Weapon LvLing; A Question.

[Pyohehgah]

While I'm hunting for an actual guide book of some sorts, I figured I'd toss my question out here...

So I gain skill LvLs while using various weapons, IE I gain LvLs with my BA Snipe by using the BA snipe, I get that, but... When I look at the BA Snipe I've been using, it has an XP Bar on the actual weapon that's maxed out, and I can't recall the last time I gained a skill LvL with my BA Snipe... Does that mean I need to use a new rifle to continue gaining skill LvLs with that particular weapon?

[kartana]

Exactly.

The problem is that I can't find a better weapon. I'm still using the same old ones I've got days ago... every reward and every drop is worse.

[Pyohehgah]

Frack my face then... Nothing I'm picking up is better since I modded my current BA Snipe with Tier 2 blue mods. THis is gonna suck =X

[Yezz]

Aye, - i realised that after a few hours and stopped modding weapons at all. Well, those 500scrip thinggies, but nothing serious. Its just a waste of scrip and salvage.

Now, having the skills a use at 20, i start looking for mods again. So, lets see - did i have more fun the last few days without modding and burning through 50 boltaction rifles? Guess what.

Nope.

Who the fudge had the idea to implement such a system for leveling a weapon skill? I just dont get it.

[kartana]

Well, the system would be ok if it would be like Borderlands were you constantly get newer and better weapons.

Welcome to the number one thing that grinds my gears about this game. It doesn't encourage getting good weapons; you want disposable weapons. You don't want a Legendary good one; you want an endless supply of crappy white quality weapons!

I disagree completely... The idea is you find disposable weaps to grind levels, but when you come across an orange, purple or even a blue that fits ur desired build ie. assassin, quartermaster w/e.. you keep it and hope it has nice bonuses. The hard thing will be grinding mods for the specific synergy AND weapon type.

At this point I wish I was Korean 'cause daym that be a lot of combinations

I believe that once your weapon maxes out, you need to get another weapon of the same type to continue leveling. You can always remove the mods from your rifle before you scrap or sell it. So its not a waste because (i think) you can reuse the mods, and your hunting was helped by the mods.

Frack no. Remove mods needs to be name changed to Destroy Mods. /stoopidly angreh panda bahr When I tried to get my mods back the first time -_-'

EDIT : My wife's a gamer as well, but she's the one that plays Assassin's Creed, Grand Theft Auto, Sims, Gears of War... I told her about the hoops you gotta go through to add mod slots, then to add mods, then about the XP grind PER weapon, and she said that kinda sucks. Her jaw hit the ground though when I told her yer mods where destroyed if you tried to remove them though. Seriously, it was kinda funny. Then she said that was probably the dumbest **** she's ever heard =P
