Weapon Mastery is a brand new progression feature with unique and free rewards, giving players an avenue for improving their weapon skills and celebrate the journey along the way. It also gives players the opportunity to show off their accomplishments and personalize their look.
Overview[]
Every weapon has a series of levels that players can progress through by dealing damage and defeating opponents to earn Weapon XP in matches. Hitting difficult shots, surviving longer and defeating more enemies will all earn you Weapon XP at a faster rate. After every ten levels on a weapon, you will be promoted to the next Mastery Tier with 10 tiers in total. Gaining levels and tiers in Weapon Mastery will result in unlocking the rewards content the system has to offer.
Rewards[]
All rewards are free. The farther you progress, the more there is to unlock [1].
Charms[]
Charms are keychain-like trinkets that attach to the left side on the barrel of each weapon. You can equip and see which charms you have unlocked from inside the Mastery tab.
