    need help with weapon bonuses

    ok, ok, there are many great resources to find out odd facts about defiance. ive been looking for a couple hours now and i cant find the information im looking for.
    ive reset the mastery points on my shiny new nolans AR three times now. every time i re-roll it, it gains a bonus. the fracking bubble that shows the bonus is so small, you cant read it all sometimes, AND it doesnt scroll to show the rest of the bonuses. so the question is....are the bonuses from re-mastering a weapon cumulative? and if so, where can i find the list of bonuses? additionally, is there a cap to gaining bonuses?
    lol that way ill know when to stop re-setting it.
    kill 'em all

    I've been doing the mastery resets on a number of my weapons recently in an effort to raise the skill levels for the various weapon types. I am on XBox and I haven't noticed any bonus for any of my weapons for having done that. I could have just missed it. I've noticed this question posted before and to my best knowledge you don't get any bonus. Perhaps someone else has better tribal knowledge on this game mechanism. Probably my only gripe about this game is the lack of a detailed game guide that presents all of the important details in one official publication.

    hate to tell you but the NOLAN GUN resets it self everyday even when its NOT EQUIPPED the Roll is never the same lol just alil fyi =) on any other gun once you get a XP Bonus roll when you max the gun the 1st time the bonus NEVER CHANGES the only bonuses you get everytime you level a gun is on the weapons tab. weapon proficiency thats the only bonuses extra. trust me i have 2 Nolan Guns and they just sit there and there xp rolls change DAILY lol

    Dont go out of your way to gain a specific XP bonus on that gun because it wont stick. If you have a bonus with a long name you can see most of them using the salvage matrix because it shows a bigger item card.

    If I understand it correctly-the same thing happens with faction weapons but I've not been paying attention. I think this is what leads people to believe that they can change their bonus rolls when remastering a weapon but I've never had it happen and I've remastered weapons at least 20 times now.

    Well the thing is, that does say that Faction weapons are supposed to stay fixed but don't and maybe says that mastery bonuses can change upon remastery but I've never had that happen. People say they do and others who are really knowledgeable say they don't and I've never had them change.

    People also insist you can decide what the bonuses will be. And when Sledgehammer said they changed upon remastery and a dev said they don't, sledge was called a liar. But apparently for some the bonuses do change (or they're lying) and for others they don't. Except a dev said they don't.

    You must love reading your posts. They're all long-winded.

    OP asked for a resource providing him with a list of bonuses. I provided it. There's no need for comment or response to it. If you have a problem with that thread being wrong, post your concerns in THAT thread... but please keep it short.

    Quest items, from the main mission and episode content reset every time you log out, or when you enter a match.
    Faction weapons act the same.

    Sledge claimed that there's a chance that the mastery resets on regular items when you reset the mastery. After resetting items hundreds of times, I've never seen it happen, then again we all know sledge and some of his statements made here.

    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

    OP asked multiple questions. Indra was answering one of the other ones.

    Judge others much?
