Collectible Weapons

Collectible Weapons is a feature seen in the singleplayer campaigns of Battlefield: Bad Company and Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Battlefield: Bad Company
The collectible weapons feature is merely for show. Every time the player pick up a weapon that he/she has never used, a notice will pop-up announcing that the player has collected a new weapon. Every weapon in the game (except the "Find-all-five!" weapons) is available to be collected in singleplayer. Collectibles do not include gadgets.

Generally, many weapons can be found on weapon crates and will be marked by a large white 'X' on the map, although this can also be a gadget. This is the strategy to eventually collect them all, as most weapons are never used by enemies and can be often found in random off-course areas.

Many Playstation 3 Trophies/Xbox 360 Achievements are associated to acquiring a certain number to all of the collectibles.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2
The collectible weapons feature differs in Bad Company 2 from its prequel. It still works similarly, you pick up a new weapon and you get a new collectible, but all the collectibles can then be accessed through supply drops. Collectibles also include weapons with different attachments, so the player can collect the same weapon twice, but with different optics, for example.

Only a select few of weapons are available in singleplayer and the collectibles now include certain of the "Find-all-five!" weapons of Bad Company, these being the M60, F2000, Type 88 Sniper Rifle and the USAS-12. The M2CG is also now a collectible, previously being classed a a gadget.

Once again, various Playstation 3 Trophies/Xbox 360 Achievements are associated to collectible guns, although there isn't one for collecting every single one.
