Batwing~SPARTA~ Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) I am quite a noobie for this kind of games getting a bit of unlocks very slowly but it seems I can t use them. I am actually playing as Engineer and I am hiding myself inside a solid Tank I got the Coax MG unlock for primary weapon and I got a Better Zoom unlock for secondary weapon. Neither one seems working or maybe I don t know how activate them I didn t find any way to 'activate" them either. I got the unlocks while playing in M1 Abrams, then I tried when switcherd team and I was in T-90. I suppose the unlock is valid both sides but I don t have a MG on my cannon neither I can Zoom 3x on the Secondary. Any idea or suggestions? The unlocks are there on my profile page and I own them. EDIT Perhaps I got the solution. I am at the office and I can t try it yet. For some 'obvious" reason I was assuming the simplest thing in the universe, such as, LMB fires Cannon, RMB fires MG, but is not like that. It is possible the LMG is labelled as Second weapon clicking 2, then fired with LMB anyway. It seems RMB cannot be binded to fire the LMG because it works to switch optics...

Pringle~SPARTA~ Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 You can add these unlocks to your load out when you're down or between matches (or is it just between matches?). Haven't played since the beta so don't really remember details. As for their use, many are specific to a weapon which is, of course, specific to the side you're playing on. So, you won't use all unlocks on both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batwing~SPARTA~ Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) I don t think the vehicle unlocks have to be activated on my loadout. I tried because i thought that too, but when I look for any perks or extra stuff to activate, there is nothing. So it just should be on the Tank when I jump in, as an automatic thing. These specific unlocks are not like the optics for a rifle or the choice between Mines or ATs, which need to be activated on the loadout.

I personally haven't even been in a BF3 vehicle yet, so wouldn't know how to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebden~SPARTA~ Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Batwing-there is a sub-menu when looking at loadouts for your regular kits then land and air. Select land, and it should show the relevant categories for your map. Also-unlocks might be specific to each vehicle and each side, same as weapon unlocks. Not sure. However, once there you'd click over for each perk or gadget the same as for your character. The keys seem to vary a little, but it's starting to make sense. Example-once you have unlocked and equipped the tank zoom, it's the same as optical zoom: RMB. Your coax is like a second weapon. click 2 or F to switch. This is different from BC2, (or was it in BF2?) where you could both fire the main gun and coax simultaneously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlarmedBread Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I stand corrected, the Dr. Pepper promo Wolf shirt dog tag will definitely get you laid, careful how you use it or you'll have no time to play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew they'd have something for a game that didn't suck eventually. Edit: Scratch that, this is now my dog tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchman~SPARTA~ Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Anyone else seen this? - JHunter Yep. Just about every weapon, that has unlocks, has a "Dice employee" extra. I just got the SCAR-H for engineer class and that has a 12x scope for Dice guys. Also read on another forum that only scopes over 4x magnification have scope glint. Useful to know, if it's correct, anyone else read / know of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebden~SPARTA~ Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Scope glint? If you mean scope-drift, I saw that on one of the text-hints in between maps. Only higher power scopes have the drift, which I suspect also means that only higher power scopes are steadied with default L Shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, glint as in reflection off the scope lens, giving away position: A snipers nightmare. The post I read suggest this only happens with scopes over 4x mag, hence the poster was equiping his M110 with ACOG only. Useful trick if it's correct.

PANiC Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 ^ it's true but i hate the acog wouldn't want to use a 4x scope or less when sniping though. i'll just grab the scope info from battlelog Scope reflection Ballistic 12x rifle scope (x6) pks-07 (7x) No reflection reflex (rds) holo acog (4x) m145 (3.4x) kobrs rds pka-s holo pso-1 (4x) pk-a (3.4x) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchman~SPARTA~ Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Does it reflect no matter what time of day it is, no matter where you are hiding? Well I've seen scope glare in the tunnels on Metro, so it doesn't need sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
