Weapon available to other classes

[poodlebb]

Under what condition a weapon is available to ALL other classes to use? I realize the Hawkeye is now can be used with ALL my classes.

reach lvl 10 with the weapon, lvl your class to corresponding weapon unlock

I wish they had double weapon XP days. Some of these weapons are going to take forever to level.

Exp boosters will be coming back, but they needed to see how the new progression worked without the boosters to know how to balance it.

GL and hawkeye are very fast, but yeah, I'm working on the shotguns and it's absurdly slow. The morita carbine is also taking forever.

If you want to level your weapon fast , it is better to shoot as many bugs as you can in the vicinity , a few bullets is all it need to register kill-assist XP , don't have to kill it .

Carbine run Hives it the fastest way easy and normal are doable solo, or with another ranger, to level the weapon switch between emancipator and the carbine from memory you gain points for both weapons.

Shotguns are semi easy to level you just have to hit the high point targets.

so.... is it 1 bug = 1 point? ... cus the number of royals ive emancipated feel like my number should already be full.

No it's based on the bug xp rewarded for the bug killed, so a tiger is 50xp for weapon mastery

I will admit exp gains on pistols need to be changed, as 2 of the 3 are available on all classes and mastery ultimately doesn't matter. After hitting L3 on the Peacekeeper and Emancipator I stopped sinking unnecessary time into them. Once you get extended mags that's really all you need.

As for the E weapons and shotguns, it all depends on playstyle. Slug took a while to master but my ranger build results in some of the most fun I've had with the game, and imo is the best of the 3. The problem with shottys is they're primarily only effective against warriors. E weapons on the other hand are good against everything, they just have horrible range and you have an increased risk of hitting other troopers. A medic with E rifle and pistol can put down a lot of bugs and has high survivability in the field via its ability and perks. E sniper also performs well during sandstorm via visor and height perk, and is capable of covering long distances with Marathon Runner.

IMHO the absolute worst gun is the rangers smg. It's not the worst thing to level, but it just does not perform nearly as well as other weapons.

It's not a bad replacement for a sniper's pistol, but otherwise, it's probably the worst weapon. I'm using the carbine instead.

Wait is it considered a secondary on other classes? I toyed with the idea of a demolisher with xxx/smg, but if a sniper can do that I might have to start leveling it again.

No, it's just a primary. It needs a little tweaking, but it's not far off being really good.

I would like a machine pistol type secondary weapon.

It should be. But it's not. I have swapped it during missions where it was a drop and having a xxx morita and smg was a solid combo. But as a primary? It's trash.
