One of the biggest complaints about XDefiant has now been addressed thanks to a new update that went live on all platforms this morning.
HOW TO LEVEL UP WEAPONS FAST IN XDEFIANT! (EASY WEAPON XP)
The June 18 patch notes for XDefiant explained how the game has now "sped up the process of unlocking weapon attachments by reducing the amount of XP required to level up your primary weapon from 3,500 to 3,000, and your secondary weapon from 1,500 to 1,000."
The cool thing is that the change is retroactive, meaning that all players' weapon levels will now be higher by default, based on how much XP they've already earned. This will be a pleasant surprise for everyone.
But it's not all good news. The Weapon Mastery level requirement has now been increased "to compensate for this faster access to performance-enhancing attachments." If you've already unlocked a mastery skin, you'll keep it.
