XP gain on Archguns is terrible

[_Schokolade_]

This is 5 waves on Hydron the whole time i had the Archgun out and was getting kills with it. i was able to lvl and relvl Mesa prime and her weapons 4 times before i got the Velocitus from lvl 26 to 30

Are Archgun XP gain reduced in not-Archwing or has it always been this bad?

you not supposed to level them up on this way, im pretty sure about that

its probably only gain xp after your kills, which sounds right with the 49 kill

not sure if it gets 100%xp or 50% like when you get a kill with your gun

I aint gonna play Archwing to lvl it up archwing takes just as long and no one plays it.

grab xp booster and itzal and go to neptune archwing mobile defense , spam 3 , 3 runs should be enough to get from 0 to 30

If affinity works the same way it does for Warframes, then all the exp would go straight to the Itzal.

I been doing this for long time

The affinity for your Archgun would come from your teammates and not your Archwing.

Not how it works, you can test it your self, half of xp goes to whatever gets kill and rest half is devided to other things

You can solo Galatea or whatever the MD is for Archwing in Neptune, I think. It doesn't really matter that nobody plays it. It is an Archwing weapon. Logic dictates playing Archwing content would level it faster than whatever it was shoehorned into.

will test it today and cann tell if the MD is rly that good. the XP gain in normal missions is meh, ull only get XP for your own kills.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Quote

• Kill an enemy with a Warframe ability. All of the Affinity goes to the Warframe.
• Kill an enemy with a weapon. Half of the Affinity goes to the Warframe and half to the killing weapon.

ONLY if a teammate makes affinity and you are in range does the following apply:

25% of the amount goes to your Warframe and 75% of the amount is divided evenly among all equipped weapons

There's nothing particularly logical about the weapon getting gutted affinity generation on certain maps.

This.

 

I got a 7hr booster for a log in reward, spent about 2hrs on neptune and all my gear was maxxed out (2 guns and 1 archwing)

[Klokwerkaos]

I can level an arch gun in 0-30 in about 20 min.  That's completely reasonable.

If you can't, you're not leveling it right.
