	Comment #1 by LazyBarbarian Sunday, October 23, 2011 @ 10:25:01 AM kinda like bad company 2 where you had to get 10 assists, refills etc?

	Comment #2 by patrickskates92 Wednesday, October 26, 2011 @ 04:05:43 PM @1 Yes it is. Does anyone know how to get the motion sensor asists?? I have tried with the t-ugs and never got a ribbon..

	Comment #3 by big G nasty Wednesday, October 26, 2011 @ 05:44:47 PM Same with me. I seriously got close to 20 spot assists with the t-ugs. Is there another motion sensor we are supposed to use? I know for sure I got close to 9 with just one so it can't mean just one. My achievement should have popped. Not sure what else to do.

	Comment #4 by big G nasty Wednesday, October 26, 2011 @ 05:49:59 PM So I found out you need the UAV motion sensor. 45,000 exp to unlock. Strange why the other ones would be so easy and this one take so long. Something to look forward to I suppose. Some super sniping in store for me :-)

	Comment #5 by Smalty Friday, October 28, 2011 @ 04:04:21 AM Can some list all the steps? Please

	Comment #6 by WoH Jabba81 Friday, October 28, 2011 @ 04:41:50 AM It´s called MAV!

	Comment #7 by sachattack125 Saturday, October 29, 2011 @ 04:50:54 PM Spotting with the MAV is extremely easy. You should be able to get 5 motion sensor assists in one round.

	Comment #8 by xX674 SNIPERXx Saturday, October 29, 2011 @ 11:39:54 PM @5 yea I agree I don't understand how to get this achievement can someone help in give specific steps please.

	Comment #9 by sachattack125 Saturday, October 29, 2011 @ 11:51:33 PM 1. Support efficiency ribbon: Get 7 resupplies in one game(Simple give out ammo to those who need it by using the support class). 2. Repair efficiency ribbon: Get 7 repairs on vehicles in one game(a teammate must be in the vehicle to get the repair points. Use engineer class w/repair tool) 3. Medical efficiency ribbon: Get 5 revives in one game (Defibrillator is in the assault class, revive dead teammates). 4. Surveillance efficiency ribbon: Get 5 motion sensor assists in one game (Unlock the MAV by earning 45k XP in the recon class. The MAV is like a Portable UAV drone. Fly it up to a decent height, look at your enemies and press the select button. This should spot almost every enemy. Make sure to keep them spotted until your teammates kill them.)

	Comment #11 by FerociousTiger1 Monday, October 31, 2011 @ 01:35:11 PM Very easy to get once you obtain the MAV.

	Comment #12 by Spec Ops Angel Friday, November 04, 2011 @ 12:52:59 PM Can you use the MAV to get to air warfear ribbon?

	Comment #14 by Pede B Sunday, November 13, 2011 @ 06:22:47 AM i know people say use the MAW, its a lot easier. but is it impossible with the T-UGS? cause im a lousy sniper, and 45k exp is a lot sniping :D

	Comment #15 by Billy Ho Sunday, November 13, 2011 @ 08:02:11 PM It is possible with the T-UGS. But you would need to place them in proper areas. Most people don't know where to place the devices. Would need to find a frequently traveled area and one that your team can cover easily. MAV isn't too difficult to unlock. You can just use the PP-2000 or UMP-45 in the RECON class and still get unlock points for that class. Also, do a lot of CQ and you get points for flag captures and such. As long as you are using the RECON class then everything you do in that class helps to garnish points and level you up. You could ultimately max out Recon and have never used the Sniper Rifles. (Don't forget to lay down the radio close to objectives so your team can spawn on it and give you more points!)

	Comment #16 by matthewbanfield Monday, November 14, 2011 @ 09:30:44 AM can see this taking me a while

	Comment #17 by mi55ter Tuesday, November 29, 2011 @ 08:55:06 AM If you're not really a fan of sticking with the sniper class only 'til 45000 xp to unlock the MAV, like me, you can try the trick I stumbled across. I ran out of ammo on a map, in the enemy base with no support dudes around. There was a sniper kit beside me, so I picked it up, checked out ther guy's loadout (left and right on the d-pad) and turns out he had the mav.I wasn't lucky enuff to get the spots b4 the match ended, but the same sniper ended up on my squad in the next round, and I just picked up his kit when he got toasted, and this time did get the 5 spots and the achievement. What I don't understand is why, with the other classes, you get the support equipment necessary for the achievement relatively soon, but with snipers, you have to hang around 'til 45g xp. What about people th

	Comment #18 by xI VARSITY Saturday, December 03, 2011 @ 05:05:20 AM the steps would of been better if put into the guide, as fobbing us off with some OGN shite just doesn't answer the question does it! what is actually needed for each ribbon should of been described better, some people should not be allowed to do guides!

	Comment #19 by DougAdamson Tuesday, December 13, 2011 @ 02:35:35 AM I keep seeing people posting that they will have to get alot of exp with the sniper rifle and that just isn't the case. The recon class is actually a good class to use the shotgun with. Just play on conquest/rush modes and go for or defend the objectives for extra points. Remember, the gun doesn't matter. It's the class you have to level up.

	Comment #20 by Rk1 Kitt Thursday, December 15, 2011 @ 09:27:16 PM Just a heads up, the recent update fixed the TUGS, so it counts for the ribbon like it should now.

	Comment #21 by SJackson16321 Wednesday, December 21, 2011 @ 01:47:35 PM Yeah, this is easy since the update. Just put a TUGS down where you know there's usually a large firefight like next to m-comms/flags etc. Think it took me about 2 mins into the round to get that ribbon.

	Comment #22 by Seasick Pirate Tuesday, December 27, 2011 @ 03:23:34 AM This site has short descriptions and tips for each of the Ribbons: http://www.gamefront.com/battlefield-3-ribbons-guide/ Not perfect, but much better than anything this guide offers at the moment.

	Comment #23 by snakey084 Thursday, December 29, 2011 @ 09:57:19 AM Seriously cant get the repairs one..

	Comment #24 by derspiess Friday, December 30, 2011 @ 02:29:26 PM Just to add to 21, a great spot to plant the TUGS is in the first stage of the Metro map if you're on defense in Rush. Behind the objective on the right (as you face the enemy side), just to the left of the bridge, right behind the wall. Pretty much guaranteed to be a lot of enemy foot traffic there, and the wall should keep it protected. I think I had to replace it once or twice, but I got the ribbon (and achievement) with plenty of time to spare before we had to fall back.

	Comment #26 by Adar Kane Sunday, January 15, 2012 @ 12:18:16 PM Yeah i have to agree with #24, and by proxy, #21... i got this this using the T-UGS as well. I just kept planting them in any game of rush i played, right next to the MCOM. I figured either it would work or it wouldn't, it was costing me nothing. After a few games, it did. So forget the advice to level Recon to get the MAV, this worked for me, and others, and it will for you too.

	Comment #27 by NinjaMonkeyUK Sunday, January 29, 2012 @ 05:44:36 AM I just managed to get this last night using the T-UGS. I haven't even unlocked the MAV yet, so it is definitely possible with the T-UGS.

	Comment #28 by StarlessRelic Sunday, April 01, 2012 @ 11:50:31 AM Just managed to get this achievement before unlocking T-UGS, is that possible?

	Comment #29 by stephanosd Saturday, April 21, 2012 @ 09:09:29 AM i can't get it!!don't know what to do!!!

	Comment #30 by phreakpulsar Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 07:34:50 PM Rumor has it you need the MAV to get the surveillance one. This is NOT TRUE. You CAN get it with the T-UGS easily (especially in TDM). Noshar Canals in the middle with the T-UGS or in Seine Crossing by one of the spawn points where the one hallway goes into an empty outdoor room and into another tunnel to the street. Have fun. :)

	Comment #31 by XxALPHADOG_BFxX Friday, May 11, 2012 @ 10:34:59 AM take the ncom. And plant a ta-ug motion sensor. And repeat. Done it for me !

	Comment #32 by CurbsideBoot Monday, May 21, 2012 @ 01:58:02 AM If anyone needs help with the repair eff. ribbon, friend request me, I need it too, people dont stay in the tank long enough, and its hardly ever a guy from my squad

	Comment #33 by rodrigo.mayer Thursday, May 31, 2012 @ 09:22:45 AM The repair efficiency ribbon is much easier to take when repairing choppers. Hop into a transport hellicopter and forget the guns, pull out your repair tool and repair that thing everytime it gets hit during flight.
