Let me guess, you didn’t do the 10 periscope spots first? There is a glitch in all of these unlocks where you have to do the requirement involving a certain amount of kills in a round second, otherwise the progress doesn’t save.

I am on 1 of 10 Periscope spots which is a pain. I use the periscope to see the enemy and when they get killed by a teammate it does not register as a spot. Is that not how that works?

It should count. I got it in about 5 minutes. Just do it on the Fort map—you look kind of silly running around in there with a periscope, but it works.

You should get a little notification for “PERISCOPE SPOT” when a guy you spotted dies. It’s a little confusing, there is an invisible cooldown on the periscope. So you can’t just spot, spot, spot, spot the while enemy team.

If you spot a guy, and he gets spotted, and also a red outline around him, then THAT’S the periscope spot working.

But if you spot him and he DOESN’T get the red outline, even when looking through the scope, it won’t count as a “periscope” spot, just a regular one

Then listen to the others. Do the TP spots first and then get your headshots.

Play Scoissons frontlines as the Germans. You can complete the whole thing in less than 10 minutes defending the terminals from atop that hill behind the train.

The “in a round” assignments always reset at the end of the round. So what you need to do is complete the other part of the assignment first (the periscope spots) and then do the 5 headshots in a round or whatever it is. It should complete immediately that way. It’s bugged.

Cool…i thought it was something i was doing wrong rather than a bug in the game. Fun times!
