all the weapons. I was simply pointing out that you do not need to unlock anything but the M5k because everything is in Gun Master but the M5k. My solution was just a quicker way of getting the achievement then dealing with grinding out all the weapons

Similar to the Karkand achievement, you must get 10 kills with the new CQ weapons. They are not all available at the beginning, you must unlock them by completing assignments listed below. You must complete the first tier assignment to unlock the next assignment, anything you do for an assignment that isn't unlocked will not count toward its completion.

First unlockables for each CQ weapon which unlock at 10 kills.

  • AUG - Acog
  • Scar L - Acog
  • ACW-R - Reflex
  • MTAR-21 - Reflex
  • L86A2 - Holographic
  • LSAT - M145 (3.4x)
  • M417 - Acog
  • JNG-90 - Ballistic
  • Spas-12 - Reflex
  • M5K - Reflex 

Assault

1) 'Shepard' - 10 Squad Revives; 30 Assault Rifle Kills - Unlocks AUG A3
Play as the assault class obviously and stick with your squad getting revives (must be squad members) and kill 30 with any Assault rifles.

2) 'Set Us Up the Bomb' - 20 kills with Underslung Grenade Launcher; 15 kills with hand grenades - Unlocks SCAR-L
Use the Underslung Grenade Launcher attachment (unlocks at 11,000 Assault Score) and kill 20 with it. As for the 15 grenade kills, this can be done as any class; just keep tossing those 'nades. Utilize the 'Frag' perk so you can carry extra grenades!

Support 

1) 'No Shortage' - 20 squad resupplies; 20 kills with light machine guns - Unlocks L86A2
Play as the Support class and drop ammo boxes for your squad (must be squad resupplies). Then kill 20 with any LMG's.

2) 'Point Blank' - 10 kills with C4; 10 knife kills - Unlocks LSAT
Kill 10 with C4 any way you can, even if you place it on a vehicle and kill whoever is inside, it will count as a C4 kill. As for 10 knife kills, again this can be acquired as any class, just keep sneaking and knifing.

Engineer

1) 'Done Fixing' - 20 AT Rocket kills; 30 kills with carbines - Unlocks ACW-R
Play as the Engineer class and get 20 kills with Rockets and 30 kills with Carbines.

2) 'My Own Terminator' - 1 kill with EOD bot; 100 kills with carbines - Unlocks MTAR-21
Get a kill with the EOD bot which does have a torch attachment; this can be extremely frustrating for some. The EOD bot doesn't maneuver very well, you can't run people over with it and the torch has limited use. Either locate an unaware sniper or fry a buddy on the opposite team. Utilize that new ACW-R (or whichever carbine you prefer) and kill 100 with it.

Recon

1) 'Team Player' - 10 T-UGS assists; Capture 20 flags - Unlocks M417
As Recon throw down the T-UGS (unlocks at 5000 Recon score) in a populated area, generally near a flag or an M-Com. Play lots of Conquest and capture 20 flags. You can play any variation of Conquest and it will count toward this assignment; also flag capture assists will count as well.

2) 'Bullet Point' - 50 kills with Sniper Rifles; win 3 rounds of Conquest Domination - Unlocks JNG-90
Kill 50 however you can with your favorite sniper rifle. If you are not the best sniper, use the M417, the gun is a semi-automatic beast; even with iron sights. You'll knock out 50 kills in no time as it's very powerful. This can be done on any map, so not just close quarters maps. Be on the winning team of Conquest Domination 3 times.

Any Class

1) 'These Hurt Too' - 20 kills with Pistols; 20 kills with Shotguns - Unlocks SPAS-12 
Get 20 kills with pistols, these will accrue with any class you play, most experienced players if their main weapon runs out of bullets while shooting at an enemy will switch to a pistol to finish them off. If you are having trouble with pistol kills, play 'Gun Master' as you start off with 3 pistols and have to get 2 kills each to advance to the next weapon. Grab any shotgun and get 20 kills with that. I personally will mix the shotgun with Recon to get the T-UGS out of the way.

2) 'Hold the Trigger' - Finish top 5 in Gunmaster; 100 kills with Submachine guns - Unlocks M5K 
Finish in the top 5 of the new gametype 'Gun Master' (see roadmap for description of this gametype). Get 100 kills with any submachine guns which would be any PDW weapon, which can be used with any class. I personally am using the PP-19 from the Karkand expansion.
