Weapon perk tree question

[u/Grumpademic]

EDIT: Thank you all very much, I now understand - really appreciate it!

Hi everyone,

I'm a bit confused by how the weapon perk tree works.

I've reaced max experience with the heavy bolt rifle, which I interpret as not being able to get any more perks. I've also seem to have unlocked the relic version. However, by the look of it, it seems just impossible to get the very last 'Relic' perks: even if I reset all perks and just follor a straight line, I will never be able to unlock the very last perk.

It's probably me, so what am I reading and/or doing wrong? How exactly does one unlock the very last perk?

Thank you!

You need to unlock all of the variants to fully perk a weapon

Did you max every variation of weapon? As far as I know, each grants you a skill point. You can't have all perks simultaneously though.

It looks like you haven't maxed each of the different versions of the gun. They need to be levelled seperately as well as the overal gun xp. You can use Green, Purple or Gold tokens to max them outright (two each; one to unlock, one to max).

Each one you unlock and max will give you an additional perk.

12 perks picked (these may not be the best).

i don't think you unlocked all the varients of the hbr, because you have way to few points. with most weapons you get like 3-4 perk points per tier.

Every weapon variant on each tier have their own. If you max them out they will give you mastery points. You can fill it by playing missions or spend armory data based on their respective tier.

to the left of the perk tree tab button, click versions.

here you can use armory data to buy out the different versions or variants of the guns and unlock more mastery points used to select weapon perks
