Get kills with all 'Apocalypse' weapon variants in Battlefield 1. Learn how to unlock the RSC SMG and Howell Automatic.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Spawn into your team's airship in Air Assault mode, preferably on London Calling: Scourge or London Calling: Raiders, and look for enemy planes on your (minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen)) (a small radar (your minimap with nearby blips and threats marked) display on your HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap)).
  2. 2
    Prioritize targets flying directly towards your airship as they are easier to hit and appear larger.
  3. 3
    You may achieve kills incidentally, such as an enemy pilot crashing into your airship.
  4. 4
    To unlock the new weapons, complete the specific assignment tasks listed below.
  5. 5
    Alternatively, you can acquire a weapon from a fallen enemy player or a boosting partner.
Tips
  • Air Assault mode is more convenient for this trophy than Conquest or Operations due to the absence of infantry spawns, leading to more aircraft targets.
  • The RSC SMG (Factory variant) is an Assault class weapon, a Personal Defence Weapon (PDW) derived from the RSC 1917 semi-automatic rifle. It uses 8mm Lebel ammunition, has a three-hit kill range up to 20 metres (as of June 2018 update), fires at 449 RPM, and has a small eight-round magazine.
  • To unlock the RSC SMG (Factory variant), get 50 kills with the Assault class using any method (primary, secondary, melee, gadget, grenade, vehicle, or stationary). Spawning as a vehicle driver assigns you to the Tanker or Pilot class, not Assault.
  • The RSC SMG (Optical variant) features a basic optical sight with higher magnification options, improved aimed accuracy, but higher first-shot recoil and slower recoil recovery.
  • To unlock the RSC SMG (Optical variant), get 50 kills with the RSC SMG (Factory variant) and deal 300 vehicle damage with explosives in a single match. Use anti-tank rocket guns, mines, grenades, dynamite, or the anti-air rocket gun, potentially with the light anti-tank grenade equipped.
  • The Howell Automatic (Factory variant) is a Medic class weapon, a modified Enfield SMLE bolt-action rifle capable of semi-automatic fire. It has a 20-round detachable magazine, similar stats to the Farquhar-Hill (Turning Tides DLC (downloadable content — extra missions or items released after launch)) with a three-hit kill up to 54 metres, slightly higher vertical recoil but reduced horizontal recoil, better recoil recovery, and a bipod.
  • To unlock the Howell Automatic (Factory variant), get 50 kills with the Medic class using any method. Spawning as a vehicle driver assigns you to the Tanker or Pilot class, not Medic.
  • The Howell Automatic (Sniper variant) includes a scope, offering better stationary aimed accuracy but slower recoil and spread recovery.
  • To unlock the Howell Automatic (Sniper variant), get 50 kills with the Howell Automatic (Factory variant) and deal 300 vehicle damage with explosives in a single match.
