How to unlock the Battlefield Expert achievement

    First lets start with how to see your progress towards this one.

    In the main menu of Battlefield BC2, go to the Multiplayer tab and select "Weapons and Gadgets" from the list below that menu point. You will see that there are three kits; Assault, Engineer, Medic, Recon and a general category called "All Kits".

    An unlock is a weapon, gadget or specialisation from the kit. In order to get this achievement you have to obtain all that are listed inside one kit. Keep in mind that vehicles count as a kit for this achievement. They have no specific weapons or gadgets. Their specialisations can be found in the "All Kit" category. They constitute the specialisations in the last and second to last row featuring a cog wheel (They don't include the Extended Shotgun Magazine).

    To obtain an unlockable you need score. Score can be achieved by playing the class in online matches and gaining kills, assists, badges, securing objectives, etc. The "All Kits" category is an exception as those advance by rank. You rank up by gaining score too. To check your rank, consult the "My stats" menu point under the Multiplayer tab located just below the "Weapons and Gadgets" one.

    The easiest way is to get in a vehicle (it was suggested that stationary weapons count as well but I am unable to verify this) and get kills while inside with any means possible. This includes main and secondary weaponry if you should happen to not be in the driver seat. Road kills also count toward this. You will also get assists points if your driver or secondary gunner kills targets.

    Below you will find the score necessary to unlock the last item you need for the achievement per kit:

    Assault - 47 000
    Engineer - 43 000
    Medic - 57 000
    Recon - 34 000
    Vehicle - 10 000

    Thanks to M00SE for posting the list. Although buyers of the special editions get one vehicle item for free which is the one unlocked at 10k, the achievement does not unlock until they hit that mark even though they have everything unlocked at 8k.

    The achievement will come as you play normally and I do not think that you need to really go for this one on purpose. It will just take longer if you are not that much into driving vehicles.

    Note: Purchasing one of the Shortcut packs will not net you the achievement as commented by EarthboundX.

    Many thanks to ErichRunner whose comments resolved the matter about what exactly is needed for owners of the special edition to unlock this achievement.

    Many thanks for the following comment - JMJimmy said:
    Also of note, in Rush style games if you arm a bomb and then jump into a vehicle the points are counted as vehicle points when it blows up (250 pts/bomb). This is especially good if you're playing at slow times on desert maps as you can speed up in a 4-wheeler arm the bomb, jump back on and move to the next target.

    Even being on a stationary gun while the bomb explodes will be enough to earn vehicle points.

    Blue RadiumEasiest way to get this - grind out your 50 helo and 100 tank kills from Vietnam, for about 8500 vehicle points. Then to hit 10k, 1 round of Rush on Atacama Desert, which has 8 m-com stations, as attacker. Park the truck pretty close one station, plant at the further away one, plant at the one close to the truck, hop in truck. 500 vehicle points per base. 4 bases total, 2000 vehicle points. Achievement unlocked, even if you were bad about doing headshots while grinding Vietnam vehicles.

    This is obtained by getting enough XP playing a single class or by using vehicles. This guide focuses on on-foot grinding of a class of your choice and can also be used to get unlocks in each class and for reaching rank 22.


    4 PLAYER BOOSTING METHOD

    In Squad Rush, have one player of each team be a medic one player whatever kit they want to grind for and meet at the objective. Playing on Rush will grant extra points to the defense team for every kill near the objective.

    Non medics take turn killing each other and getting revived with the defibrillator. After a while, medics will stop getting points for squad revives, in which case letting the other player die or having the medic die typically works to make them earn points again. The medics can earn extra points by dropping a medkit at the feet of their ally and have the non medics hurt each other before dying, granting squad heals to medics.

    With this method, I was able to get slightly over two kit expert achievements in a four hour session. As the killer, you should focus on every other kit first and go for medic for the Battlefield Expert achievement.


    2 PLAYER AFK METHOD - SLOWER, DOUBLE BOX FRIENDLY

    In Squad Rush, have one player on each team and meet at the bomb. Mark it as an objective with cn_back for extra points then hold cn_B or put a weight on it then wait. The arm/disarm will start automatically without having to release the button.

    Make sure to move sticks once in a while or plug in the controller to avoid it disconnecting, although the game won't kick you for being AFK as long a you are arming or disarming.
