Panzerschrek in online gameplay? [ Edited ]

[SaintPhilipNeri]

Where do you find the Panzerschrek in battlefield 5?  I was playing on Al Sudan and Hamada and a player was running around with and using a Panzerschrek. I did not think there was a pick up kit in actual game play. I thought the weapon was only featured in single player? Is this some new cheat or ability to have this gadget in ones inventory for online game play or can you actually pick the weapon up someplace like one does with other in game weapons, like katana's, flame throwers, etc.

Just curious..... Thank you.

Hey @SaintPhilipNeri are you maybe thinking of the Panzerfaust? It's an Assault class weapon. If it doesn't appear in your inventory (might need a certain level to unlock it, I can't exactly remember), you'll be able to purchase it for 1,700CC in your Company -- it should then show up in the armory

Nope, Panzerschrek. He was using a Panzerschrek, not a Panzerfaust. I know what the difference is between the two. His character model was holding a Panzerschrek. When he killed me with it, it said Panzerschrek. I used to work with mod teams making mods for Battlefield 2 way back when and I put one in game for the Forgotten Hope 2 Mod team. In either case, if you go to Battlefield V Stats and search his name, then look at his game history. Specifically, Hamada on 5-20-21 that ended about 9:30pm est. Look at his weapon statistics or game play. You will see Panzerschrek listed as a “Gadget” that he used in the game. Where did he get that or is that some new cheat?

@SaintPhilipNeri It was a battlepass unlock. You can get all of the Tides of War unlocks by purchasing the BF5 definitive edition if you didn't unlock it via play.

@ragnarok013Sorry man but this was an unfinished gadget that never got added to the game. They can't have gotten their hands on it legitimately.

@ragnarok013 I don't think that's right. It's not in the definitive edition and I didn't miss any weapon unlock and don't have it.

I think it's likely that someone got it unlocked the same way people managed to get the Chauchat unlocked early.

[ragnarok013]

@ElliotLH you know I think you are right and I am wrong. I was thinking of the bazooka

[ragnarok013]

@A_al_K_pacino_A You’re right I was thinking of the bazooka.

This is the weapon and player that he is talking about.
