NARAKA: BLADEPOINT

@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.

@fuzzmeister J i have played some bloodbath for some reason i don't get any xp bars or anything towards weapons

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.

I wasn’t afk though I was going around getting kills and doing damage

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.

Takes 342000 xp btw, around lvl 20 and a half is the halfway point

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

2 - 1000
3 - 1500
4 - 2000
5 - 2500
6 - 3000
7 - 3500
8 - 4000
9 - 4500
10 - 5000
11 - 6000

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.
