How to unlock the Close Combat achievement in NARAKA: BLADEPOINT - Definitive Guide

After hours of grinding and trying out different methods, I have found what I believe to be the quickest method (though it will still take time)

From what I can gather you gain xp for weapons just from holding them. Damage doesn't seem to affect the amount of xp you gain.
I cant tell for sure but it feels like you gain less in bot matches. I gain around 2k in a bot match but 3.5k in an online match.

The weapon you are using gains the most xp but any in your weapon quick slots will gain xp.
To maximize xp gain choose one weapon and have it equipped in both quick slots.
Doing this you can gain up to 3500 xp a match. It will still take a long time but this can at least remove a few hours of grinding.

Hope this helps. smile

I did 40k damage and had 22 kills in one match. Keeping one of each dual blades and repeater, I got 2214 for blades and 804 for repeater. I got a few kills with the repeater at the end when bots were fighting each other, but near 18 of those kills were dual blades. It seems time more than damage counts.

I'll test bloodbath later. You can pick spawning weapons and use just those the whole match. No wasting time looking for weapons.

Edit: Another normal bot match and 1401 for blades and 763 repeater. I used the crossbow a lot less and had fewer versions in the backup inventory and the points were still the same. Damage helps it seems but still mostly a time thing.

Only the two main weapons being held get xp. The ones stored do not. I put a repeater crossbow straight in my inventory and it gained 0 XP.

@evil terrorr, you are correct. I just tried a match having the pistol only in the bag and got 0 xp. Corrected the guide to only say weapons on the quick slots gain xp.

Bloodbath doesn't show the xp at the end for some reason but it does give it. I get around 2k for the damage dealer and 2-3 hundred for the spare.

tried having both dual blades equip and still had around 3.4k at the end of the game so i equipped a repeating crossbow with dual blades, got 3.4k and 1.2k so its probably best to not double stack the same weapon and use a ranged weapon as well

Interesting, I could barely crack 2.5k only having one equipped.

not sure why someone has -1 this though it’s very helpful +1 I would have spent my days in bot mode and it would of taken a lot longer.

I tried out the xp boost from the season pass last night hoping it would work. Sadly it only boosts your account xp game.

Having 2 same weapons does not help. I had 2 crossbows and ran around and got 1 kill at the end and got 795 points. That's roughly what I get from having it as a secondary. You might as well work on both weapons at once and eventually what you want to use + what you need.

Damage does indeed increase XP. You need to use the weapon to earn more than 700 xp a match.

Weapons in inventory and not equipped do not give xp.

I'm at 21 and 15 on the weapon achievements and I'm burnt out on this game already. It was a lot of fun at first, but just working on weapons is a slog.

Here is what I logged for weapon levels

4 - 2000
5 - 2500
6 - 3000
7 - 3500
8 - 4000
9 - 4500
10 - 5000
11 - 6000

18 - 17500

21 - 27500
22 - 32500
23 - 37500
24 - 42500
25 - 47500

Doing bloodbath with crossplay off. I'm getting 1800xp per 15 minutes (for ranged) consistently, which is better than 30 minutes for maybe 3000xp as you spend half a match looking for your weapon at times.

Having both the same definitely helps, you need to take into account how long the matches are and how long it takes you to find the weapon. I found 2 crossbows within 30 seconds of the start of a match after seeing your comment so decided to test it. Didn't do any damage just killed the last guy that had a bit of health left = 906xp. Next game I kept the first weapon I found and did no damage again (0 this time as I used a different weapon to kill the last guy) =607xp.

So I had the weapons for roughly the same amount time ( since the beginning of the match) and I made sure to make the duration of the second match basically the same as the first yet I got 50% more xp in the game I had 2 of the same weapon.

But yes there isn't really much point in doing that not with melee weapons anyway as it's far easier to level melee over range. Honestly surprised they require the same amount of xp, ranged weapons should be half the amount really like the 3 "special" weapons are then those should be reduced even further because that's a ridiculous amount of xp for weapons that you can barely even find.

There is a good way to upgrade weapons in adventures. I advise you to immediately choose a combination of short-range weapons, since the weapons do not change in the adventure, and play in any modes with just such a combination.

1 long sword - pistol
2 dagger - pistol
3 staff - swarm
4 two-handed sword - bow
5 double blades - cannon
6 katana - crossbow
7 spear - musket
8 glaive - cannon

At the time of writing the hint, there are 8 characters in the adventure
