Following on from last week’s Storyline, which let players unlock the unusual Tromboncino carbine; this week’s Storyline also features a new carbine. However, the P08 Pistol Carbine is a very different new Battlefield 5 weapon. To unlock this Recon class carbine, you’ll need to progress through the latest Storyline by completing its list of objectives. Of course, each objective also awards Chapter XP. As such, even if you’re not looking to unlock the P08, it’s still worth doing to advance your Chapter Rank.
How to Unlock the New Battlefield 5 Weapon in the New Weekly Storyline
The objectives to unlock the new weapon this week are as follows:
- Crack Shot (4,500 XP): For this first objective, you must score a headshot kill from at least 50 meters away in either Combined Arms or Multiplayer.
- Old School (10,000 XP): This objective is optional. It requires you to simply kill 20 enemies in Combined Arms. Although it’s optional, it should be easy to complete while doing some of the later objectives on this list.
- Mad Dash (10,000 XP): For this objective, you must complete any Combined Arms mission within 8 minutes.
- Fire by Volume (10,000 XP): To complete this objective, you and your squad must kill or down at least 25 enemies using only SMGs, LMGs, MMGs, or Assault Rifles in Combined Arms or Multiplayer.
- Peerless Precision (10,000 XP): This challenge is a true test of marksmanship; it requires you to kill 25 enemies with headshots in a single Combined Arms mission.
- Cookie Cutter (10,000 XP): This objective requires you and your squad to earn a score of at least 30,000 in either Combined Arms or Multiplayer.

- The Grease (10,000 XP): To complete this objective, you and your squad must resupply or revive your teammates at least 60 times in Multiplayer.
- Trophy Hunters (25,000 XP): This objective is worth the most XP of any of this week’s challenges. To complete it, you and your squad must kill or down at least 20 enemies in Multiplayer with headshots.
