Part 2

Guide to Battlefield 1 multiplayer trophies including World War One Hero (Platinum), Operations (Bronze), Counter-Sniper (Bronze), and Play the Objective (Bronze).

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    01 World War One Hero [Platinum]: Obtain all 31 base game trophies. Trophies from expansion packs (DLC (downloadable content — extra missions or items released after launch)) are not required.
  2. 2
    02 Operations [Bronze/10G]: Win 1 Operation in multiplayer. Operations is a showcase mode where matches span multiple maps and can last over an hour. It plays like a hybrid of Rush and Conquest. Attackers must capture bases with two objectives on each map. The attacking team has a limited number of respawn (be brought back to life at a checkpoint after death) tickets. If they deplete these before capturing the current base, they must try again with Behemoth support (e.g., armoured train). Attackers lose if they fail three times. At launch, the base game featured four Operations: Kaiserschlacht, Conquer Hell, Iron Walls, and Oil of Empires. You only need to win one. Originally, 40-player and 64-player servers were available, but the 20v20 option was removed in the October 2017 update. The June 2018 patch added Shock Operations (40 players on a single map), which may not count towards this trophy; stick to standard Operations.
  3. 3
    03 Counter-Sniper [Bronze/10G]: Using a bolt-action rifle, kill an enemy Scout in multiplayer. Sniper rifles are exclusive to the Scout class. Your starting weapon is the SMLE* Mk.III (Marksman variant), but any bolt-action rifle, including the Russian 1895 lever-action rifle, can be used. The trophy pops upon getting the Counter Sniping bonus (25 pts) for killing an enemy Scout while playing as a Scout. You should also get the 'Camouflage' codex entry. There is no minimum distance requirement. Look for the glint of a sniper scope to counter-snipe or flank for an instant kill with a headshot (a shot that lands on the enemy's head, usually an instant kill). *"SMLE" stands for "Short, Magazine, Lee-Enfield".
  4. 4
    04 Play the Objective* [Bronze/10G]: Complete 25 Squad Orders in multiplayer. The squad leader, marked with a star in the squad list, can place an order on an objective by aiming at the objective marker and tapping R1 (RB on Xbox) or holding R1 and selecting "Order Squad" followed by the objective label (A, B, C, etc.). Squad orders cannot be given or completed in Team Deathmatch mode. The order is indicated by four flashing green marks on the objective marker and text on the left side of your screen. The squad order is completed by successfully performing an action on the marked objective, such as capturing a Conquest flag.
Tips
  • For trophy #01, trophies from expansion packs (DLC) are not required for the Platinum.
  • For trophy #02, stick with standard Operations mode rather than Shock Operations to ensure the trophy counts.
  • For trophy #03, any bolt-action rifle can be used, including the Russian 1895.
  • For trophy #04, squad orders can only be completed in objective-based game modes like Conquest, not Team Deathmatch.

Part 3

Learn how to become a squad leader in Battlefield 1, understand attack/defend orders, and master the general and class progression systems for unlocking weapons and gadgets.

Becoming a Squad Leader:

  1. Create a New Squad: Open the squad menu (Square/X) from the respawn screen, select 'Leave Squad' then 'Create Squad'. Set it to 'public' for others to join.
  2. Request Order (Hardline Feature): Hold R1/RB to open the commo-rose and select 'Request Order'. If the current leader gives no orders for 60 seconds, you'll be promoted.
  3. Direct Request (Voice Chat): If using a mic, ask the current squad leader to promote you via the squad menu ('Manage Squad' > select you > 'Promote Player').

Issuing Orders:

  • Attack Order: Placed on a neutral or enemy-controlled objective. Completed when your team captures it.
  • Defend Order: Placed on a friendly objective. Completed if your team retains control for one minute.

Orders grant an XP bonus upon completion and can be completed regardless of squad presence or proximity. Be proactive in monitoring objectives and issuing appropriate orders.

General Progression:

  • BF1 uses an XP-based system for levelling. You start at Rank 0 and progress through numbered ranks by accumulating XP.
  • Your progress is shown on the Soldier tab (main menu) and Personal tab (end-of-round screen), including an estimated time to the next rank based on your Score Per Minute (SPM).
  • The original level cap was Rank 100, requiring 20 million XP.

Warbonds:

  • Warbonds are a currency earned by levelling up your general multiplayer rank, used to unlock weapons and gadgets.
  • You earn 90 warbonds per rank-up from Rank 2 to Rank 70.
  • To earn 450 warbonds for the 'Warbonds' trophy/achievement, you need to reach Rank 6 (55,000 XP total).
  • Primary weapons typically cost 200 warbonds, sidearms 150, and gadgets/grenades 60. Some items are also locked behind class ranks.
  • You stop earning warbonds after Rank 70, as you'll have enough for all base game unlocks. DLC unlocks are via assignments.

Corporal Trophy/Achievement:

  • Requires reaching Rank 10 in multiplayer.
  • This needs a total of 145,000 XP (55,000 for Rank 6 + 90,000 more).

Class Progression:

  • There are four standard infantry classes: Medic, Assault, Support, and Scout.
  • Additional classes include Tanker, Pilot, Cavalry, and Elite classes.
  • Each class has its own rank, separate from the overall multiplayer rank.
  • XP is earned for a class by playing with it. Your class can be overridden if you spawn directly into a vehicle or as a special class (Tanker, Pilot, Cavalry).

Learn how to quickly rank up your Assault and Medic classes in Battlefield 1. Discover weapon stats, gadget strategies, and XP farming tips to achieve rank 2 and unlock new gear.

This section details how to progress through class ranks in Battlefield 1, focusing on earning XP and unlocking new weapons and gadgets. It covers the Assault and Medic classes specifically, including their unique roles, starting weapons, and available equipment.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Class Ranks and Unlocks: View progress from the main menu under Soldier \ Weapons & Gadgets. Some weapons and gadgets are locked by class rank and can be purchased with warbonds at ranks 1, 2, or 3. The maximum rank was initially 10, later raised to 50 in February 2017. Reaching rank 50 unlocks new dogtags and killcard flair.
  2. 2
    Assault Class (07 Assault Enlistment): Requires 100,000 XP to reach rank 2. This class is a close-quarters and anti-vehicle specialist. Starting weapon: MP18 (Trench variant) SMG (550 RPM, 4-hit kill to 12m, 5-hit kill to 22m). Gadgets include AT hand grenade, anti-tank rocket gun, dynamite, and unlockable anti-tank mines. Primary weapons from Tanker and Pilot classes (Frommer Stop Auto, Sawed-Off Shotgun) can be unlocked for Assault.
  3. 3
    Medic Class (08 Medic Enlistment): Requires 90,000 XP to reach rank 2. This class uses self-loading (semi-auto) rifles similar to DMRs. Starting weapon: Cei-Rigotti (Factory variant) (up to 299 RPM, 3-hit kill to 54m), which can switch to automatic fire. Reloading mechanics vary for rifles without detachable magazines. Gadgets include medical syringe, medical crate, bandage pouch, and rifle grenade (fragmentation, HE, and SMK variants unlockable). Bandage and ammo pouches can be thrown to teammates.

Tips:

  • XP can be farmed by entering vehicles or mounting horses, with XP credited to your infantry class.
  • Medic class players can earn significant points by consistently using healing gadgets.
  • Press R1/RB (or equivalent) when prompted to throw bandage or ammo pouches to teammates.
