Any news on resetting weapon mastery also resetting mastery bonus?

[Cavadus]

Any news on this at all?

I was struck yet again by a terrible mastery bonus on an otherwise perfect weapon (FRC Quick Repeater, mastery bonus is +15% damage to vehicles, /lesigh).

This is badly needed and would add a great salvage sink as I'm sure a lot of us would be constantly resetting weapons to get decent mastery bonus rolls.

To my knowledge there is no current plans to change the weapon reset feature. It would be nice if it could also reset your mastery bonus. I seem to always get bonuses that don't match my weapon...melee bonus on a sniper rifle for example.

As nice as it would be, that's waaaaaay to much choice in a gun.

Unless it was around a million ark salvage to do....but even then.

Everyone running around with speed boosts or DMG rolls...can nay do it my friend

Yet there are people that insist that they do this regularly. I've never seen it, but they even claim they can choose the bonuses they get by what they're doing before they remaster the weapon.

I call BS.....

I have heard the same claim from a few people, but until I see it, hell no.

IMO, a weapons mastery roll is determined the first time someone shoots it, 100% random.

Have you never noticed the more you use a specific weapon, e.g. Sniper/RPG the more drops you get from that category? I believe it is totally plausible that the mastery roll is generated with some consideration to what you were doing when you mastered it.

I agree but I have no doubt that some who claim this believe it. It's not one of those "my brother knows a guy who says he heard of someone" kind of things, but they have people who claim they told them how to do it and it worked. Still, I'm with you and won't believe it unless I see it and I haven't yet.

Except all that is is anecdotal and could be coincidental. People claim that they keep getting new rolls every time they remaster and they can decide what the rolls will be. I have never seen this happen-I've never seen the rolls change even. Other than those known to change, like faction weapons.

Well, I also have noted that when I get a lockbox I almost always get another type of the weapon I have equipped but I don't truly believe the game is thinking "she likes sniper rifles, so let's give her a sniper rifle". I would then have to ask why the game thinks I need 4 full sets of scavenger sniper rifle mods-maybe it's telling me that when and if there are scavenger sniper rifles, I will get one of the first to drop.
