PVP Weapon Unlocks
By Muscles
A list of weapons you can obtain in Eternal War, including the level requirements for each one. I made this because there's no concise way to see 'when unlocks what' for PVP out there or in the game. You can also use my list as a heads up so you can know what to expect when fighting against somebody of a certain level.

Weapon unlocks
Each level up gives you a brand new weapon to play with. The weapons (except grenades) are separate per class, so some like the Plasma Pistol will appear twice since one is for Heavy and another is for Bulwark. However, grenades you unlock are shared across all classes.

* I don't remember for sure and I'm going by deduction and old clips I recorded. Sorry if I'm wrong...
Note
I started writing this guide at level 13. The game does not show me level requirements for weapons I've already unlocked, but hopefully I got nothing wrong!
Personal opinion
I still think this system should be reworked completely. And I mean a REAL rework, not just changing some XP gain values and calling it a "rework".

Weapons should be purchased through a shop instead of a predetermined weapon being given to you per level. Each time you level up, a new coin should be given to you, which can be used to buy any weapon of your choice - NO RESTRICTIONS. And buying a weapon should be unlocked across ALL the classes it's allowed for, so no more duplicates to pad out the progression longer than needed.

This should make things much more fairer to new players, with the added benefit of seeing more diverse loadouts and playstyles across all games forever.

Also, give the heretic versions of the Neo Volkite and Inferno pistols proper Chaos skins!

I take my words back about the bolt pistol, it doesn't suck I just had a skill issue

After trying it out I think I actually prefer the normal pistol for Assault. I'm more annoyed that the only other primary weapon for Vanguard is locked behind level 16 :bsgun:

I genuinely don't understand why you have to be lvl 14 to get the Heavy Bolt Pistol on assault. The default one just sucks so much man.
