"It's just painful right now" Battlefield 6 fans are not happy with the weapons XP rate

Since the release of Battlefield 6, the FPS community has had a hoot playing the game. However, as the novelty high is slowly wearing off, some players have found one significant problem within the title - the low weapon XP rate. While it might seem trivial to most, a low rate of XP farming for weapons means that you won't be able to level up your desired guns and unlock the high-tier attachments that are available with them.

On that note, user @BattlefinityGG has recently made a post on X stating:

"The weapon XP rates are way too slow. They want progression to last, but it’s just painful right now. You can play 5 hours with the same gun and not even have it half leveled up. Imagine new beginner players stuck with bad attachments for a week."

The user believes it is one of the most crucial factors that needs to be hotfixed as soon as possible. @BattlefinityGG has also gone on to say that the solution to XP farming is not heading into XP farm portals within the game. There should be an organic way to level up your gun by simply tuning into the core game modes within the title.

Another user, @AwenoKing, is also in agreement with @BattlefinityGG, and has made the following observation:

@BattlefinityGG I play with friends on PS5 so leveling isn't as slow as PC or Xbox. But yes it definitely needs a big buff. I want to try different LMGs and Snipers with different attachment setups.

Other players, like @MANN0900_PSN, are opposed to @BattlefinityGG's ideology and have stated the following in response:

@BattlefinityGG Battlefields are not yearly releases like CoD. Progression in CoD is so fast because they release 40 extra guns a year and then release another game 12 months after launch. BF is like 3-4 years between titles. The grind should take time.

@MANN0900_PSN point is further supported by another user, @_GGNoRe_, who has stated:

@BattlefinityGG It's the first fu**ing weekend, do you want all guns maxed out in week? Two? Things are fine. Service stars were one hundred kills each and tons of people had no problems with them and had literal *hundreds* of them on weapons

User @Samuel64097609 seems to have a balanced take on the matter, and in their opinion, the game should reward multiple attachments for each level earned on a weapon. This would ensure a balance between both worlds, where progression is slightly slower than fast-paced titles like COD; however, it doesn't deprive the community from putting on higher-grade attachments on their favorite guns.

The user stated the following in response to the parent tweet by @BattlefinityGG:

@BattlefinityGG They should have 2-3 attachments unlocked per lvl so that way each lvl is still hard earned, but you can build out your gun faster, and mastery is still a grind

Does Battlefield 6 need a faster weapon leveling system?

In our opinion, Battlefield 6 may need a slightly faster weapon progression system. While the current progression feels fine for the casual player base, the hardcore gamers feel dissatisfied at being unable to customize their weapons to their heart's desire.

The developers could maybe enhance the weapon XP gather rate by a slight percentage, ensuring that there remains a balance between the wants of both the casual and the streamer/competitive community within the title.
