Why don't weapons have individual levels_ For example, On my Sharp shooter, I have to wade through levels of the SA hawkens, which I'm not even using, to get my Slug rifle leveled up_ I suppose you could argue that it would encourage weapon variety, but eventually my primary weapon would be fully leveled and I would have to use the alt primary to get my mech to level 20.

P.S. bring back patrick

who is patrick_

I like this idea a lot. But i can foresee some whiny players complaining about the fact that they have to use a weapon they dislike in order to reach the max level of their mech.

Personally i somewhat like the idea of forcing a player to gain experience with both weapons as he will improve his skill and knowledge of the game in the process.

this is patrick

I know that I never really used the SMC on my bruiser leveling it up, and I didn't realize its usefulness until well after I hit 20.

Would be interesting to see this. Kind of like the idea of making people use the other gun if you will. Like the forced to use the EOC repeater on rocketeer haha

EOC repeater, as a trigger happy player , by the time the EOC is Cocked and loaded for firing , i am either dead or I am hitting jack zero target , what a dumb moron stupid weapon seriously, they need to ditch that gun and give me like a Light machine gun or a Mini Stinger rocket gun... just point and fire .

Major flaw: people will join games and just spam weapon fire to level their weapons instead of, you know, playing.

That's not really what I said. At the end of round, when exp is allocated, you'd level the weapons you got kills with.

Loved this mechanic in borderlands where you could gain levels on the different weapon classes depending on usage.
do want!

No, that was an incredibly retarded mechanic that I'm glad did not survive to the sequel.
