Currently I’m working on Thompson mastery vii which is “get 10 kills hip firing while on an objective in one life” or 20 in a round. I heard something about there is a third hidden objective that is to get 60 total. Is this confirmed? I have once unlocked a skin without doing the objectives so it may be some bug?
Play domination you’ll get it done before you know it.and yes I got my selb1906 gold by getting more than 60 head shots on objectives.
yeah I seem to get the completion of masteries at random times. I wish that counter was visible
After last patch I have even occasionally seen an indicator filling up the circle around the assignment after a round. It clearly had two sections. One white with ‘old’ kills and one colored (I’m color blind…) for the kills I did last round. In my case it was for the recon M8 rifle which requires 10 hs kills in objective areas in a life OR 20 hs kills in objective areas in a round. The M8 is easily the hardest gun to play in the game for me so far as it has a unique combination of low damage (it is not OHK on head), low fire rate, low bullet speed and a small mag which takes forever to load (puts in one bullet at a time). To do the assignment you need 20 head shots in a life (in objective areas) or 40 in a round, quite a challenge…
I’m currently on the finally mastery for the M1A1 and RSC. I managed 8 hs in one life with the RSC before being blown up by a V2. No secret unlock as of yet. The semi autos are definitely the hardest final mastery to complete. Haven’t really struggled with any of the others yet.
I’ve had four or five hidden masteries completed at around 60 kills for some SMGs and Semi-Autos.
Yes hidden 60 for all last part masteries. No clue why its not visible as third option.
This helps mainly less skilled players to know that one day they will get those gold camos.
But smgs, lmgs, mmgs are easy to do. All golden already including new ones.
Assault semi auto rifles are total pain and here the hidden 60 limit is very handy.
Assault semi-autos are cake compared to any recon weapon with the stupid “while prone” and “kill enemies inside objective areas” assingments.
It’s either “headshot kill 10 in one life” or “headshot kill 20 in one round”, which is just undoable for an average player.
Not only do they promote an utterly useless playstyle (“WHILE PRONE”), but they are just not doable, as going prone means that you’ll die in the next 2 seconds.
I would not say easy on any of these. Even a fairly skilled player will have problems doing 10 in a life or 20 in a round when it is specified beyond just kills. There are not many that average a 10 K/D as infantry, or even 5, especially if all kills has to be head shots or just generally done in cap areas. Most players do not even do 20 kills of any sort in a round of conquest. At least not on PC.
I agree, and I’m fairly decent. I’ve gotten a bunch of those Proficiency challenges for 4 headshots in a life on objective areas, but 10 is stretching it unless you have a full squad backing you and picking you up. In comparison, 10 hipfire kills in a life on objective areas with SMGs are way easier, I’ve gotten a few of those, but you have to play careful, so unless the circumstances are perfect, I’m not really trying that. Also 20 per round can be really hard, many times I’ve come just short, since the rounds tend to be over just a bit too fast. So the hidden counters are welcome.
But thing is that we dont know if hidden counter is a bug or a thing and if Dice will fix it or not. So rather do as much masteries as possible till its working. 
Headshots in objective areas are most difficult ones which i cant do in 1 round.
All medic, support guns and assault rifles done already. Far easier.
But semi autos and slrs all sitting on all last golden part - headshots in objective area.
good to know i’ll try to get my last ag m/42 part this way
the 20 smg hipfire kills can be done on C on aerodome, if you’re not really unlucky with how the match goes. But the 20 headshots in objective areas for semi automatic rifles is haaard. Mine unlocked by an unknown objective, could be that I had around 60 all in all.
Play Devastation on B, you’ll get that in a round NP.
Its true though there is definitely a cumulative method for the final mastery assignments to unlock.
I hate some of these assignments. Some of them are easy, more or less. But the zh-29 mastery VI is ridiculous for me. This gun is 2 Shot kill. There is no real reason to aim for the head. To make it more frustrating its just in flag areas. I mean, how am I supposed to make 20 headshots in these areas in one single game?
the assignment is open since a month I think but never achieved it.
I don’t know if it’s easier on PC but on Console it seems impossible for me
I swear that some of those masteries are made in a way so that some people will feel they need to buy a second copy of BF5 to run on another PC so they can boost themselves to do it.
.
I am glad the hidden objective reduces the chance my tinfoil hat theory above is correct.
i can confirm that!
did it with ag m/42 today
This seems to be fixed after the last patch and doesnt work for me anymore. Can someone confirm? I made more than 100 HS on objectives with g43 but didnt unlock the last mastery. with agm it worked for me last week.
I don’t think it was changed, it wasn’t mentioned in the patch notes. Are you sure they were on objectives/you were on the objective when you got the kill?
I think they’ll keep it there, as some of the assignments are near impossible for even an above-average player because they often require multiple things (eg headshot kills while in an objective area/prone/enemy is in an objective area) combined with the high number of kills required in either a life or a round. The 60 is good for ones that don’t have a cumulative challenge, because it means if you get close to the 20 in a round 4 times spyou should unlock it (or close in three then a few in the fourth).
I am totally sure i was on object, because it counts everytime on the leftside of the screen. but as i mentioned: i killed over 100 with HS on objectives so far, but i cant get the assignment done. so i believe they changed it, without mentioned it on the patch notes
