Battlefield Bad Company 2 Guide › Essentials › Weapons

Weapons

Throughout the course of the single-player campaign and your multiplayer career, you have the opportunity to use a variety of weapons and equipment.

No two weapons are exactly the same, so get to know them and select ones that best reflect your style of play. In this chapter, we take an in-depth look at each weapon, gadget, and specialization, revealing the unlock criteria for each as well as helpful tactics for getting the most out of your gear.

Note

Each weapon, gadget, and specialization has unique unlock criteria requiring you to earn a certain amount of points in a specific category. Here’s a breakdown of the different scores:

Kit Scores: Points earned while using a specific kit build the assault, engineer, medic, and recon scores.

Vehicle Score: All points scored while in a vehicle; either driving or riding as a gunner/passenger.

Global Score: A cumulative score, adding all kit scores and the vehicle score.
