How do I unlock Martini-Henry Ironside?

[Grief Factory Employee]

I unlocked everything before it, and arsenal book says I require 2500xp with any Martini-Henry IC1 variant. I play with the default martini and the % does not go up.
Do I have to survive for the weapon xp % to go up? I thought you can die and still unlock stuff.

I played 3 games where I had 4-5 kills each but I ended up dead, and the Ironside is still at 0%. That is why I'm confused.

Do you have the unlock before the ironside?

Check your Book of Weapons in the Library, the Martini-Henry has 7 total unlocks with the Ironside being last. Each one prior has to be unlocked first before any points go toward unlocking it.

I had all of them unlocked. The solution was: play with something else than the default Henri. I played with the bayonet and it worked.

You suffer through it. It's literally the LAST unlockable in its tree, and the end result is a miscreation that obscures alot of your screen ...

I think it's a bug sometimes, I've had other weapons not increase on EXP after I killed several enemies thinking I needed to survive for the EXP to go up only for the next match to give me exp even tho I died. The unlockable path was a bit confusing at first, they could do a better system then just "Unlock this" then "gain EXP" perhaps just making it one long EXP path because that's what it is. After each unlock it just tells you, you need more EXP and it continues if in the same game so if you need 500 EXP for 1 unlock and need 1000 EXP for the next it will continue if you earn over 500 EXP in one game. Also REALLY dislike the book to view unlock paths because it's just a flash bang lol, also if they could make it a way to check unlockables for a gun rather then trying to find a piece that isn't unlocked and having to click on it to then be able to click on the icon to be taken to said flash bang of a book in order to view the upgrade to check progress is a bit much.

But ya it's either a visual bug or a bug that doesn't record EXP, I had it on other guns too just gotta use it specifically to gain EXP which is annoying becuase if you wanted to kill grunts for some EXP you either have to shoot or melee with the butt of the gun or kill players, until you unlock the riposte then it's easier but for alot of other guns it can be a real pain in the ass to grind the EXP to unlock stuff for it outside of killing players.
