Quick question on the mechanics of leveling up a weapon. Does actually using a particular weapon level it up any faster, or is it really just a function of having that weapon equipped, and all experience contributes to all equipped items?
For the sake of being perfectly clear, if I want to level up a particular shotgun --
Scenario 1: Let's say I equip that shotgun in my secondary slot, but completely ignore using it and just use my primary and heavy only.
Scenario 2: Now lets say I equip that shotgun and get all my kills with it.
Does that shotgun level up any quicker in scenario 2, or is it all equal as long as it's the equipped weapon?
I'm aware that experience from bounties and what not go towards all equipped items, my friends and I have disagreements about whether actually using a weapon levels it up any faster than simply having it equipped.
Thanks!
