xp on kill or damage

[Westman]

Do I get xp on my gear if i kill an enemy or if I damage them with a weapon? Wondering because i can switch up melee and primary for example.

You only get Affinity (XP) on a KILL.
The way that Affinity divides between your equipment differs depending on whether you kill it or a teammate does.
The link above will give all of that info.

For Solo it's like this basically.

Warframe gets exp from all kills no matter what.

Then the only other thing that will get EXP from kills is the weapon you're actively using.

The other weapons you're not using to kill enemies won't get anything from the kills.This can clearly been seen when you do stealth kills and the other weapons sits at 0 EXP when your main killing weapon gets a few hundred thousand.


If you play with others the EXP is shared between all stuff from kills they do. But if someone does a lot of kills with Warframe abilities you get more exp to warframe than your weapons.

Warframe Ability Kill: 100% XP to Warframe

Weapon Kill: 50% XP to Warframe, 50% to Weapon used.

Ally Kill/Shared/Objective Affinity: 25% to Warframe, 75% split between equipped weapons (3 = 25% each, 2 = 37.5% each, 1 = 75%).

If I'm in a party with no weapons will my Warframe get all the xp? or should you have atleast have one weapon even if it's max ranked? And will xp go to warframe even if it is max level if I use a weapon? Thank you sir

Yeah, you can't remove all three weapons, you're forced to keep at least one equipped. And yes, the portion of XP that goes to the Warframe will continue to go to it even when maxed, thus wasting it.

If you get far enough into the game however, you will unlock a new mechanic that will let you make use of that would-be wasted XP that goes into maxed out equipment, but that's not until Neptune.

Focus. You'll unlock it when you complete the Second Dream quest. I suggest not looking it up for now, you'll heavily spoil yourself to the story. The Second Dream is the first major cinematic quest, current out of three ( The War Within and the Sacrifice).
