Why are they locked behind a grind that will need 100s of hours of repetitive gameplay
Not only that...but most of those attachments outside of the thermals and 8x and 10x scopes for the snipers...aren't even worth it. The negatives outweigh the positives they add. Sure, X might increase by 2, by Y and Z decrease by 6.
yea definitely.
It's like nobody at DICE ever did the simple math:
XP needed to unlock all attachments for 1 gun / average weapon XP gained per hour X number of guns
I have no idea what the values are, but I played a 20 minute round of breakthrough the other day, was on top of scoreboard for a 20 minute game, used one gun for the whole game...was just above mastery 16 when round started, finished just below mastery 17 at end of round. Gained just under 1 mastery rank in 20 minutes.
Conservatively, 1 mastery rank per 20 minutes....3 mastery ranks per hour, 40+ mastery ranks per gun....comes out to 13 hours per gun. There are 45 guns....that's 600 hours to fully unlock all attachments. It's an absolutely ridiculous number. It's off by a factor of 10 at least.
Simple fix: If I unlock an attachment using ANY gun, it's available on ALL guns.
