The question is: How many skill levels are there for a specific weapon? Some pursuits say to max you weapon skill to unlock the reward. So I'm wondering how many is there?

The max level for weapons and vehicles is level 20.
Thanks. I'm guessing it's all gonna restart at some point, just as it happened to my rollers skill. Am I right?
Unfortunately the rollers are bugged when you get to level 20, it's not supposed to reset. Hopefully this will be fixed in the next patch.
How many kills would you need to max out a weapon skill?
Its not really in the number of kills its ur weapon xp max level up a weapon once its maxed you either reset it or use another of the same type if a weapons xp is max ur skill will not level any more so keep an eye on ur xp and also the bonuses you get when you level it really all there is to it. Just go find a vendor buy a butt load and just level them up
I think it varies depending on weapon type, as it seems that weapon skill is based on damage output so, for instance, using a courier sawn off to kill zombies, you can gain levels very quickly. I got 4 levels in about 4 hours yesterday, but weapons with a smaller damage output level slower. Unless you use them all the time.Quote:

Most of the infectors also spawn bugs which cause thousands of points of damage per second per bug. Typically the ones that you see with damage counters like "6" will spawn those bugs. Also, those bugs eat the armor off the target. So a Viscera that you are only getting 200 - 300 points of damage will quickly go into 1100-1400 points of damage after they have been infected. I found the infectors are particularly useful against the afflicted for some reason. I got mine up to level 20 (max) in a surprisingly short amount of time.Quote:

The guy he quoted is more accurate for back then, as the bugs only did a few hundred damage back then (not thousands as TLs didn't exist and the gun stats never changed based on EGO level. An EGO 3k gun had the exact same stats as an identical one at EGO 50) and was talking about a canker which does not spawn bugs while the target is alive. It is strictly based on (back then, not sure about now) crappy DOT.Quote:
