Lower weapon unlock levels.

[V_]

It takes roughly 15hours to reach level 25. Many weapons are unlocked past level 100 which would easily require hundreds of hours since progression slows down.

This should be drastically lowered, it was already slow in the playtest. This is significantly slower than the playtest.

Yes it's ridiculous. There is no reason to keep it that grindy. Weapon unlocks are a short term goal to grind for. My motivation for example slowly dies when it takes 30hrs playtime to get some guns you want.

I fully agree with you, it felt grindy in the playtest but was bearable. This is insane, having to spend 50+hours just to get the gun (not even the attachments) that you want is ridiculous. Not sure why they decided to up the requirements but they have to lower it.

Future new players will be dissuaded by the gap with older players and just refund the game.

if it'd be too fast, people would cry that u unlock everything too fast then there's nothing. If it takes a long ass time it gives u something to aim for since it's not like the next new weapon is the best weapon, while they can push more or content come up with ways to give people more to grind for.

That's why the pace in the playtests was much much better :)

The grind should be for cosmetics, not for things that impact gameplay and the enjoyment of the game.

15 hours to level 25? Nah, I only had 13.3 hrs in the play tests & I made it to level 35-ish. Maybe try playing the obj. or RPG spamming buildings & vehicles. Thats what helped me advance quickly.

That's still very slow considering many unlocks are now level like 3-4x higher than before.

They have a higher level req for unlocks than in the playtest. Have you even played EA?

Different level requirements and the playtests had faster leveling so people could try everything.

Unlocking stuff has gotten old. Can we just have every weapon available from the start?

Fully agree, grinding should be for cosmetics. Or at least give us all the guns and we unlock attachments for the ones we want to use.

I agree, they should drastically lower the level requirements. Thankfully a dev said in another post that they're going to work on this, hopefully its decreased massively and not just a decrease of 10levels.
