weapon skill exp not raising

[Merlinus]

anyone else having this problem? i've been using this light machine gun for along time now cause i got it fully modded out. i've been killing with it for over a day now and when i check my char skill stats the exp bar is just not moving, i've been stuck at lvl 2 LMG's for over a day and its not going up =(
my runners skills is going up, my other weapon skills seems to be moving abit but i mainly use LMG and at ego lvl 300+ you'd figure i'd be well over lvl 2 with my main weapon i'm always using for quests, pvp, and co-op maps.

Have you tried using another LMG or swapping it out for another weapon temporarily.
This is concerning because it WAS an issue in beta, that people have said now is fixed - was a thread on it earlier today in General.

You have to realize that the undividual gun and the gun category rank based on the other. If your individual gun is fully ranked then using it further will not raise the level of the gun category (LMG/AR/etc). Use another gun and rank that up. That is what I have seen so far anyway. Not sure if by design or glitch

Having the same issue atm.

Thank god I kept a spare assault rifle with similar stats on me...

Blegh, think of all the possible experience I've wasted so far

ya just sucks knowing all the exp i lost. i've just been using other weapon types and i've still yet to find another LMG to use to get my skill back moving =(
kinda surprised to see some of the same big bugs from beta, i've also had a weapon disappear on me from trying to add a mod, so there went a nice blue and like 15K green currency to upgrade the slots =( hope they fix this soon.

Once the exp is maxed in a weapon you need to swap to a fresh one to carry on gaining weapon skill exp.

is this a work around for a bug or is it part of the game?

This guy is right

Part of the game not a bug. Also trading a fully experienced out weapon to another person doesn't work as it will still retain its experience that you gained with it.

I have had the same issue as well. My Bolt action sniper rifle, Infector, and Rocket Launcher have not lvled.
