PVP Weapon Unlocks

A list of weapons you can obtain in Eternal War, including the level requirements for each one. I made this because there's no concise way to see 'when unlocks what' for PVP out there or in the game. You can also use my list as a heads up so you can know what to expect when fighting against somebody of a certain level.

Starting equipment

You begin at veterancy level 1. This is the selection of equipment you start off with.

	Tactical	Assault	Vanguard	Bulwark	Sniper	Heavy
Primary	Bolt Rifle	N/A*	Occulus Bolt Carbine	N/A*	Bolt Sniper Rifle	Heavy Bolter
Secondary	Bolt Pistol*	Bolt Pistol	Bolt Pistol	Bolt Pistol	Bolt Pistol	Bolt Pistol
Melee	Chainsword*	Chainsword	Combat Knife	Chainsword	Combat Knife*	N/A*
Grenade	Frag Grenade	Frag Grenade	Frag Grenade	Frag Grenade	Frag Grenade	Frag Grenade

This table does not account for weapon selections in Operations.

* No other choices in that slot for that class. No further unlocks await here.

Weapon unlocks

Each level up gives you a brand new weapon to play with. The weapons (except grenades) are separate per class, so some like the Plasma Pistol will appear twice since one is for Heavy and another is for Bulwark. However, grenades you unlock are shared across all classes.

Level	Reward	Class
2	Auto Bolt Rifle	Tactical
3	Heavy Bolt Rifle	Tactical
4	Thunder Hammer	Assault
5	Shock Grenade*	All
6	Plasma Pistol*	Heavy
7	Plasma Pistol	Bulwark
8	Bolt Carbine	Sniper
9	Power Sword*	Bulwark
10	Bolt Carbine*	Tactical
11	Chainsword	Vanguard
12	Marksman Bolt Carbine	Tactical
13	Krak Grenade	All
14	Heavy Bolt Pistol	Assault
15	Multi Melta	Heavy
16	Instigator Bolt Carbine	Vanguard
17	Stalker Bolt Rifle	Sniper
18	Power Fist	Assault
19	Melta Rifle	Tactical
20	Melta Bomb	All
21	Power Fist	Bulwark
22	Stalker Bolt Rifle	Tactical
23	Heavy Plasma Incinerator	Heavy
24	Las Fusil	Sniper
25	Plasma Incinerator	Tactical
26	Neo-Volkite Pistol	Vanguard
27	Neo-Volkite Pistol	Assault
28	Neo-Volkite Pistol	Bulwark
29	Inferno Pistol	Heavy
30	Inferno Pistol	Sniper
31	Inferno Pistol	Vanguard
32	Inferno Pistol	Assault

* I don't remember for sure and I'm going by deduction and old clips I recorded. Sorry if I'm wrong...

Note

I started writing this guide at level 13. The game does not show me level requirements for weapons I've already unlocked, but hopefully I got nothing wrong!

Personal opinion

The problem

This list of weapon unlocks is starting to get pretty bloated now. You can see that everything past 25 is not diverse at all, and that the latest weapons are just chucked into Eternal War with little thought on the gaming experience of unlocking them. You'd have to be fighting in PVP for weeks non-stop to get a Neo-Volkite Pistol for a class you might not even like. More days of fighting, another Neo-Volkite Pistol. And then after you're finally through the Neo-Volkite arc, it's the same thing again with the Inferno Pistols - only this time its longer because the experience quota for each level grows and grows.

It's not very exciting past level 26, and it even sounds daunting considering the state of PVP. A system like this is detrimental since only the best players have access to the most useful and diverse loadouts, which will be used to gain an unfair advantage against newer players. Unfair is unfun, and will contribute to the decay of Eternal War unless something is done about it.

My solution

I think this needs to be reworked completely. Weapons should be purchased through a shop instead of a predetermined weapon being given to you per level. Each time you level up, a new coin should be given to you, which can be used to buy any weapon of your choice - NO RESTRICTIONS. And buying a weapon should be unlocked across ALL the classes it's allowed for, so no more duplicates to pad out the progression longer than needed.

This should make things much more fairer to new players, with the added benefit of seeing more diverse loadouts and playstyles across all games forever.

I take my words back about the bolt pistol, it doesn't suck I just had a skill issue

[Muscles]

After trying it out I think I actually prefer the normal pistol for Assault. I'm more annoyed that the only other primary weapon for Vanguard is locked behind level 16

[Grey Mauser]

I genuinely don't understand why you have to be lvl 14 to get the Heavy Bolt Pistol on assault. The default one just sucks so much man.
