Arkfall bosses, Do they give 10,000 exp when killed, do they give weapon exp?

[Xazur]

Lately i've been chasing arkfalls for the boss fight, mainly to tag it and get 10,000 exp which i've noticed. Also went to earn some free weapon exp just shooting a somewhat stationary target. Yet for the past 2 days I have not gotten exp or weapon exp from the bosses. Can anyone else confirm this?

Prolly didn't get the Kill-Shot in the last two days, is all.

Twice today I have been reloading when the Hellion has exploded.. twice I've seen 10,000k exp float up the screen, and twice I've checked and received the exp.. not sure what's going on there.. especially as my stats for the last ark fall was 68 kills, zero damage done?

Gadzooks, my fine fellow!! Is that what causes it? I will have to refrain from throwing clusters at the Ark.. Noah will be pleased

Weapon XP is NOT earned at the larger arkfalls. I do believe some of them you do get weapon xp (the smaller single arkfall ones).

The 10k or sometimes less (i got between 5 and 10k) is from the boss kill shot is awarded to several people and yes i have received it too during a reload after a heavy 128 clip overcharged saw into her. I do believe if you landed enough damage into the boss moments before she dies you get this bonus.

Mother hellbug give weapon xp. The rest of Arkfalls boss don't.

I just got an LMG level while blasting a matron so she certainly gives weapon XP.

LOL, then I have been getting cheated.. 3500+ EGO and more arkfalls than you can shake a stick at and never got one point in weapon xp in a major arkfall.... The only time i have is by killing something that was not part of the event (raiders at a bug arkfall, etc)

Good to know, but I am not going near any Arkfal except Hell Bug Destruction which has Helion boss at the end until I have my full 2500 Arkfal kills. I know that sucker reset many times over before I realized I need to stick with one Arkfal type. I already have the 1000 kills and now I just inch toward the 2500 ever slowly cause not much motivation to bother doing Arkfals and I am tried of doing just the Hell Bug Destruction.

Stupid kill count reset bugs

On the plus side I have 57 Revives and hopefully will get that one done as well. The only real benefit of this grind is hopefully a cool Costume.
