Battlefield 5 is preparing for the upcoming festive period with a special Battlefield 5 holiday weapon gift set. The M1897 and Ribeyrolles 1918 weapons will be made available to fans who play the game over a set period of time, but how do you get them? Here’s how to unlock the Battlefield 5 holiday weapon gift set.
What is the Battlefield 5 Holiday Weapon Gift Set?
As is the tradition around the holidays from video game developers, EA DICE has decided to give a present to those who have continued to play Battlefield 5 despite the many other titles being released since its launch in early November.
Those who jump into the game will be eligible to receive the Battlefield 5 holiday weapon gift set, which is comprised of the M1897 shotgun and Ribeyrolles 1918 assault rifle. These aren’t festive-themed weapon skins, but actual weapons to be used in any game mode too.
When is the Battlefield 5 Holiday Weapon Gift Set Available?
Players can download the free holiday weapon gift set right now. The latest Battlefield 5 update went live on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on Tuesday, December 18, and part of that patch saw the weapons added into the game.
How to Unlock the Battlefield 5 Holiday Weapon Gift Set
We know what you’re thinking. You’ll have to jump through a ton of hoops, complete a couple of challenges, or take part in a set amount of online multiplayer matches to be eligible for the two weapons.
That couldn’t be further from the truth, in fact. To unlock the Battlefield 5 holiday weapon gift set, you simply need to log in to the game between December 18, 2018, and January 3, 2019, to be able to download the weapon pack. The assault and support weapons should be automatically downloaded and added to your weapons roster.
To equip them, simply head to the company menu in the game and make them your primary weapon for your soldier.
