There is no Weapon XP...

Actually it was a proven fact in Beta weapons with maxed exp wouldnt gain you skill. It was also confirmed by sledge and several other devs on twitch and on the forum.

And also it is in the game info so if you are gaining exp still that is a bug. Like the tradeing weapons to reset the exp one.

My LMG still gaining skill after I maxed the damage bar. There is no weapon xp, the bar is total damage.

It was also like that in Alpha. But go ahead and let him keep insisting nothing was changed and it is all a lie spread by others. The kids with tinfoil hats are amusing.

I think the misunderstanding is that the bar of weapon-skill progression is so tiny, you cant even see it move while using the gun.

But i have to join you in this, i'm using my max-exped LMG (3slot baby), but yesterday in the co-op instance i reached LMG rank4.

This happened to my Carbine yesterday evening.. I thought there may be a hidden tab with weapon exp on that I could not see. So far can't see any information on it any where!!! Wish there was a PDF for the menu options for the Xbox... lol

Well there is a menu that shows every weapon type and the players current exp in them if that's what your referring to. I'm maxed exp on Deadeye sniper rifle and still fill up the bar. Haven't come across another sniper rifle yet so I don't know what that really even means.

What the h**l! I had read on here that you couldn't get xp for your weapon after it was maxed... so yesterday I sold off all my maxed out weapons.. damn! This is good news though... I won't have to do that again : )

[Niurok]

For that particular weapon if its maxed you don't gain anymore, BUT for the actual weapon tree/type it keeps on going until it hit like lvl 20 I think that's what I saw in the alpha version.

Oh thank goodness! Thanks for the info.

[PseudoCool]

Ok.. lets get this out there (since I'm one that's been talking about the "xp bar" for individual weapons)

In Alpha AND Beta, if the weapon damage bar (xp bar) was FULL, you no longer gained any CLASS XP for that weapon type. If this has been changed or not for launch (and I sure hope it has OFFICIALLY BEEN CHANGED and it's not just a bug), then that's a great thing! However, I'd like to see a Dev comment on it, since in game it tells you that once this occurs, you should NOT be getting more class XP for the weapon.

Nothing against anyone who's posting otherwise, but I think some clarification on the issue is needed ASAP by "competent authority".

Really glad they didn't go through with this stupid mechanic, I could never get anyone to give me one example of how this mechanic would make the game better, but they refused to take it out of alpha.

weird - i used one of my SMG-s (maxed) for over 4 hours and my SMG skill bar didnt progress at all Oo
