Launch weapon cards: new unlock levels and more reserve ammo

Multiplayer

The launch cards cover all 33 weapons. Most guns unlock at a different level, have a new level cap and carry more reserve ammo.

In this article (5)

The cards came out on 19 October: one stat card per weapon as it ships on 23 October, with unlock level, level cap, magazine, reserve ammo, fire rate and Apex. Our weapon pages show all of these now. Damage, range and handling stay on the final beta until those numbers are out too.

More reserve ammo

23 of the 33 weapons carry more spare ammo than in the beta. Most assault rifles go from 60 to 90 rounds, three spare magazines instead of two: M4, Han 86, Kastov 762, Axion and Hyeon Burst. The ISO Nightshade also gets 90, the VEL 46 and X-58 Nyx go from 80 to 120, and the APOC-338 doubles from 50 to 100. Unchanged: FiNN LMG, Type 73, PPSh-41, KG-7 Vulcan, Sang 9mm and the launchers.

New unlock levels

Create-a-Class opens at player level 4; before that you play the default loadouts. Nine weapons are ready the moment it opens:

The rest unlock between level 5 (VEL 46) and level 55 (Cronen Squall), the last player level. Several come later than in the beta:

New level caps, later Apex

The Apex is each weapon’s top-tier attachment, and it unlocks at the weapon’s max level. The level cap changed on 22 weapons. Most went up, so their Apex takes longer: M4 and Han 86 to 72, Patriot XMR from 64 to 72, MAR-9 to 73, KG-7 Vulcan to 75. Three went down: Kastov 762 to 68, .50 GS to 37 and Mojave .357 to 44.

Attachments unlock once for every weapon

An attachment now unlocks once and is then available on every weapon that uses it. If a weapon reaches a level whose attachment you already own, it skips ahead with a Bonus Level Up. So a new gun often starts with parts you already have, and the Gunny optimizer suggests close, balanced and long-range builds from those unlocks.

After the max level you can Weapon Prestige: the weapon goes back to level 1 and locks its attachments again, except the Apex and blueprint attachments. Shared attachments stay unlocked on your other weapons.

All 33 weapons at launch

Fire rate and Apex are on each weapon page.
