How to Unlock MTAR-21?

MTAR-21 is not a new weapon in the Battlefield franchise. This is a fan favorite gun that was brought back into Battlefield 4 (via China Rising DLC) from Battlefield 3.

Players have always loved this gun due to its high rate of firing. For players to unlock the MTAR-21, the following steps have to be followed.

Gain access to China Rising DLC.
Reach rank 10.
Multi Talent assignment will then be unlocked.
Now, once assignment is open, players have to:

- Make a kill with sniper rifle.

- Make a kill with assault rifle.

- Make a kill with LMG.

- Make a kill with hand grenade

All the kills must be made and completed in the same round.
The kills might not necessarily have to be on the China Rising map.
