Weapon Experience - Maxing out within a few hours

[JBoneFX]

I don't like switching weapons everyday, but I can't gain weapon skill if my gun is maxed out. So any legitimate info on maximizing weapon experience without burning out your guns so quickly, or is that just the way it is?

That's the way it is.

People are saying you don't gain weapon xp in Arkfalls, so you could always pull out your favourite maxed weapons for those. And PVP, of course.

But why should people do that? You get the same rewards for running over one tiny bug compared to staying for the entire event.

When you find a gun you really like, just hang onto it even after you've maxed it. When you've maxed out your "leveling" guns, or you absolutely need your "best" than swap back to it. Been working for me so far.

Oh is this really true.. thats the thing I havent figured out yet.

No, skill xp is tied directly to the xp you gain per weapon. So it will always take x number of weapons to max your skill.

I kind of hated this at first, but found it to be more interesting going through getting different guns. Gives a purpose to getting drops and buying lockboxes, and I find different guns of the same basic types with different flavors. Kind of keeps you on your toes more, I guess.

For some, I guess. For me it just meant I found a vendor with green guns with a bonus I liked and bought 10 of them at a time.

System is kinda stupid IMO

I have a purple VBI SMG with 10% Ego Power recharge on a reload, radiation ammo and x1.9 crit damage.

I also have a purple VBI Invader with 15% grenade recharge on a kill, 25% stowed weapon clip reloaded on a kill.

Both are maxed out, but I hang on to them because they are just so brilliant. If I find something I can't quite beat with a regular weapon xp levelling loadout I switch to one with either of those in and destroy stuff.
