Hey pals, I've raised a question regarding this achievement glitch on EA, after chatting with Xbox and EA support. This should go to EA/DICE development team. Look at this thread and put a "me too" or "I have the same problem" into it to have some visibility. Feel free to add comments: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-4/Dragons-Teeth-Bulletp...

Finally, it unlocked last Tuesday, after 3 weeks of completion. Apparently was some issue in the Microsoft servers. I documented it it battlelog. Thanks @AFcRooster and all!

I unlocked this over the weekend. Had no issue completing the assignment and then just stood in the starting location and it popped.

You can also get this achievement by having a friend with the shield suicide and then pick up his kit to use it for the 5 minutes

Do you have to get the savior kills as an assault class or on a specific map? I have gotten at least 8 tonight and no progress in the kit is shown. still 0/5.

The Ballistic Shield is a new equipment/gadget for the Support Class. However, before you can begin using it, you will need to complete the Vanguard assignment. This assignment tasks you with the following requirements:

  • 5 Savior Kills.
  • 20 Suppression Assists.
  • Destroy 3 Explosives.

As you can see, these requirements are rather straightforward and can be completed in just about any gametype. As a general recommendation, I would suggest grabbing a hefty LMG from the Support Class to lay down covering fire as a Defender in a Rush match, in order to get your Suppression Assists out of the way quickly. Then, Savior Kills will most likely come naturally as you are working on the aforementioned Suppression Assists. Finally, destroying three explosives might require some patience or even some boosting as it is not always common for players to lay their claymores or C4 charges in noticeable areas around the map. Through experience, it seems as through players in Rush usually use these explosives more often than players in any other gametype.

Once you have completed these requirements for the assignment, you will in turn unlock the Ballistic Shield for the Support Class. All you have to do now is equip it during a match and either run around or sit tight for five minutes. Once the allotted time has passed, the achievement will unlock right away.

We tear off the shield, go into a grab, take the shield in our hands and move back where they won’t reach you. We wait 5 minutes and

I was one of the last to make the trophy.
The shield requires the "Vanguard" task, which includes "20 cases of suppression assistance."
Perhaps I didn’t play much, but all the time there were stupid zeros, I didn’t understand what to do.

It works like this. You must shoot past the enemy within 1 meter. During this time, the enemy will feel the effect of the screen dimming and the crosshair shifting. At this moment, someone NOT FROM YOUR SQUAD (or better yet not be in the squad at all) must kill the enemy.

If the skill in the game is weak, then this will really deliver.

What's the easiest way to do it?

1. Take a light machine gun and play on the maps “Connection”, “Team Fight” where a lot of people are working together. We just wander past into the crowd, without sticking out too much.
2. The easiest way to sit in the machine gunner's seat in an armored personnel carrier. We shoot above the enemy's head, and finish off the second player. In this case, suppression worked best.
