Strangeness with Awards [Solved]

Post by Jpskida »

Hey guys, I've ran in to a strange problem... For some reason, my awards have been disabled... well at least the weapon you get.

It's strange, War Hero and Guardian work fine, but when I get something like "Marksman" It simply will not award me the beam rifle!
Do you guys know of anything I may have accidentally hit in the fake console that caused this, or more importantly, could you tell me how to get it back to normal?

Did you switch weapons away from the standard, and then back to the award?

You are only allowed to use an award weapon after earning it at least four times. Make sure that it wasn't your first time earning the Marksman medal. If you don't know, check your profile's career statistics.

Do you have the 1.3 patch? For me, that usually disables my awards in SP.

I've never had that happen. It disables visual award effects like the red lightning that comes from you when you have War Hero, but it doesn't disable the buffs or the award weapons themselves, I don't think.

I think that is what it is! I get the awards all the time online... But I hadn't played singleplayer in a long time, and now I'm starting to... I think that is the case. Thanks AQT!

Well, happened to me, though.
