how do you level up weapon skills?

[Saluki]

It does. It looks exactly same as skillup, just with weapon-name instead of skill-name and without that little text withskillup bonus. But graphicaly it looks same.

So what you are syaing is that Im using a Frontier Saw and that when I max out that individual Frontier Saw, that somewhere on my screen a message is going to pop up that says I maxed out my Frontier Saw???

PC. We seem to understand the system just fine :P

Weapons get experience until they get a level. Then they are capped.

Weapon skill experience is a different thing. It's what you work on to get passive bonuses that are always present, and not just an effect with the gun you leveled up.

Well then I can attribute SOME of the confusion to the fact Im on xbox, there is no such pop up message about an individual gun leveling.

Right in the center of your screen, just like when you level up your Runner or Roller, or get a weapon skill exp level.

Thanks everyone for the quick responses!

much appreciated.

Too bad it works that way. I guess I need to keep my inventory stocked with crap alt weapons to keep leveling my skill. Wish I would have picked up on this before I got so far in the main missions :/ . I also wish the little XP bar beneath the weapon didn't lead me to think that I was progressing all this time. Oh well.

Thanks for the advice on leveling my weapon. Guess I will have to stop playing and start grinding if I want my weapon skill to catch up with my ego rating. Woo.

OMG

Yes I know that. Im ego level 1400 and my LMG skill is 19. Ive seen that message 18 times now. What I have never seen because it does not pop up is a message that says my INDIVIDUAL WEAPON that I am carrying has reached its max exp. Just because you level up in a weapon skill does not mean that your in game weapon has reached its exp cap!!!

/facepalm

The message that pops up will have the weapon name in it rather than the skill.

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.

The game will NOT popup info about your gun being maxed out. You will have to check for yourself.

It does for me.

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

Either is plausible.
