how do you level up weapon skills?

[Saluki]

OK. Doesnt make sense to argue since this may all be issues with an unfinished game.

I know two facts. I get weapon exp during arkfalls. I get no message telling me I have maxed out the weapon I am carrying.

If for the rest of you the situation is reversed, I am sorry cause Ill take the scenario Im in over the alternative.

One more level in LMG's to go then Ill have my passive damage bonus and never have to worry about maxing out another saw.

Further Ill be able to equip the awesome purple siphon saw I have for good (till I find an orange saw lol).

The game is glitched more than you ever thought. Or you're just not observant.

Either is plausible.

This has remained a civil conversation. I dont think there was any need to get rude. The message does not pop up, I might have missed it once but not the 50 or 60 times ive maxed out saws.

WHAT?? no Im sorry it doesnt. Ive probably maxed out about 60 plus saws, either you are intentionally misunderstanding the issue or the game is glitched more than I ever thought.

What about that was civil? Or are you intentionally misunderstanding your words?

[Saluki]

yes.

Uh yeah. Someone in my clan told me that so I tested the theory. I checked the exp on both my saws before I started an arkfall and after it finished and indeed they both went up.

Is it just me and thats a glitch? In this game I suppose thats possible or maybe its some people who are glitched negatively.

Tested it on an arkfall to see if anything had changed inadvertently and it doesn't seem to have.

After arkfall:

He was probably shooting emergency mobs or something inside an arkfall. The rule is not "no weapon exp during arkfalls", but "no weapon exp from shooting arkfall mobs".

[Saluki]

Well I didnt take screenshots but I did go do an arkfall and yes my guns both gained exp. As a matter of fact one was easy to see as I went in with one fresh gun with no exp on it. After the arkfall it had gained 41000 points.

[Saluki]

There were no emergencies in the Arkfall area.

[Aternak]

Well, I guess you have an extremely lucky and unlikely personal glitch then, somehow, because by design you are not supposed to get any weapon exp from arkfall mobs. But please, try it once more, maybe shooting at arkfall crystals and checking the exp, or maybe hellions and progenitors. I am really doubtful that you really have some kind of personal glitch that nobody else has.

The different type of arkfall might be a good point to bring up. I tested doing a Hellbug Arkfall with a Hellion as the boss. I also made sure to shoot each type of mob at least once in case that would alter anything, as well as one Crystal.
