Well, I found out when fighting Raider Tankers, you already know to hit their tanks on their backs, but when they kneel down go around them and shoot them in the face for massive crits.

Great info, thanks to all suggestions and posts.

Here's another one... those annoying raiders with the shields - melee them and they drop their guard long enough for you to do some serious damage.

Once you max out a weapons xp bar you no longer gain skill xp towards that weapon class *badsystem*

yeah I really hope thats a bug because that's ****ing ******ed.

Here ya go, have a penalty for xping up a weapon you like.. stupid.

Also to piggyback on this if you combat roll when you are on fire it will help to put out the DOT flames quicker.

wait wait wait.. so you can legitimately stop. drop. and roll?

That makes me happy.

I was just saying the same thing on another post. That is awesome!

Another one I found out last night...

You'll notice you can break down weapons. But what's the point in doing that you might ask? It gives you a green currency 'Ark Salvage'. Take that green currency to a Lock Box Vendor (the little boxes next to the larger vendors) and you can buy a KeyCode with it for 1000. Buy lots of keycodes!

Keycodes are required, along with Scrip, to purchase lock boxes. And Tier 3 and especially Tier 4 contain really good weapons.

I think those green credits are better saved to spend on attaching mods.

Once you max out a weapon, that weapon no longer contributes to your Weapon Skill. Remember to switch often within the same class, or you can use the salvage matrix to "reset" the weapon if you really love it.

That my friends I played MMOs with for years have become weak gamers because they find this game to hard for them to play and they have no clue anymore how to group in a MMO. I need a new group of gamer friends!

I haven't maxed out any of my weapons yet, but my understanding is that they've changed that since the beta. During the beta, they talked about adding a reset option but I think they just let it continue gaining xp instead. Several people have posted that they have leveled up a weapon class while using a maxed-out weapon.

That is to say, once the weapon is maxed out, you no longer get better with that specific weapon, but you continue to get better with that class of weapons (which will, in turn, improve your base ability with that specific weapon).
