how do you level up weapon skills?

I capped my Assault Rifle Skill to 20 by doing a lot of co-op missions. If your main focus is to skill up, avoid Arkfalls because Hellbugs and Scrappers don't seem to give any weapon xp and enemies that do give weapon xp generally do not last long enough for you to continually do damage on.

Co-ops, main missions, side missions, and emergencies are the way to go for skill ups. Remember to keep plenty of LMG's on you, you'll want to swap them as soon as weapon xp caps.

Uh yeah. Someone in my clan told me that so I tested the theory. I checked the exp on both my saws before I started an arkfall and after it finished and indeed they both went up.

Is it just me and thats a glitch? In this game I suppose thats possible or maybe its some people who are glitched negatively.

When did you test it? I suppose they could have patched it and no one noticed, since you're the second person I've seen today that said they get exp during arkfalls.

Although he said he got skill exp not weapon exp.

It does. It looks exactly same as skillup, just with weapon-name instead of skill-name and without that little text withskillup bonus. But graphicaly it looks same.

Yeah it will say it leveled, but have no number next to it, you won't even gain the 4 ego levels from it, but after that happends, check your weapons for a new stat above the xp bar i believe.

What what and what? What system are you guys playing on??


The answers in this thread make my head hurt, theres a lot of misunderstanding going on here.

PC. We seem to understand the system just fine :P

Weapons get experience until they get a level. Then they are capped.

Weapon skill experience is a different thing. It's what you work on to get passive bonuses that are always present, and not just an effect with the gun you leveled up.
