Xbox 1 Battlefield 1 binoculars won’t come up

[JayHBK]

Why when I go to use binoculars in battlefield I during the Mud and Blood campaign I hit RB to bring up them and nothin comes up??

You should be able to open up your control setting in-game and so you could check what's needed to press/hold to use your binoculars.

It's might be really the function to "hold" the button, and not just "press". As mentioned above!

Hi @JayHBK

I should hold the button if i remember well, not just hit it.

Travis,
I appreciate your advice but it’s not even bringing the binoculars up period. I click the RB on XBOX One X controller and nothing even comes up. It’s almost like I don’t even have the binoculars at all. I tried mashing buttons and the D-Pad and it brings the wrench up and stick grenades. The mission is over now but idk why it wouldn’t come up.

Ok, but that really weird then.

I can't remember the mission anymore, but maybe you're not supposed to have binoculars in this part of the mission at all.

Same problem here. Only started happening on Xbox One X. Has anyone found a reason / solution?

Seems that this happens right after I get a weapon out a crate. I thought I was dropping it but it's more likely a bug.

I’ve had this problem since April and I’ve reported it plenty of times EA don’t care no more. (Poor Grammar I know) I can’t bring up my binoculars in the mud and blood mission, when I pick up a weapon from a crate in the Nothing is written mission she drops the binoculars, I’d give up hope and just try to work with sniper scopes.

Same issue, just got the game free from games with gold . 1st time playing the series btw, and the campaign is awesome. 

I don't know why it says there is a solution to this because the proposed solution is garbage.  It pretty much states that we are all imbeciles who can't comprehend how to hit start and look at a controller button map.

I first had the issue in "fog of war" mission where you scout ahead of besse the tank .  As soon as I picked up a crate weapon, no binoculars....I can only point my arm to tag enemies.  It wasn't that bad of an issue until I had to go find spark plugs for besse . You grab a sniper as you climb a tower, get to the top (a prompt even comes up to use the binoculars) to overlook the city, but no binoculars .  I can only look down the crappy 1900s era scope and hit rb to tag enemies .  Immediately came to Google and this thread popped up .

Glad I'm not a potato who couldn't figure it out, but it sucks it's happening to all of us .  I imagine it happens to everyone, but only we took the time to write about it...

Btw I'm playing on an OG Xbox one with a normal controller

Yep same here.  Just got the gold game and trying to find the spark plugs - constantly being told to (RB) for binoculars?  (RB) does absolutely nothing.

And they want me to buy the next Battlefield game.  No way.  Bugs like this should be a 101 squash bug exercise for the likes of the programmers that are working on these games.

Glad it's free, as this is not a great 1st impression.
