So is anyone else confused about weapon unlock points? I am now level 15 and have 3 guns unlocked (Jackel, Scar and DSG-1) I started with the scar and in 10 levels have recieved 2 gun unlock points,

for the scar i have the red dot attachment, hologram, gauss, and assault scope unlocked, the jackel i have the red dot and extended mags unlocked and DSG-1 i have the red dot and silencer unlocked so as you can see i use each of my unlocked guns fairly regularly and have lots of kills with each to unlock attachments,

now how the heck do you get points for primary weapon unlocks? It cant just be level as friends have verying number of guns unlocked at lower levels one is level 10 and has all the guns that come with the standard classes unlocked (1 more than myself 5 levels higher).

Is the weapon unlocking system bugged or is there something specific you must do to unlock primary weapons? Right now i have the Grendal, Feline, and the heavy gun available to unlock with points but i cant utilize them as i do not have any gun unlock points and i dont seem to be accruing any in some time. My last unlock point was earned at level 8 seven level past

no one has a similar issue? or does it work the same way for everybody else as it does for me?

I'm lvl. 23 and I've got these unlocked:
SCAR
Grendel
Feline
Jackal
Marshall
Hammer
AY-69

I, just like you, do not understand the primary unlock system quite yet. There seems to be no solid explanation of how it occurs.

i don't understand how the weapons or the unlocking of skill assessments works. i'm level 31 and have:

scar
grendel
scarab
feline
kvolt
jackal
marshall
hammer
majestic
jaw
that grenade launcher thing


still need the ay, flash, that big machine gun, and c4 i think.

i've got the assessments unlocked up to traveler but it shows i completed parts of them or that i'm at level 2 on some of them but dont know if i got the points or what. for instance: play pier 17 25 times level 2 but i'm like 5/25 on it.

it'd be nice if they told us how this all works or if it's broken

Oh, and I've got the K-Volt too

Primary weapon unlocks -
Every time you get to a different NAME of rank, every 3 - 4 levels i believe, you get a primary weapon unlock.

If you check your Skill Assessment, you can see what unlocks what for your guns. The short and sweet version is the more you use a gun (I.E. the more kills you get), the more Attachment unlocks you get for that gun. Attachment Unlocks are ONLY for the gun that they are obtained with. As for Weapon Unlocks, you get those by leveling up your actual level enough times. As is the same for the suit modules, you use them enough and you get more points to unlock.

weapon attachments are pretty obvious how they work (get X number of kills with the gun unlock an attachment, simple) but it is insanely irritating to not know how the entire MP progression system actually works, Not only does crytek demonstrate a lack of communication with their fan base on the forums but the system itself doesnt communicate to the player the rules of the game...irritating. At least i know now that you DO NOT get a new weapon unlock after each level and in fact it apears semi random as to which levels grant you a weapon unlock point.

It's not semi-random for weapon unlocks, it's set in stone, and it is after each level. BY LEVEL, I DO NOT MEAN GRADE. Every rank in the game has around 2-3 grades before you level up to a new rank (Take for example Private Grade 1, Private Grade 2, Private Grade 3, then Specialist Grade 1)

You get a new weapon unlock each time your rank changes it's core name, I.E. every three levels

If you highlight the weapon in the menu, it blatantly tells you what level it unlocks at. Doesn't seem that hard to understand to me.

he was talking about the unlock tokens to get the guns you are ABLE to unlock when you reach a certain level
