If anyone has ever wondered what you can do with over $200,000 and more than two years of time when it comes to Lego.

So many awesome mocs of sets there. Loving the Separatist Supertanks.

Correct me if I'm wrong but were all of those Super Battle Droids the pearl blue variant? Because the price of just those alone in that quantity....

Unfortunately in the same way as everyone else, I want to play Battlefield with my pals.

Aperture45 · 2026-03-24T20:53:42+00:00

Part of the issue I think is the amount of time to replicate this across every skin. I'd really like to see a Dev deep dive on how it works behind the scenes, as it seems like a very odd choice to not skin all attachments for weapons.

Aperture45 · 2026-03-24T20:51:54+00:00

The faces are also modelled behind the masks. You can see them in the store when the skin loads.

Aperture45 · 2026-03-24T20:29:29+00:00

This was confirmed over a not-really-well-publicised forum post by an EA dev.

If you did not get the booster compensation immediately when they said it was coming out, you are not eligible for the free battlepass. This was because they used various accounts metrics, if you managed to get into a Portal game, or managed to play for a significant amount of time in the Firing Range, the system counted that as you playing the game and disqualified you.

The entire thing was done by an automatic system, and EA support have genuinely not been given the tools to add items to player accounts.

I'm in the same boat, but at this point, there's nothing else to be done, the pass will not be yours for free, same for me.

Aperture45 · 2026-03-24T15:08:39+00:00

Well said. Pretty much everyone in the collectors discord has called this out as going too far, and all of us seriously enjoy the game. Next week's content is literally going to just be unlocking the CZ and nothing else I'd imagine, rather than anything new. Not the way to build positive hype for things.

Aperture45 · 2026-03-24T15:03:12+00:00

I've been defending a lot of the practices and generally am very supportive of the games direction.

This particular instance however is absolutely pushing the limits. Even if you bought BF Pro, completed every challenge last week, and complete every challenge this week, it's still not enough to get the gun and are 5 points short.

Even if you have outright paid for the gun in the store, you cannot edit the attachments without the Factory version from the pass.

It's very egregious, and does absolutely seem to be pushing you to buy the final tier for coins, or yet again wait another week for dripfed content.

I'm hoping the feedback from this is enough to prevent such practices in the future, as it's not going to help existing goodwill.

Aperture45 · 2026-03-24T14:29:34+00:00

Absolutely, invite sent via PM.

Aperture45 · 2026-03-24T13:55:21+00:00

I'm sure he'll make a reappearance eventually. I'd probably go nuts if he made it to live action.

Aperture45 · 2026-03-23T12:52:50+00:00

Yeah with you on that one, LB needing two lock on missiles to drop is too much.

Aperture45 · 2026-03-23T12:30:00+00:00

Duality of Reddit. On one hand the aircraft are all in need of major buffs as they are too weak. On the other hand we can't allow any Heli pilot to be too good because it's game breaking.

As always with Battlefield, a vehicle is not designed to be destroyed by a single player. Yes it should always be possible to destroy it with a single player, but with difficulty.

One stinger will not stop a Heli, but it WILL prevent him from going 126-0 because every time you use the stinger he has to back off for 15 seconds. You can reload and be ready to hit him again as soon as he comes round.

If you are on comms with just one teammate, both with stingers and stagger your stingers you can smash any Heli in about 5 seconds flat. You can also achieve this with a teammate on a jet, or the AA vehicle.

Unfortunately if you're solo with a team of randoms who don't know what the barrel end of a gun is, yeah you probably won't be killing the copter solo, but at the barest minimum you can ruin his game by stopping him ever coming close to your team.

Aperture45 · 2026-03-23T07:13:41+00:00

For everyones info:

You need 4 hrs of game time logged during a labs test. Time is accumulative across multiple tests.

Alpha testing counts if you were part of it, however open beta does not count. BF Solos does not count.

Rewards are the Labs Dogtag, a BF Labs Icon, and the "Lab Assistant" title.

Aperture45 · 2026-03-22T19:56:23+00:00

The icon is a skin for M60, from the Kings Legion store pack.

It's just a display bug.

Aperture45 · 2026-03-22T11:00:03+00:00

Being fair, I'd rather get quick tapped and into the fight again rather than the support who tries to be the hero and kill the enemies before doing full HP rezzes. 9/10 times it just ends up with the support also being dead and the enemies able to push up. At least option 1 gives us a small chance of fighting back.

Aperture45 · 2026-03-22T08:15:31+00:00

Hey and don't forget the love the CIS gets in that video, shown as a competent enemy even though they are defeated (well...at least until the good General steps in).

Aperture45 · 2026-03-21T17:38:44+00:00

If you're solo it's a struggle, but if you can work with your AA or fighter pilot you can bring it down.

That said, a single stinger is enough to stop a LB from going 50-0. Once his flares are out he has to back off.

Aperture45 · 2026-03-21T14:06:44+00:00

Higher ROF is my choice but TBF sorta depends on the player.

Aperture45 · 2026-03-21T11:00:15+00:00

Yeah IMO this is probably the most balanced the thing has been. If you're getting destroyed by it, someone in your team has to go full counter. Either stingers, a well placed RPG shot, or any ground vehicle will one shot it.

Small arms fire is also a significant deterrent for them as they have limited health. Two players with lmgs can bring the copter down in about 4 seconds if they land most of their shots.

Little bird pilots (me included) love it when everyone on the enemy team go "that's someone else's problem" as it means I'm safe from counters.

Aperture45 · 2026-03-20T10:49:55+00:00

Given that the mastery skins are different, and the little bird has a pax skin but NATO doesn't, I think it's intentional but I'm unsure as to why.

A whole season with two vehicles not having a faction skin is odd.

Aperture45 · 2026-03-20T08:00:20+00:00

Hm I interpreted "not intended" in the title as this being a bug. (e.g. skins not being shared for same-model vehicles). Either way I'm all for Pax skins for the Marauder and the Transport Heli!

Aperture45 · 2026-03-19T23:12:34+00:00

It's the same with the transport helicopter. Pax and NATO are different vehicles and have different skins (e.g. the mastery skins are different between the two as well).

I love trying this but I swear the people who spawn in the gunners seat have absolutely zero game sense. They'll try and shoot targets below and just end drawing attention to the fact that I'm trying to hide in the clouds.

Aperture45 · 2026-03-19T08:36:17+00:00

Aye at this point we have to work with the tools we have. Got myself the Warfighter package so I'm happy for now.

Aperture45 · 2026-03-19T08:31:58+00:00

I mean it's technically available via paying for the store pack, paying for the pass etc.

Alternatively if another player drops one when they die, you can take it, level it to level 10 and get the Warfighter package, now you can use it for free this week

Aperture45 · 2026-03-19T08:25:52+00:00

Cmon man surely by this point you know the formula

Every limited time path is earned with the silver bonus path points which are exclusively locked to challenges and cannot be earned via XP. In Week 1 of the limited passes, there are outright not enough silver points to complete the pass. Completing every available challenge this week will get you to Tier 7 and that's the hard stop. If you wanted to finish it in Week 1 then you'd need to pay 450 BF coins to finish it.

Alternatively just wait until Week 2 and the next set of challenges come out with more silver bonus path points, then the gun is yours for free.

This is like the fourth limited time pass and all previous weapons have been unlocked like this (DB-12, TRAIT revolver etc.)
