Part 25

Master the Maître d'Armes trophy in Battlefield 1! Learn how to unlock and use the RSC 1917, Lebel Model 1886, Chauchat, Ribeyrolles 1918, and Sjögren Inertial.

Alright, let's talk about getting your hands on some of the new French weapons from the They Shall Not Pass DLC. This section is all about the 'Maître d'Armes' trophy, which requires you to snag at least one kill with each of the five new primary weapons. Don't worry, it sounds tougher than it is!

First off, these new guns aren't bought with warbonds like most of the base game gear. Instead, you'll need to complete specific assignments. The good news is that all the requirements for all assignments are always active, so you can work on them whenever you want. You can track your progress in a few places: on the Weapons & Gadgets screen, on the Customize screen during a match, or by keeping an eye out for the brief on-screen updates when you complete an assignment action.

Important Note: If you don't have the required weapons or gadgets for an assignment, you might need to spend warbonds to unlock them, or even rank up your class level. Make sure you're using the correct variant of each weapon too!

Pro Tip: Can't wait to unlock these? You can pick up kills with these DLC weapons by finding them on fallen enemies in a match. If a friend has them unlocked, they can equip them, and you can grab them after they die. Kills with these 'pickup' weapons absolutely count towards the trophy!

The Five French DLC Weapons:

• Medic Class: RSC 1917 (self-loading rifle)
• Scout Class: Lebel Model 1886 (bolt-action rifle)
• Support Class: Chauchat (light machinegun)
• Assault Class: Ribeyrolles 1918 (automatic carbine)
• Assault Class: Sjögren Inertial (semi-auto shotgun)

Unlocking the RSC 1917 (Medic):

The RSC 1917 is a semi-auto rifle that fires slower than other self-loading rifles at 179 RPM, but it packs a punch with a two-hit kill potential up to 70 meters. It only holds six rounds, but it reloads with a clip, which is pretty convenient.

To unlock it, you'll need to complete these two tasks:

1. Get 50 kills with the M1907 SL (Sweeper variant). This rifle costs 200 warbonds and can be set to semi-auto or full-auto at 299 RPM. It has a large magazine (20+1 rounds) and a standard three-hit kill up to 38 meters. Remember, assists that count as kills also contribute to your total.
2. Revive 50 teammates using the syringe gadget. This gadget is available by default, and fallen teammates needing a revive will show up on your minimap with skull and crossbones icons.
