As last week was pretty busy with the 6.0 release and release of Solomon Islands, this week will be a bit quieter in comparison, but let's dig in.

Absolutely.
But hey! If you don't see them, give it a restart and try again. If it's still not showing, hit me up so I can get someone to look at it for us.
Thanks and have a good one!
Ok thanks for getting back to me. Please consider mentioning to the team that many people were not aware sidearms would not be available after the chapter was complete. I put over 500 hours into bfv and usually get max chapter rank but the last chapter was the first time I didn’t make it due to work and school.
Edit: I do understand the melee weapons were never going to be available again but when you only introduced side arms into the previous chapter, we were not informed it would not be available again.
For sure. Please recheck my reply. I just edited it - the Armory/back-end update today should have given you the option to purchase the Model 27, Type 94, and the Jungle Carbine via the Company.
Wow that’s so disappointing you guys are locking weapons behind chapter rewards to not be purchase able at a later time. I’m sorry but that’s a terrible policy.
I’m going to do some research but I could have sworn there was a statement that any weapons that were unlocked in chapter rewards would be made available for purchase after the chapter was over.
We're not locking weapons. I'm sorry if the statement I made was misinterpreted - but that's not what I said.
Since the launch of Battlefield V, sidearms and melee weapons that have featured as rewards for Tides of War or Chapter Rank Up Progression have never been purchasable via Company.
EDIT:
From the update this morning, they tested and the Type 94, Model 27, and Jungle Carbine should be purchasable via the Company with Company Coins. If you don't see that, restart your game and check the Company again.
If you still can't purchase these items, please let me know so I can escalate it as soon as possible. Thanks.
Wait, so your not adding the sidearms from the previous chapter for company coin purchase?
Sidearms have never been purchasable with Company Coin via the Company menu if they were in the TOW Weekly Rewards.I understand what you're saying and I've asked the team to review the policy on that. Whether or not it changes, I'll let you know.

FYI the two handguns from Chapter 5 aren’t available for CC in the Company
Weapon unlocks that are available to purchase in the Company are limited to Primary weapons - that's why you can't purchase melee weapons either.
I'm not 100% sure on the gameplan for that - perhaps to use them for future TOW unlocks - but I'll check on that.
I feel like it's fair to lock it behind ToW and Chapter rewards so they can make profit by letting the more impatient players purchase them in retrospect. What I think is unfair that you never get the chance to unlock them way later at all.
They'll obviously have their own motive to do it like this but I can't imagine demand is high enough to justify these time and money restrictions. I feel like there'd be a much bigger playerbase if it also made sure those who play less or later can unlock the stuff at some point.
Is there some explanation for why you're doing this differently, /u/Braddock512 and /u/PartWelsh?
You can unlock guns that are part of the Chapter Reward with Company Coins after the chapter ends if you missed out. All previous ToW gun unlocks should be available in your Company for Company Coin right now.
Awesome. Thanks. I’ve sent it up to the team. (I escalated it last week when you posted, but I’ve attached the thread you provided now.)
Hey u/Braddock512, when will we be able to get the gun from the last tides of war? I was so busy with the holidays and such I didn't have much time to play so I never was able to get the magnum or nambu pistol. I would like to get those at some point for CC. Also the melee weapons would be nice. Also for TOW you can't get the melee weapons from that if you missed them. When can we get those?
You should be able to get the primary gun unlocks from Chapter 5 ToW today. The team pushed a backend update to address this early this morning.
Are the tier skips working properly, or was I just glitched? In the last chapter when I unlocked the tier skip as a reward, it glitched out so I was two different levels. For example, in game after a match it would say I’m tier 32 but in the main menu it would be 33. It stayed like that till the end where I was always off one level.
Tier Skips don't affect XP levels. That may be why it's weird.
Like you skip to get the reward of the next tier, but you still have to earn the XP to get to the end of chapter dog tag.
Has there been any discussion about fixing the plane gunner seat? I'm referring to the way the gun pulls away in the opposite direction to which the plane is banking. It makes being an effective gunner near impossible when the aim is constantly fighting you.
I can ask about it. From my personal perspective, it sorta makes sense (though I've never flown in a real life gunner seat so this is just conjecture) as the g-forces may pull you in the opposite direction of the plane, thus the gun would be doing the same.
Let me see what the Devs have to say - and thanks for asking about it.
The initial settings crippled them. It would have better not to introduce them and wait for a proper setup. I haven’t played in over a month but a proper BF4 like settings would bring me back.
That's a fair comment and one that I'm can tell you is common throughout the community.
I hope so, too. No matter what happens, I hope they give you some information to share with us on how it's coming along. If they're having issues, I would like for them to share that, too. Any information is better than nothing. Thanks.
Definitely, bud.
Edited:
I don’t have any new info to share today, but will continue to drive the question of the status and next steps with the team along with PartWelsh. As soon as we have an update to share, we will share it.
Not to be picky, but on responding to Kamesh_Jester question " What has happened to Community Games? Is it abandoned?" in the TWIB Jan 27th edition you said "No, in fact - I believe it's next Thursday - the team working on Community Games should have some information for me to work with so we can share more details on additional features, mutators, etc." I don't know if this is what DB was referring to, but it doesn't mention anything about them having a meeting on Thursday.
Tomorrow is Thursday. Hopefully we'll get some info to share after their meeting.
Updated calendar with Weekly Mission overview link:
Wednesday, February 5, 2020
I just updated my Nvidia driver, even changed to DX12 as proposed by another user. No luck so far. u/Braddock512 u/PartWelsh we can't start the game after downloading 6.0
I sent this thread over to the QA team to look into it.
Updated Tuesday, February 4, 2020 with the following:
I’ll be updating the calendar above as it seems we received a surprise of 2 weapons and Solomon Islands today with Update 6.0.
Wait this map is live now?
Looks like it. Woke up to tons of notifications on Slack.
Also it looks like a couple of the guns got released.
I know you’re not as informated as Freeman which is based directly at the Stockholm studios, but if you know or you can share it with us I would like to ask you about something I think the Community is worried about, and it’s the Lunge Mine, does it activate against infantry? Or you can use it only against veichles (which is his functionality) ?
I would ask u/PartWelsh. I haven’t been participating in Playtests for the new content.
