I am working on the ribbon of suppression for BF1 on PS4. The ribbon says to get 7 suppression assists in a round. I have gotten over 7 many times but still do not have the ribbon. It is the only ribbon i do not have. Below are links to images of my getting 8 suppression assists in a round and another image of the ribbon I still do not have. I have tried doing it many times. I have even got 11 in a round and still nothing. I have tried multiple classes and multiple guns and still nothing. Please fix… PSN - gocubbies ---

suppression doesn’t seem to work for tracking as I think i didn’t get this ribbon and the suppresion medal also, because I didn’t get credit for suppression. ---

Oh, yeah, must be a bug. EA support told me to post about it in the forums. But others have posted in the bugs forums about the same thing and have gotten no reply’s and they clearly haven’t fixed it yet. I do know that squad assists do not count for the medal. I do have that one. ---

I’m getting a similar issue with the ‘Hero Of Russia’ medal. Killed a load of players with the ‘In The Name Of The Tsar’ assualt weapon but nothing tracks in game. ---

Had no problem getting it,7assists is quite much though. Only got it 9 times so far. For the hero of russua medal you have to be in the white army,red army doesnt count. ---

Thank you, I hadn’t thought of that. DICE, it wouldn’t have taken much effort to explain the above ☹ ---

Yeah, but i have sent EA and DICE screenshots of me getting 8 suppression assists and 11 suppression assists at the end of a round. It even says you got 8 (best) out of everyone, yet no ribbon. Are you playing on ps4? I have got over 7 suppression assists at least 10 times now using different classes and still it hasn’t shown up. ---

I am on ps4 yes. I cant unlock a codex entry where you have to disable a behemoths engine. I destroyed more then 100 behemoths probably,pretty sure its a bug. Maybe its similar for you,i dont know. ---

I have same problem. Many times I have got 7+ in a round but not awarded the ribbon. ---

> [@boysweek](#): > > I have same problem. Many times I have got 7+ in a round but not awarded the ribbon. I really hope they fix this. this is the last ribbon i need. If you think about it, it is really a pointless ribbon. You are purposely not trying to kill people. I get 8 kills and 25 deaths and 11 suppression assists. YAY!!! ---

I think the eor summed up Squad + Team and maybe the ribbon requires team ? Only an idea i have no actual idea how it works but i have quite a few suppression ribbons already (6). ---

It seems to count only every second surpression. So just do twice as many. Play a long mode like frontlines or operations if needed ---

I’ve got it (XB1) so it’s definitely possible if you keep at it. I have terrible aim so perhaps that helps? ---

Only an idea i have no actual idea how it works but i have quite a few suppression ribbons already (6). Yeah I think that is what is wrong, probably the ribbon of suppression is team only, squad don’t count. Same with squad avenger kills ribbon: the end of round screen shows ALL avenger kills. ---

In case anybody doesn’t know: ‘Ribbon of Suppression’ requires suppression assists with team mates and the ‘Ribbon of Sacred Unity’ requires suppression assists with squad mates. ---

I’ve got the Ribbon of Suppression 4 times without thinking about it, but I’m a support main who loves the MG15. I shoot at everything after spotting first and I rack up suppression assists without trying. Just spot distant enemies and pepper them until some picks them off. Much easier than missing on purpose.
