Battlefield 5: how to track Assignments, Special Assignments, Mastery Assignments and rewards

Assignments have been overhauled in Battlefield 5, but how they work, and how you can get more of them isn't always clear.

As we explained in our Battlefield 5 tips , Assignments are one of the progression items you'll need to stay on top of as you play the game.

Assignments are not only a great source for Company Coin (in-game currency), they can also reward XP - and more importantly - cosmetic items for your soldiers and weapons. In this guide, we hope to make it easy to understand, choose, equip, and track Assignments.

Assignments, explained

In Battlefield 5, Assignments are more like quests than they are challenges. In simple terms, Assignments are much more tasking versions of Orders. Only instead of having one requirement you can easily fulfil in a day, they're meant to be completed over time.

In response to feedback in Battlefield 1 and previous games in the series, DICE made Assignments more accessible this time around. Depending on the reward, an Assignment could have anywhere from two to four or five requirements. Crucially, however, you won't always have to complete all associated tasks.

At the very top of the Assignment's description, you'll note that it's asking you to complete two or three of the listed objectives. Often, the harder tasks will be tracked per game. DICE made sure to always include an easier, more grindy version for those unable to do the high-pressure equivalent - and their progress instead carries on from match to match.

For instance, you'll come across requirements like 'get ten kills with a weapon in a round', in contrast to 'do 3,000 damage with a weapon'. You can always try to go for the former, but if you only manage to get nine of the ten required kills, this particular tracker will reset in the next round. The easier option is to obviously go for the damage dealt task, but the flip side is that it'll take you longer to achieve.

Take your time to read each requirement carefully, because you may find that one of them falls completely outside your typical play style. If that's the case, ignoring that task could mean getting stuck on an Assignment for weeks.

If you never fly in Battlefield 5, it doesn't make sense to accept a plane-based Assignment, even if some of the other objectives are doable as an infantry. The only thing you need to worry about is whether any of the doable tasks are enough for you to clear the Assignment and claim the reward.

Once you've unlocked all class weapons and reached a high enough level, Assignments will start to make up a more crucial component of your play. You'll move on to chasing Company Coin, and cosmetic items for your favourite weapons - and Assignments will help get you there more efficiently.

How to get new Assignments

Assignments are doled out in a few different ways in Battlefield 5. You have your basic weapon, and class Assignments, which are unlocked the more you use the weapon/play the class they're associated with.

These often reward low-tier cosmetic items for use with your weapon or class. In fact, if you browse the available options for the different weapon grips or outfit pieces you'll find most of them locked behind Special Assignments. For weapons, the game will say which Assignment you need to complete to earn the reward, but it currently does not do the same for soldier outfits.

Like the weapons and classes themselves, Assignments also come in different levels . It starts out with Proficiency, goes through a few levels of those until it culminates with Mastery. This is true for both weapon, and class Assignments.

Weapon and class Mastery Assignments unlock higher tiers (rarer) rewards for your class or weapon. Naturally, you'll only get these if you spend enough time with that class/weapon. Their requirements are also more challenging than the basic version, but they reward Epic gear.

Maxing out your class level for each of the four classes - currently at 20 - unlocks Mastery Assignments in the same way. Likewise, when completed, they award very good-looking cosmetics, or rarer colours for existing pieces. Once again, these won't be easy, with the Recon ones especially being a pain in the ass. For weapons, Mastery Assignments unlock the more exquisite camos.

Special Assignments

Some Special Assignments were given as pre-order bonuses, and they're essentially similar to the Special Assignments deluxe edition owners get. In both cases, if you didn't pre-order/opt for the more expensive edition, you won't have access to them.

They're themed around real-world operations by the British Special Air Service (SAS), and the German Fallschirmjager troops in the war. In all cases, they reward Company Coin. Since CCs can be used to buy weapon Specializations and certain cosmetic items, they're meant to give players who pre-ordered/bought the deluxe edition a bit of an edge, but they don't have exclusive rewards beyond that.

We should also mention Basic Training Assignments , which are the easiest to do. These also reward Company Coin, and are good to stock up on in case you're not feeling the rest of what's available to you, or you're just looking to grind some CCs.

Assignment rewards

The Assignments page in Battlefield 5 is smartly laid out. It lets you easily see the requirements and rewards of each Assignment before you commit, as well as for those you already have equipped. Sadly, you can't preview the rewards themselves from the same menu.

You certainly can remember the name and return to the customisation menu to see the item, however. In some cases, completing Assignments unlocks more Assignments. This is common with the Proficiency Assignments . On top of the usual rewards, you'll also unlock a higher tier of the same Assignment. Completing Proficiency 2 unlocks Proficiency 3 and so on.

The higher tiers in turn give you access to better rewards, but require more finesse, as we outlined above. As always, you can discard what you don't like, or ones you've picked up but don't think you'll be able to finish.

How to track Assignment progress

Unlike Orders, Assignments don't refresh daily - but they do rotate. Like we mentioned in our Battlefield 5 tips , it's always recommended that you check the list regularly.

In-game, bringing up the menu (Esc) will display a concise tracker on the right for both Daily Orders, and Assignments. You can also select Assignments from the same menu for a detailed reminder of your objectives. Even better, Battlefield 5 always tracks your Assignment progress in the background, and you'll get a subtle popup on the left side of the screen anytime you make progress.

It can sometimes be hard to track whether or not your most recent kill counts as an "objective kill" or just a normal kill. Watching that tracker ensures you're always informed of your progress.

In the launch version of Battlefield 5, you're not able to discard Assignments or sign up for new ones mid-match. This needs to be done from the main menu, outside of the match. It's not ideal, but it's something DICE is working on improving .

A Guide to Weapon Specializations in Battlefield V

The weapons of Battlefield V are powerful, deadly, and adjustable. You read that right; you can modify your primary weapons by using them in battle and spending the in-game currency you’ll earn by playing the game. Want more accuracy when you’re lining up your next target? How about a faster hipshot in the thick of battle? We call those kinds of modifications Specializations, and they give you a variety of ways to specialize each of your primary weapons to best suit your playstyle.

Specializations Are Not a One-Way Street

Modifying your weapons is more about the journey than the destination. Specializations aren’t necessarily an endpoint, though some players may treat them that way. You can always go back and try different setups and take on fresh challenges when your weapon is fully specialized.

What About New Players?

Don’t worry if you’re coming into the game a little later; you’ve still got a good shot at both surviving and thriving in this system. There are four starter weapons (one per class) with Specializations already unlocked, though they will initially be on Rank 0. Use any of them on the front lines and at Rank 4 you can re-spec them however you want.

Weapon Specializations in Action

Let’s walk you through an actual Specialization tree for a specific weapon, in this case, the EMP. This submachine gun is perfect for close-range combat and comes with eight different Specializations and eight Specialization tree paths. Each choice you make will have pros and cons, and choosing one means you don’t get the benefits of another. But, again, nothing’s written in stone, and when your weapon is fully specialized, you can always go back and make changes if you want to.

So, what are some of the options you have for the EMP? Here are the kinds of trade-offs you’ll need to make:  

It’s up to you if you want to go all-in on one Specialization path or sample some of both, as you work your way through the unlocks.

Specializations are Just the Beginning

So, what happens when you’ve climbed your Specialization tree branch to the top and mastered your weapon? As we mentioned before, you can always re-spec to try new combinations. It’s a great way to challenge yourself and find other, different ways to achieve your Battlefield V goals.

In addition, you can also take on weapon-specific Special Assignments. These become available when the Specialization tree is completed. In-game challenges, Special Assignments help you unlock unique vanity items for that weapon. You can really go for the gold with these challenges.

Remember, Battlefield V is still in development and all game features may be subject to change. Battlefield V is now available for pre-order on the Microsoft Store . Stay tuned to Xbox Wire for the latest news and information for all things Xbox.

The Company also allows players to customize the visuals of soldiers, weapons, and vehicles for the United Kingdom , Germany , USA and Japan factions. Visual customization items do not confer users with any explicit statistical bonuses, but can aid in concealability when matched with terrain. Visuals in Battlefield V are found in five rarities: Common , Uncommon , Rare , Epic , and Legendary .

Players may also equip different sights to each weapon, with all standard sights unlocked immediately for a weapon. They are unlocked through weapon ranks, completing assignments , or by purchasing them in The Armory . The 2020 Summer Update also introduced Charms which can be displayed on weapons.

Customization also extends to vehicles. Tanks allow players to customize their paint jobs. Update 6.2 introduced the option for players to equip accessories to the chassis and turret of each tank. Aircraft also has the option to have their paint job customized along with the added option of applying a unique nose art.

A squad in an earlier build of Battlefield V showing off some of the removed customization options.

• Battlefield V originally featured more intense customization when it was first announced such as a prosthetic hand or non-faction authentic outfits. Due to the negative feedback from the community, DICE removed these options before the launch of the game.
• Several Uncommon player customization options were available for purchase with Company Coin during the initial release of Battlefield V . Subsequent updates, however, have changed the rarities of these options to Epic and can now only be purchased with Battlefield Currency .
• "Margot" and "Harald" were originally named "Ilse" and "Wilhelm" back at launch. This was change in later update.
• The camouflage patterns for all United Kingdom and Germany Common sets, as well as Firestorm Ranger , were changed in update 6.6. It also changed the Standard Brodie headgear color, as well as replacing the Standard Stahlhelm headgear with a more appropriately scaled model with a chinstrap.
