“We Should Get Weapon XP For Completing Missions” The First Descendant Players Ask For a Small Buff

We’re back to Weapon XP, one of the most infamous mechanics in TFD. When leveling, you will come across situations where you’d have to roll back your character or weapon to Level 1, specifically when using a Crystallization Catalyst. This “releveling” has been a pain in the community’s side and players have been complaining about this mechanic for a while now. It is not engaging or anything, it is just a chore. That being said, Nexon has buffed the XP gains for Invasions and other missions and has even offered a two-week-long Weapon XP boost.

You Don’t Get Weapon XP as a Reward for Completing Missions

You get a hefty sum of XP as a reward for completing any mission. But players noticed that only applies to character XP, not Weapon XP. “But can we please just have it added? It really just doesn’t make any sense that it doesn’t. “ asked Kammakazi in a Reddit post. Adding Weapon XP as a mission reward as well would actually inspire players to complete missions, and not resort to those infamous and repetative “abort” mechanics.

Weapon XP is a notorious mechanic in the game (some players are even wondering why it even exists), so any improvements in that field would be greatly appreciated. Players wholeheartedly agree, pointing out the fact that the Weapon XP Boost event will be over in a couple of days, and players will have to revert back to those repetitive old ways of farming Weapon XP. “…cause after the event ends is gonna go back to being [bad] unless you want to afk or spam “abort, abort, abort” in some places lol “ said VacaRexOMG777.

Weapons That Use Other Types of Ammo Could Use a Boost as Well

Some players even go so far as to state that weapons that use General Ammo are not that hard to level. It is those other weapons (Special, Impact, High-Power Rounds) that are difficult to level. “There’s no viable way to level these that feels good due to ammo limits, or being lower fire rate / high damage. You either slot them only on a skill based descendant like ornaments, or you keep it out in group play and feel useless while you get a few rounds off before someone wipes the room.” said RiiiickySpanish.

All in all, everyone agrees that Weapon leveling is not a well-done mechanic. But, until Nexon makes some overhauls (if they ever do), every little bit of Weapon XP improvements would be welcomed by all.
