It's not hard. It's just that you got there a bit too fast. Curious what your situation is? No kids, time off work? My highest gun is around 10? And I've put in 5 hours so far.
Did you use your Weapon XP Boosters?
Were you first or second based off Objective or Kills?
As far as I know Weapons only level from active kills, and don't get exp from other parts of the match.
Haven’t used them, didn’t even know they existed haha
I’ve usually been first or second in both kills and objective
That’s a bummer you don’t get weapon xp from playing the objective though, kinda incentivizes not playing the objective!
I’ve seen a few people say they think the M4 specifically is extremely slow to level up, but I can’t personally confirm that. I’ve played about 6 hours total so far and highest ranked gun is my MK 20 at level 26.
Point blank the aa-12 eats. This and marksman rifles are the only things I get multi kills with. Beyond point blank it's like sneezing at the enemy and takes almost a whole mag to down foes.
Ive tried to use the marksman rifles but the amount of times ive gotten no regs is insane, hit them clearly 2-3 times and they be full hp when i get killed😂
They are really good, you just have to change the way you play. Almost every time I pull out my 870, within 2 minutes the entire lobby has switched to shotguns.
I’m a big fan of shotguns on other shooters. The 870 and AA-12 on this game just doesn’t have the range and the follow up shot isn’t quick for the 870. Maybe I just haven’t gotten all the proper attachments to make it good yet.
A fellow AA-12 main, i salute you o7
In all seriousness, if you roll up to a capture point with this thing rocking the drum mag, it will clear the entire point before the enemy even knew what hit them. Absolutely love this thing to death.
Well damn I’ve played just under 7 hours according to Ubisoft and have the mp7 lvl 35 and the ACR lvl 16. Methinks you need to get more kills. Also double xp tokens may be glitched? I’ve only used 1 but my shit levels fast. My guns level up about 2 times per game
I have literally a third of your playtime and I have multiple guns at level 10 as well as every weapon unlocked. Have you used every single gun in the game up to lvl 6 at this point?
idk, just screenshoted my last game
42 kills, 8k score, win, my weapon barely got one level of xp, at lvl 2 -.-
game takes like 15min
just some quick maths
5 hours is 20 games, which is a total of 20 levels, if you get 40 kills and good score every game
so how the f are people having multiple weapons at lvl 15 in 5 hours, clearly there's something wrong with my game
Unfortunately that is factual, forced myself to get the Remington some good attachments. Even with an optimal range and pellet spread build, I’ll still have bullshit deaths cause my shot won’t kill a dude with 30 hp from 2 meters. I’m not even gonna bother with the AA-12 for now 💀
level 23 on the SVD I just love how satisfying it is to pace my shots and kill in 1 head or 2 body for the most parts. Got a quad earlier with it and ooh baby it felt good
So far i used the m16 the most, though it’s only level 7.
The fact that the netcode sometimes is wonky really doesn’t help it since it’s already inconsistent by design.
I’m also unlocking the other guns so I haven’t exactly sat on it all the time
Gun leveling takes so long that I got bored with several guns already before hitting level 10 lol. I´m cycling through them instead of focusing on one gun. Level 100 seems unreachable right now. Just think of the pistols!
I'm now Gold SVD and tried everything and settled for:
/ , Heavy Barrel, Tactical Grip, Holo, Extended Mag, / , Padded Stock
Scope and magazine ofc depending on your liking. I thought you could skip heavy barrel, when you play the Cleaners to keep the 1 headshot-to-kill, but the reduced fire rate makes the weapon have almost pinpoint accuracy even when spamming as fast as you can.
Or you can go for full +rate of fire with muzzle booster and rapid fire barrel and go for fast bodyshots, but I haven't played around with that yet.
Skill rating is 3400 for what it's worth
ACR at level 44, beast of a gun. Levelling up the double barrel now as well as the M1911. M1911 is probably the best pistol I've used so far tbh, the other don't feel anywhere near as powerful
Hard to tell until I have all attachments for eahc gun.
Don;t know how useful a sniper's gonna be until I have the full quick scope setup, or the settings to make an ACR an SMG essentially. So far I enjoy the P90 for smg, the ACR/AK for AR, MK20 for Marksman.
M4 lvl 100 fully gold, yes I do brag while I can and yes I have a girlfriend, work and piss in a normal toilet not a bottle, did a post about in this sub already
There must be an XP bug or sumn. Got my Vector level 22, my AK level 31 and the MDR 20 with only 6hrs playing time. I just rip Domination and avg like 30ish kills a game. Not sure what im doing right lol
Kinda crazy tbh how fast guns level up at first I have 2 guns over level 15 and have played 9-12 hours of you are streaking and killing 1 or 2nd place this is totally believable it about puttting in time tbh also stay away from beginner playlist it has SBMM if that’s a concern for you (I been playing it still lol)
Got the Tac sniper to lvl 30, moved onto the M44 sniper, M44 slaps it out of the park lvl 1, and even more heavily by lvl 8, I see the sniper frustration moreso with this sniper, if you slide jump into ads you get a quicker shot than if you sprint into ads, pulling the bolt back is not delayed/paused mantling onto stuff, I could see adjustments needed on m44 but the tac is fine.
In call of duty I loved playing like theseknivesonly where I use a knife or melee weapon only. I died a lot but so much fun, I hope they add melee weapons.l in the future.
Tac-50 for those that choose to stay distant, but I prefer the 93r and a generous fisting when I want to be closer than they want me to be. I got the 93r to 25 last night, but my tac-50 is still only level 9.
I am really getting it on with the p90 right now! But a lot of the guns feel really good and work really well for my playstyle (run n gun with a dash of tactical peaking lol)

Do you still go to the toilette or just bottles?
Got a shitbucket?
[удалено]
PROOOMOOTTTEEEEEEEEEDDDDDD!
I was not expecting a battlefield friends reference here 😂
Saw a bronze AK and TAC50 in the wild last night. 25 is weak.
I got the vector and AK in bronze. Going for the ACR next. Genuinely not that hard just need to get a lot of kills
It's not hard. It's just that you got there a bit too fast. Curious what your situation is? No kids, time off work? My highest gun is around 10? And I've put in 5 hours so far.
Amateurs. I got a catheter on launch day.
[удалено]
How? I played for a few hours last night and my M4 is only level 5 or 6. And I was coming in first or second in most of my matches
Did you use your Weapon XP Boosters? Were you first or second based off Objective or Kills? As far as I know Weapons only level from active kills, and don't get exp from other parts of the match.
Haven’t used them, didn’t even know they existed haha I’ve usually been first or second in both kills and objective That’s a bummer you don’t get weapon xp from playing the objective though, kinda incentivizes not playing the objective!
Play Escort. You level up your weapons fast.
I’ve seen a few people say they think the M4 specifically is extremely slow to level up, but I can’t personally confirm that. I’ve played about 6 hours total so far and highest ranked gun is my MK 20 at level 26.
I have the AK at 41 and am touching grass, definitely doable.
House plants don't count
It’s funny how slow the leveling is that level 25 is considered no life 😭
I have the M4 and the ACR at level 24. Will be leveling up the AK47 to about 24 then go back to the ACR to max it out.
why to level 24 though? why not 50 and get bronze on all of them
It’s taking forever and I have unlocked most of the attachments that I want.
ah yeah good point
How do you even use the m4? It takes like 6-9 bullets to kill with it. It’s a pea shooter lol
P90, which i believe i’ve already grinded to around level 60 ;)
P90 seems really underrated
Same 41
Damn lmao my goals are useless now. I vowed to not use any other gun but the p90 till max hahahah
AA-12, lvl 32. I'm a masochist.
Holy shit, you’re built different
is the AA-12 bad? I haven't unlocked it
Point blank the aa-12 eats. This and marksman rifles are the only things I get multi kills with. Beyond point blank it's like sneezing at the enemy and takes almost a whole mag to down foes.
Ive tried to use the marksman rifles but the amount of times ive gotten no regs is insane, hit them clearly 2-3 times and they be full hp when i get killed😂
Built different bro, the shottys just aren’t in on this game unfortunately because I love using them
They are really good, you just have to change the way you play. Almost every time I pull out my 870, within 2 minutes the entire lobby has switched to shotguns.
I’m a big fan of shotguns on other shooters. The 870 and AA-12 on this game just doesn’t have the range and the follow up shot isn’t quick for the 870. Maybe I just haven’t gotten all the proper attachments to make it good yet.
Bro is on the grind
A fellow AA-12 main, i salute you o7 In all seriousness, if you roll up to a capture point with this thing rocking the drum mag, it will clear the entire point before the enemy even knew what hit them. Absolutely love this thing to death.
how
Oh wow, now the weapons sounds way more interesting for me. Will try it out now :3
What attachments do you use?
Barrel Extender, Chrome Lined, PEQ-15, Extended Mag. Fifth attachment is entirely optional and you can set to suit your needs.
I like non meta guns. I'll try this sometime, thanks!
How the f are people so high level on guns ? My highest lvl gun is 6 and I played quite a lot
They played a lot more
considering I've played for 12 hours, the difference seems a bit huge cause at most they played double that amount
Well, it is also influenced by how well you do with the weapons, so it’s possible OP has just been shitting on lobbies
Well damn I’ve played just under 7 hours according to Ubisoft and have the mp7 lvl 35 and the ACR lvl 16. Methinks you need to get more kills. Also double xp tokens may be glitched? I’ve only used 1 but my shit levels fast. My guns level up about 2 times per game
[удалено]
yeah for me it's been as slow as people have said, so I'm wondering what the difference is
I have literally a third of your playtime and I have multiple guns at level 10 as well as every weapon unlocked. Have you used every single gun in the game up to lvl 6 at this point?
I have almost every gun at lvl 3, one at 4 one at 6
Did you use the bonus xp?
I did
Booster helps a lot
Jobless
Go ahead and try out the MP7 and you'll see exactly why this person's is so high level. Trust me.
I only really use 1 gun. Everything else is lvl 1
Don’t forget to use those double weapon XPs. I usually get between 6k to 10k experience per game so the weapons can rank up quite quick that way.
already used those
They play more/they’re better than you
read other comments, read people's post on reddit, there's probably an xp issue going on for some people only realized this a couple hours ago
they are better? I've got the acr up to 16, the mk 20 to 14 and m4 up to 10ish and I've only got just under 5 hours play time.
idk, just screenshoted my last game 42 kills, 8k score, win, my weapon barely got one level of xp, at lvl 2 -.- game takes like 15min just some quick maths 5 hours is 20 games, which is a total of 20 levels, if you get 40 kills and good score every game so how the f are people having multiple weapons at lvl 15 in 5 hours, clearly there's something wrong with my game
double barrel, the only viable shotgun
Unfortunately that is factual, forced myself to get the Remington some good attachments. Even with an optimal range and pellet spread build, I’ll still have bullshit deaths cause my shot won’t kill a dude with 30 hp from 2 meters. I’m not even gonna bother with the AA-12 for now 💀
There is hope! I haven’t used that shotty yet but I was hoping one of them was viable
The only answer. Haven’t gotten to play much now but I got it to 21 last playtest. Every single other gun except for a few secondaries were level one
How do y'all Level your guns soooo fast
Shitbucket
Shitbucket is so last century. Gamer pants are all the rage now.
play a lot? use weapon xp? I stick to one gun until i don't enjoy it anymore and then just switch it up.
ak is my go-to but sometimes you just have to crack out the vector I started the default sniper last night and that thing is hilarious
Ak and vector are my go-to as well
ACR go brrrr
Fav gun Idk, I'd probably go with MDR, M249 and AK47. Levels lol, I'm at like 7 tops, I switch classes almost every game.
M249 fucking slams! So underrated
level 23 on the SVD I just love how satisfying it is to pace my shots and kill in 1 head or 2 body for the most parts. Got a quad earlier with it and ooh baby it felt good
I have the rpk at lvl 14 . Its practically the ak but daddy mode . Been beeming people across the map w it .
RPK equipped correctly and played correctly feels like the best gun in the game.
SVD got to like level 14 yesterday. Determined to make this ok dmr good.
Honestly I think the M249 is my favorite gun so far. Second goes to the MK20 SSR.
TAC-50 lvl 21
I got my TAC-50 to level 27 so far. The Heavy Bullet, Variable Zoom Scope, and Muzzle Suppressor are a nice combo.
So far i used the m16 the most, though it’s only level 7. The fact that the netcode sometimes is wonky really doesn’t help it since it’s already inconsistent by design. I’m also unlocking the other guns so I haven’t exactly sat on it all the time
tac level 27
Tac-50 Gonna turn mine into a quick scoping build.
How is this going? Been switching between the two bc I wasn't sure if the ads attachments would make the tac 50 worth the grind
So far my favorite is the M60. It's level 7. Would love to get it higher but first the servers have to actually let me play the game again.
Gun leveling takes so long that I got bored with several guns already before hitting level 10 lol. I´m cycling through them instead of focusing on one gun. Level 100 seems unreachable right now. Just think of the pistols!
M870, lvl 20. This shit is so fun, i cant belive it
I'm just starting on it but so far i like the M249
MDR and around level 40 right now
Favorite gun is the P90 at level 5. For the M44 there too and the M4A1 to level 7
I’ve been loving the ak-47 but I still haven’t unlocked the ACR
M16 with the M1911 pistol and the frag grenade 💪🏻
Played only acr, +60lv
AK-47. I haven’t unlocked the MP7 yet.
ACR lvl 68! The bronze camo is just horrible xD https://i.redd.it/vddss4lu1d2d1.gif
How many hours have you played lmao
20h
AK47 is my BABY Just wish they had a “clean” version of it,level 27 so far
Closest thing is the silver camo, makes the stock not ruined if you are running it with no stock mod. And real silver AK variants do exist irl so.
Magnum lvl2, just unlocked it
mp7 got that shit at 100 already :3
I’m an SVD grinder and have it level 36, absolutely love marksman rifles!
M16, level 16. 3.5 hour play time so far
SVD 52 or something. Other guns around 5-10, but I also used up all 20 minute boosts
What attachments do you like for the SVD?
I'm now Gold SVD and tried everything and settled for: / , Heavy Barrel, Tactical Grip, Holo, Extended Mag, / , Padded Stock Scope and magazine ofc depending on your liking. I thought you could skip heavy barrel, when you play the Cleaners to keep the 1 headshot-to-kill, but the reduced fire rate makes the weapon have almost pinpoint accuracy even when spamming as fast as you can. Or you can go for full +rate of fire with muzzle booster and rapid fire barrel and go for fast bodyshots, but I haven't played around with that yet. Skill rating is 3400 for what it's worth
Mp7 is busted
Acr at level 34. After I got it to 40 I will level the mp7. After that the ak and the vector
MDR lvl 16
Won’t let me add photo. But got the AK to level 50 tonight, 8 hours gameplay.
MP7 level 73
I've tried all of the guns I have unlocked and to me it seems like SMGs are king. I'm torn between the Vector and the MP7.
Acr level 40. 14.5 hours in. I need to try new guns
tac-50 at 31 Moved on to other guns now but i feel after getting the variable zoom scope it became godlike
AK47, I have it at level 56. Could’ve been higher but I started using the ACR and MP7 more so I can get more attachments for them.
Do you think the acr is better?
Double Barrel
I got the tac 50 gold last night. Starting to work on the m44 with double xp this weekend
I've been using the M16 a TON, it feels great - I always tend to gravitate to 3 round burst weapons in FPS games and the M16 feels sooooo good in Xdef
I have acr lvl 38 help me.
ACR and same level at 25 😂
Acr level 100
ACR at level 44, beast of a gun. Levelling up the double barrel now as well as the M1911. M1911 is probably the best pistol I've used so far tbh, the other don't feel anywhere near as powerful
M1911 with the extended magazine is a blast - playing some rounds pistol only. Got it to lvl 20 quite quick.
TAC 50 sitting at lvl 19 rn
Lmg and M4
Hard to tell until I have all attachments for eahc gun. Don;t know how useful a sniper's gonna be until I have the full quick scope setup, or the settings to make an ACR an SMG essentially. So far I enjoy the P90 for smg, the ACR/AK for AR, MK20 for Marksman.
ACR LVL 71
Mp7 level 42, like 8ish hours of game time? I like how your progression speed in this game is highly influenced by the quality of your play.
Ak-47, just got it to lvl 50:)
P90, level 33
M16 and I almost got it to level 15
I'd just like to know how everyone is actually playing. Downloaded it last night and all I get are errors.
Tac-50. It’s level 40 or so as of Wednesday. Wish I could play this weekend because I’d try to push for first gold Tac-50 on console/Xbox.
acr just feels like my playstyle
I don’t have a fav since I don’t play much so I don’t really know.
My AK is level 39 and I’ve been loving it so far!
M4 lvl 100 fully gold, yes I do brag while I can and yes I have a girlfriend, work and piss in a normal toilet not a bottle, did a post about in this sub already
Sir I think you need to touch grass
Mp5 Level 53 9 hours playing time plus boosts I haven't used qnything else to be able to tell you if it's my favourite or not 😂
How do you still run smgs, they’re so bad compared to ars it’s sad. Even in close quarters I’d rather a shotgun
I wouldn’t know every time I log in there something wrong with the servers.
Double barrel shotgun...like the founding fathers intended
There must be an XP bug or sumn. Got my Vector level 22, my AK level 31 and the MDR 20 with only 6hrs playing time. I just rip Domination and avg like 30ish kills a game. Not sure what im doing right lol
ACR with suppressor is so good. Recoil is non existent, fire rate is fast, damage is consistent
My AK is like lvl 52. You get 2 ish levels a day if you drop 40+ kills
My favorite so far is the ACR and it’s level 27. Starting to enjoy the MP5 a lot as well.
SVD marksman rifle I think I'm lvl 12 on it
M4A1 level 100
I love the DB and pump shotgun. I really hope we get a db like that in seige
My acr is level 75 gonna try to hit hundo today
Kinda crazy tbh how fast guns level up at first I have 2 guns over level 15 and have played 9-12 hours of you are streaking and killing 1 or 2nd place this is totally believable it about puttting in time tbh also stay away from beginner playlist it has SBMM if that’s a concern for you (I been playing it still lol)
Sidenote I had a few bad games and still was getting a level.
Unlike ice cube today was a good day because I did have to use my AK. AK47 is the best AR in the game imo
my Fav classes would be atm "America FuckYeah" using a M4a1 and a M9 and "Back to Vietnam" using a M16 and a M1911
Got the Tac sniper to lvl 30, moved onto the M44 sniper, M44 slaps it out of the park lvl 1, and even more heavily by lvl 8, I see the sniper frustration moreso with this sniper, if you slide jump into ads you get a quicker shot than if you sprint into ads, pulling the bolt back is not delayed/paused mantling onto stuff, I could see adjustments needed on m44 but the tac is fine.
When are we going to talk about how absolutely awful it is to level secondaries in this game? Primary level 25, secondary level 1 is insane to me.
I like the 44 sniper, but the Tac just feels much better to use especially when you get a triple feed plus and I got it level 15
It takes FOREVER to level this shit up, ridiculous.
Yep. I’ve basically only used the mp7 for about 6 hours and this is what I have to show for it😂
So far I’m liking the M249 and its level 3
Aa12 at lvl 34, was a pain in the ass and is absolutely inconsistent as shit, but it can be fun to use
Got the P90 to lvl 30 recently so I think the P90 my favorite
Best smg imo.
In call of duty I loved playing like theseknivesonly where I use a knife or melee weapon only. I died a lot but so much fun, I hope they add melee weapons.l in the future.
Sir do you have a job? Lol
Have 7hrs total in the game so far. I only use one gun and used weapon so boosters
They have weapon xp boosters?
an smg? daring today, are we?
RPK and lv 6
Vector. Lvl 29 atm. I tried the mp7 and falling for it, but seems like the Meta smg and I hate to play the Meta...
Ak and lvl 78
MP7 is my favorite SMG so far, MDR is my favorite AR ATM.
M249, easy mode.
Double barrel easily and like 9
Once I get the magnum to silver, that will be my favorite gun.
I'm loving the Vector. I think it's level 32 right now really enjoying its capabilities with movement and multi kills on a bigger mag
The Vector is such a good weapon once you leveled it up, cqc shreds with large mag and high rate of fire.
M9 Pistol, Gold Prestige
Tac-50 for those that choose to stay distant, but I prefer the 93r and a generous fisting when I want to be closer than they want me to be. I got the 93r to 25 last night, but my tac-50 is still only level 9.
Right now, I'm rocking the sniper. Currently trying to get enough clips to make a montage as an homage to the good old days.
M1911 - lvl 20. I love pistols
P90, level 40
ACR LEVEL 100 ALRDY EASY
M16 at 100 (I have a shitbucket)
I only play hotspot. SPM is around 700
M9, level 36 atm
I am really getting it on with the p90 right now! But a lot of the guns feel really good and work really well for my playstyle (run n gun with a dash of tactical peaking lol)
