How It Works

Battlefield 1 has received 4 multiplayer expansions over time - They Shall Not Pass, In the Name of the Tsar, Turning Tides and Apocalypse. All include new maps, armies, game modes and, most importantly, weapons.

Each expansion comes with an achievement to get a single kill with every weapon from their respective expansion. There are 2 primary methods that can be followed. The slower method is about completing Weapon Assignments tied to individual weapons. Every Weapon Assignment is comprised of 2 objectives that vary in difficulty. Most objectives task you with killing "x" number of enemies with a particular weapon. When that's the case, jump in to Team Deathmatch or Frontline game modes, as those modes have a higher enemy encounter rate. Some objectives are grindy, some are skill-based, some luck-based. Even if you have friends at your side, it's going to take some time.

However, you do not actually need to unlock each weapon. As the achievements clearly state, you only have to get a kill with them. The faster method is to find a player, who already has the desired weapon unlocked, follow them until they die and drop their loadout for you to pick up. It's certainly faster, only encountering a player, who already has all weapons unlocked, can be quite rare.

They Shall Not Pass

Assault Class:

Sjögren Inertial Factory

Perform 50 kills with the Model 10-A Slug
In a round, perform 15 kills with the M97 Trench Gun Hunter

One of the easiest weapon assignments. Both objectives require kills with rather powerful shotguns, so prefer combat at close quarters (such as Fort De Vaux or Argonne Forest). Ribeyrolles 1918 Factory

Perform 50 kills with the Automatico M1918 Factory
Perform 20 headshots with the MP 18 Optical

As a starter weapon, MP 18 is an all-around versatile SMG while Automatico M1918 is more suited in mid to close range.

Medic Class

RSC 1917 Factory

Perform 50 kills with the M1907 SL Sweeper
Perform 50 revives

RSC 1917 Optical

In a round, perform 15 kills with the Autoloading 8 .35 Factory
Perform 75 heals

To get more heals in a single match, use a Medical Crate rather than Bandage Pouches since crates heal multiple players at once.

Support Class

Chauchat Low Weight

Perform 50 kills with the Lewis Gun Suppressive
Perform 75 resupplies

Similiarly to Medic, use Ammo Crates to Ammo Pouches. Chauchat Telescopic

In a round, perform 15 kills with the M1909 Benet-Mercie Telescopic
Perform 10 kills with the mortar

Support Class has access to 2 types of mortars - AIR and HE. AIR Mortars deliver moderate damage to a big area, while HE Mortars deliver huge damage to a small area. HE Mortars are also effective against armored vehicles.

Once you deploy a mortar, you have 5 mortar shells available. After a brief cooldown, you may set up another mortar with 5 new mortar shells. Be aware that when firing a mortar, you are visible to enemy players on the minimap.

Scout Class

Lebel Model 1886 Sniper

In a round, perform 5 headshots with the Russian 1895 Sniper
Perform 10 periscope spot assists

A Trench Periscope is a gadget exclusive to Scout Class. It needs to be bought with War Bonds and it highlights enemy players for a few seconds. A periscope spot assist is awarded when an enemy you have marked with your Trench Periscope is killed shortly afterwards by your teammate.

The default key for tagging enemies on PC is "Q".

Lebel Model 1886 Infantry

Perform 50 kills with the Gewehr M.95 Infantry
Perform 20 spot flare assists

A Flare Gun is another gadget exclusive to Scout Class. Scouts have access to 2 types of Flare Gun - Spot and Flash. In order to complete the second objective, Flare Gun - Spot variant is required.

Fire the Flare Gun in the general vicinity of a group of enemies. Search for enemy spawns and/or Conquest Objectives. A spot flare assist is awarded when an enemy you have marked with your Flare Gun - Spot is killed shortly afterwards by your teammate.

In the Name of the Tsar

Assault Class

Model 1900 Factory

Perform 40 kills with the M97 Trench Gun Backbored
In a round, perform 5 kills with the AT Rocket Gun

AT Rocket Gun is a standard anti-tank rifle. To complete the second objective, shooting infantry usually results in a one-shot kill. Alternatively, try searching for damaged enemy tanks or vehicles with light armor as you only have 5 AT bullets, which is usually not enough to destroy a tank at full health. Model 1900 Slug

Perform 50 kills with the 12G Automatic Extended
Perform 20 kills with the Gasser M1870 Pistol

SMG 08/18 Factory

Perform 15 kills with the MP 18 Trench
Perform 10 kills with the Anti-Tank Grenade

SMG 08/18 Optical

Perform 50 Kills with the Automatico M1918 Trench
Destroy 5 tanks with the Anti-Tank Mine

The second objective of this Weapon Assignment is tremendously luck-based. Chances of an enemy Tanker driving over your mines are slim, as mines can be easily spotted, tagged on minimap, destroyed or avoided. The objective also only counts eliminating enemy tanks - i.e. Artillery Trucks or Armored Cars do not count for the progression.

If that wasn't enough, a tank must be fully destroyed. Not disabled, destroyed. Thankfully, a tank at full health can usually withstand only about 2 AT mines, so I'd recommend placing them in tight clusters. But where?

Choosing at random won't work, especially when you're playing on an open map such as Caporetto or Passchendaele. However, there are certain maps where an enemy vehicle is guaranteed to pass through. I've outlined a few hotspots where I had the most luck.

Amiens: Disregarding which side are you on, the central bridges on C and D are always a good spot for AT mines.

Tsaristyn: You have a much better chance in tight streets near A and C than the open space around B.

Medic Class

Fedorov Avtomat Optical

Perform 50 kills with the Selbastlader M1916 Optical
Perform 20 Kills with the C96 Pistol

Fedorov Avtomat Trench

Perform 40 Kills with the Cei-Rigotti Trench
Perform 40 squad heals

A squad heal is performed when you heal a player in your squad. General Liu Rifle Factory

Perform 40 kills with the Mondragon Storm
Perform 30 squad revives

A squad revive is performed when you revive a player in your squad using the syringe. General Liu Rifle Storm

Perform 50 kills with the Autoloading 8 .35 Marksman
Perform 30 kills with the Rifle Grenade FRG

Support Class Parabellum MG14/17 Low Weight

Destroy 2 airplanes with LMGs
Perform 20 killes with the Mortar Airburst

Many players seem to have problems accomplishing the first objective. Start by equiping an LMG with a large magazine, e.g. The Lewis Gun. Then, gather other Supports and concentrate your fire at enemy bombarders. They are slow and can't maneuver very well. Parabellum MG14/17 Suppresive

Perform 40 kills with the Lewis Gun Low Weight
Perform 50 vehicle repairs

Perino Model 1908 Defensive

Perform 50 kills with the Bar M1918 Storm
Perform 20 kills with the Repetierpistole M1912 Pistol

Perino Model 1908 Low Weight

Perform 40 kills with the MG15 n.A. Low Weight
In a round, perform 10 squad resupplies

Scout Class Mosin-Nagant M91 Infantry

In a round, perform 3 headshot kills with the SMLE MkIII Infantry
Perform 20 kills with the Mars Automatic Pistol

Mosin-Nagant M91 Marksman

Perform 50 kills with the Gewehr 98 Marksman
Perform 15 kills with the Tripwire Bomb HE

Vetterli-Vitali M1870/87 Carbine

Perform 50 kills with the SMLE MkIII Carbine
Destroy 1 vehice with K bullets

K bullets are most effective against Armored Cars. Vetterli-Vitali M1870/87 Infantry

Perform 15 kills with the M1903 Experimental
Perform 20 periscope spot assists

Sidearms Nagant Revolver

Perform 20 kills with the Luger P08 pistol

Obrez Pistol

In a round, perform 5 kills with the MLE 1903 Pistol

Pilot/Tanker C93 Carbine

Perform 40 kills with the FT Light Tank

Turning Tides

Assault Class

Maschinenpistole M1912

Perform 50 kills with Automatico M1918 Storm
Destroy 5 boats with the AT Rocket Gun

At first glance, destroying boats with the AT Rocket Gun seems to be almost impossible as AT projectiles travel very slow. Luckily, this objective can be completed in a matter of minutes.

Search for a match of Operations on Cape Helles and spawn as the defenders (Ottoman Empire). Try looking for a match that's just about to start. Select Assualt Class and equip the AT Rocket Gun. Next, take cover overlooking the beach. The attackers (The British Empire) use small, low-HP landing crafts as spawn points. They can only take about 3 AT shots and count towards the completion of the objective.

Perform 15 kills with sidearms
Perform 5 multikills

To perform a multikill, kill 4 or more enemies in quick succession. Try targeting tanks, armored cars or boats with full crews or lob a grenade at areas with high concentration of enemies.

Medic Class

Farquhar-Hill Storm

Perform 25 kills with the M1907 SL Trench
In a round, perform 10 revives

Farquhar-Hill Optical

Perform 25 headshots with the Farquhar-Hill Storm
Complete 20 squad orders

Upon entering a new match, join any Squad or create a new one. A Squad Leader has the ability to give orders to everyone in their Squad to either Attack or Defend an objective. Completing orders rewards bonus XP.

As a Squad Leader, give out orders by holding "Q".

Support Class

M1917 MG Low Weight

Perform 25 kills with the BAR M1918 Trench
Perform 250 vehicle damage using explosives

M1917 MG Telescopic

Perform 50 kills with the M1917 MG Low Weight
Perform 1500 points of suppression with any LMG

Suppression points are awarded when shooting near enemies. Becoming suppressed temporarily blurres your vision. You should complete this objective naturally as you play the game.

Scout Class

Type 38 Arisaka Infantry

Perform 25 counter sniping kills
As a scout, perform 3 multikills

A counter-sniping kill is perfomed by killing an enemy Scout as a Scout yourself.

Getting 3 multikills as a Scout can be quite inconvenient. I'd recommend playing on servers with 200% bullet damage as this makes any shot from a sniper rifle a one-hit-kill. Also, try using K-bullets as they can easily destroy light-armored vehicles.

Carcano M91 Carbine

Perform 25 kills with the Gewehr M.95 Carbine
Destroy 5 explosives

Be on a lookout for enemy land mines or tripwire bombs and shoot at them from a safe distance.

Melee

Naval Cutlass

Capture 20 flags while in a boat
Perform 15 kills on swimming enemies

Capturing flags while in a boat might be the hardest objective in the game. Not only very few flags are capturable by boat, you become very exposed and quite defenseless to enemy fire. Fortunately, there is a very easy workaround. Go to Server Browser and select Full Filter on the right. Then, enable the following filters:

Game Modes - Conquest
Maps - Albion, Zeebrugge, Heligoland Bight
Advanced - Disable Pre-round ON
Slots - ALL

Now, look for an empty server. Since you are playing on a server with pre-rounds disabled, you are able to start a match on your own, without having to wait for the minimal required number of players.

If this wasn't enough, the second objective requires 15 kills on swimming enemies. Not to mention you must be extremely lucky to encounter a swimming enemy and get a good shot on them. The best chance you got is Operations on Zeebrugge as the defenders. If your team is doing very poorly, you will eventually reach the last line of defense on land. There is a section of a broken down bridge where the attackers have no choice but to swim across, giving you plenty of opportunities for quick and easy kills.

NOTE: the Ottoman Kilij was added in a later update and thus does not count towards the achievement.
