Weapon Leveling

[Grey]

I'm pretty sure your guns level with you can anyone confirm this?

[Kennedy]

I don't think that is the case, Castiel.

As you use a weapon, it fills the weapons xp bar. On filling the xp bar that weapon gains a small, random boost, like faster reload.

Guns do "level" with you in the sense that as you gain ego perks and raise your ego powers you can use them to make your weapons do more damage, or recharge ammo, etc.

[Kennedy]

Does the actual weapon gain the bonuses?
I was under the impression that it was your skill level in that weapon class that gave the bonuses.

Well I "Ranked Up" my TACC Assault rifle. It gave the gun an extra passive ability, but as far as an EGO rating boost, I don't think that happens.

The gun and the gun's class both level up. Every time you kill a enemy with that weapon, its class will level up and grant a bonus to all weapons in that class. The gun you use will also level up over time and will give you a small bonus to that weapon you used

I've learned something new as well then.
Thanks guys!

[StarFire]

Isn't it so that if you use a weapon that you've fully leveled, you won't gain any experience for the weapon class?

What i don't understand is why doesn't the weapon xp carry over to a new weapon in the same category?
For example i was using a shotgun that is already half way in level, i looted a better shotgun of the same category (pump shotgun)
shouldn't the xp carry over?
I mean we are always going to find better weapons than what we have so it kind of doesn't make sense to keep using that one gun to level the class up when you can use a gun that does double damage to kill enemies quicker.
