Can we have more ways to get weapon XP?

[miffy ᠌]

Some weapon are just pain in the ass to master, like flamethrower, E-pulse pistol, Ranger SMG, Engineer shotgun, the main problem of those weapons are either short range or super low damage; Maybe we can get weapon XP from grenade kill, MG kill, victory give you fixed amount of XP depends of mode & difficulty, scale the weapon XP you get from difficulty & mutation?

Hive mode, horde mode, or map with let there be bugs and warrior ambush/tiger ambush.

Other than those I wouldn't count on weapon XP change for a while if it does change.

I just finished mastering everything yesterday, my tip is to aim for tiger mutators and/or hives that you only blow eggs when it's a tiger core(you can see which type it is when you open up your tac map)

Yeah Tiger Mutators are some of the best things you can aim for. Still can be pretty difficult for the close range stuff though as sometimes you have to overextend a bit otherwise you won't be able to tag.

Find shot guns, smg & flamer to level really slow. All other weapons level really fast. It just doesn't add up to me.

- High fire rate weapons level up faster in Hive mode
- Low fire rate weapons depend more on large insect mutators, tiger, grenadiers, inferno.

For example, the flamethrower is incredibly easy to level up in [/b]hive mode[/b] by burning eggs, you get an insane amount of exp, and sometimes up to 2 royal guards appear, these are worth up to 200xp.

Hive mode is not a very popular game mode, but it is a very fast mode, even losing you get a lot of experience, so the result is almost indifferent.
Just kill everything you can, especially eggs, even the ones on the ceiling.

Unfortunately you will have to be patient in hive mode, as I said not many play it, so sign up and do something else while.
Once you find a game, players are likely to repeat.

I almost have all the weapons mastered xD

I could see an adjustment to the amount of xp certain weapons get, because the disparity of time it takes to max out can be huge. For example, between the shotguns, although most are among the slowest to level you have a far worse time levelling the single shot slug than the spread shotgun. You can try to focus larger targets with the slug but you still get massive damage drop off at short distance and have to contend with the other bugs between you & the larger ones.

Having to rely on certain mutators doesn't make total sense to me. Some people might love a way a certain gun feels, but not want to play on a particular mutator & in that case might feel penalised just because they're a more casual player.

i have found if you can complete round 5 on horde mode your looking at fair xp not the best but fair but i agree with others horde mode more then likely fastest way to level up your weapon xp

The auto shotgun is ez, it uses slug round, just shoot a tiger like 3 times and you get the xp, the other shootguns are so slow to level up
