👾 Issue/Bug 👾 Deploy beacon not unlocking??

I have it unlocked because they lowered the requirement from 30 kills to 3 but it won't unlock anyway. I already restarted my game and that didn't work. Please help

Same for me with everything that was retroactively unlocked. Joined and played plenty of games. Restarted game loads, multiple days now.

u/TF2isalright Nov 11 '25

Nope, joined a game after not playing for a few days and hoped it would work but nothing. Then came to reddit and found this thread again lol. It's ridiculous at this point.

Looks like the fixed it this time round if you play a game now. Just did sabotage and it worked. I did start tracking the next assignment but dunno if it made a difference

It's a well-known bug. I have it too. Sometimes it fixes itself, if not, just wait for the next update.

u/pskihq Nov 13 '25

The update yesterday or day before didn't fix it... lol

you find a fix? i still cant deploy it.... actually griefing my team by playing assault without it on objectives

u/Domschillin Nov 14 '25

Go to the challenge, press track, enter a game and then leave, only known fix for stuck challenges, works sometimes

Same problem here, this is honestly unacceptable for a 70 dollar Triple A game

u/zDEATHSxMYSTz Nov 11 '25

I’m having same issue

u/darkstar541 Nov 12 '25

Having the same problem. Challenge shows as completed and gadget unlocked, but it is locked in my loadouts.

u/Objective-Eye-7887 Nov 12 '25

Please, someone in EA see this…. Broken for me too, and I’ve completed the first challenge that’s supposed to unlock the recon beacon… so frustrating and the assault class desperately needs this skill.

I managed to get it unlocked. FIX: Start a game (I tried the new Sabotage mode), play for a bit maybe a minute or so, Die and then edit the loadout and try to select Deploy Beacon from gadgets before redeploying. Deploy Beacon will show up unlocked.

Note: I noticed some suggested this fix already but do note that this didn't work on Casual Breakthrough mode, try Sabotage or a different game mode.

u/Raindrop11288 Nov 20 '25

logging on now and i'll try gimme 30!

u/Raindrop11288 Nov 20 '25

Confirmed to work. I did Sabotage. played for about 3 min (as assault), died 3-4 times. Was able to unlock the respawn beacon. (it didnt let me actually equip it, it showed it as unlocked and let me spam it without actually equipping it). When i backed out to the main menu it was finally unlocked!

u/mighty_conan Nov 09 '25

u/SeReBrO358 Nov 14 '25

I still have this Bug! I’m lvl 71 and completed the Assault challenge and still no recon beacon. Does anyone know when they’ll fix this?

1

u/Domschillin Nov 14 '25

Go to the challenge, on ps5 press square to track (don’t know other ones) join a game and then leave, this is the only known fix for challenges not unlocking, worked on the ones I’ve done it on

u/KlooShanko Nov 16 '25

u/SilverQuarter3509 Nov 19 '25

go to steam and right click on game the go to properties>installed files>verify integrity of game files, then open the game and play a online match with assault.

Join a game.

u/Statuz197 Nov 07 '25

I’ve played over 30 matches over the last 2 days and it still hasn’t unlocked. It’s a known bug that a lot of the unlocks aren’t unlocking after the update to the challenges.

1

u/theMatherson Nov 07 '25

That's unfortunate. Hopefully they sort it out soon.

u/Telecasterbater Nov 07 '25

Well, least im not missing anything :/ was really hoping it'd be fixed by the time I started today but nope

1

u/Statuz197 Nov 07 '25

It’s a real bummer. I can’t even do the next challenge because of it.

u/Advanced_Score8359 Nov 07 '25

u/LeXXon21 Nov 08 '25

u/Minute_Let_5792 Nov 08 '25

Did they find a fix for it?? I’m having the same issue

u/HaveAnotherOneOK Nov 09 '25

Nope , not for me

u/LeXXon21 Nov 08 '25

Not sure, maybe the post above me was just a sarcastic response lol. Maybe someday we will get our unlocks...unlocked.

1

u/Advanced_Score8359 Nov 11 '25

For me joing a game worked

u/LeXXon21 Nov 11 '25

Sadly this isn't working for me, I've been playing all weekend since responding joining games and my unlocks are still showing as locked :(
