How to unlock the Test Your Mettle achievement in Battlefield Hardline - Definitive Guide

This isn't really a guide but a glitch that makes boosting this achievement a little quicker. While boosting this achievement, we discovered a way to cut down each match to just 1 round instead of a minimum 3.

When boosting this achievement, there are 2 squads of 5 people who will search for a match at the same time. Each match, one of the squads will kill themselves, ending the round quickly. This normally has to be done 3 times to actually complete a match. At the end of each match, everyone will have to quit and squad up again.

When the necessary amount of players have readied up, the round will begin. Everyone will spawn and a 5 second counter will appear before people can run around. We discovered that if everyone on one team kills themselves (redeploys) before the 5 second timer runs up, the match will end on that round, giving everyone credit for that match.

There were a couple instances where the achievement tracker didn't show any progress for that match when the glitch was done correctly, but after doing it again, the tracker updated to show progress from both matches.

Special thanks to xDaddy Cake, wenerdog, n00b1ets, MC IRV, MAGIC DANY91, Gbenga Ologun, Draco719, Darksora250, and Bomb 2 chest for discovering and testing out this glitch.

Below is a clip demonstrating how it works.

Eagle 0ne how have I copied your guide? My guide explain how to complete a match in 1 round instead of 3. Your guide doesn't mention how to do that, it says "seems like after 2 or 3 wins in a row."

For people who are saying the glitch doesn't work, are you sure you're doing it right? A lot of people in our session were saying it didn't work but they just weren't killing themselves fast enough.

No, it definitely does not work. When you're trying the method every round, you're bound to get it to work eventually (if it is in fact working). This was not the case and may have even contributed to missed progress for certain gamers in our session, although I cannot confirm that piece.

Sorry for a stupid question: Is it necessary to find 10 people to start a game? Or you just need 8 people at last then you can start?

By the way mine is xbox360 version.

The 'redeploy method' definitely works for 2 of the 3 games mode (I want to say Hostage and Rescue?). It doesn't work on the Crosshair game mode. In that mode each team has to win at least one of the rounds for the game to count on the achievement tracker. If your boosting group is on the ball the 25 matches will take between 2-3 hours to complete.

Make sure the 2 hosts are from the same region. We had a a Russian and US hosts and we could not match up. When we switched to 2 Us hosts we paired up instantly.

I’m currently in a session to boost this achievement and WE ARE NOT getting progress whenever we’re doing CROSSHAIR. We are only getting progression if we’re doing Rescue.

Huge shouout to Sprinky Dink, he's absolutely correct. One thing I want to mention, and it's pretty big, is that if everyone stays in the match after the Rescue/cops redeploy exploit, you will get a SECOND win! That's right, my boosting group noticed extra progress every time we stayed in the game and let the scoreboard show up before quitting out to search again. Keep that in mind, future boosting groups!

I know that if you try searching for people for a long time without any success, it will stop you from searching. Is that maybe what's happening to you? I've had no luck trying to find a match without boosting.

@ Proscaline I'm not sure what to say. I don't believe there was an update to disable this. We got it to work every time when we followed the steps properly. Whenever it didn't work it was because someone was a second too slow. I know that sometimes the achievement tracker wouldn't update for a match, but the next match it would jump up to where it was supposed to be. Maybe the issue was a combination of these two things?

@ZXEVA Unfortunately you do need 10 people.

I never got to finish mine, it stopped working pretty quick,couldn't find any games after 4th or 5th game long time ago. Always hoped they would fix this. I pre ordered everything so felt ripped off an never tried to 100% because of this achievement. Best battlefield game so it was a huge let down to be disappointed by it. It's like the company just gave up on it as soon as all dlcs got released..

Okay so I just finished a boosting session the other day and wanted to update on how we got the glitch working almost every game and how we got the VIP game mode to work towards the achievement counter. So whenever their is a rescue or a hostage mission, the team that is the POLICE is going to redeploy before the end of the 5 second counter. If done before the end of the five seconds you will 100 percent end the match that round. Once we figured out it had to be the police team we never once failed to get the glitch to work. For some reason however, the glitch does not work when playing the vip game mode. Instead what we did is we had the team that had the vip suicide. Then they would do it again, then the teams switch and the other team now is the team with vip. Now you could just have the first team suicide again and end it but that matches would never count for anyone, so what we did was have the new vip team suicide just like the firs. Then have the original team that died twice all redeploy with the exception of 1 person who will die a couple seconds after everyone else.. So basically it will be 2-0 and you want to make it 2-1 and then have the team with 2 wins lose with the vip suiciding a couple seconds after everyone else is dead. Doing this had VIP game mode count towards the achievement tracker. Not sure if it is because 1 team got a win or if it was because the vip has to die last but we did both just to make sure. With this method you can get all 25 matches done in an hour to an hour and a half if you do not have crashes.

On the main menu go to multiplayer there you will see a new icon called competitive match select this. You can do this without the dlc pack but you can only select standard match.

Simply complete 25 matches you don't need to win 25 just finish the match. This achievement will take about 10-15 hours due to the game type being a best of 9 rounds at 3 minutes per round plus sudden death if applicable

Getting this achievement is an excruciating. Matches start out as 5 v 5 but after the first round seem to always drop players to the point that you end up not having enough to 'ready up' and have to sit waiting for a 2 minute timer to count down.

The issue with the freezing depends on the server. If you get in a game and stay in there in the quick matches, it's fine. Searching for different matches like this, you're going to have a ton of issues.

Competitive doesnt require any dlc. So if the game wasnt dead people should be playing it. They arent so I would argue that yes, its dead.... and very broken

The dlc is dead the Base game modes and maps are not. People playing the game mostly are casual. Competitive is as it says competitive which most people aren't interested in playing often. So yes competitive mode is dead the Base game and it's modes and maps certainly aren't dead.

The game is pretty fucked up. I can only enter games manually through server browser and not quickjoin now, can't get into any competitive matches and i'd say 50% of the time when playing matches I have the game crash in first 30 seconds as mentioned previously.

Got a pretty stable internet connection and regularly play Rainbow Six: Siege now and was playing Titanfall consistently earlier in the year with no trouble.

Shame as for all it's faults, it's my favourite BF game when it works, certainly better than 4 and the BC games IMO.
