How to master weapons in Apex Legends

Apex Legends is introducing its own weapon-progression system called Weapon Mastery. Players that devote time to proving their proficiency with the many guns available in the Apex Games will receive one-of-a-kind rewards to use in Apex Legends.

So, let's review Weapon Mastery in Apex Legends and all that entails.

How do you master weapons?

To master a weapon, you must complete the challenges associated with that specific weapon. While official details from Respawn Entertainment remain slim, one of the Apex Legends insiders who playtested Weapon Mastery has come out and revealed what they know.

Apparently, the Weapon Mastery challenges are quite specific. Each weapon will feature unique challenges fitting to the theme of that weapon. For example, the Sentinel has challenges for headshotting a running target and downing opponents from far away.

Meanwhile, the challenges tied to the Flatline involve tasks like eliminating a certain number of enemies while firing fewer than X number of bullets or downing an opponent through a window.

As you complete challenges, you will earn Stars, like with the Apex Legends Battle Passes. Earning Stars is how you progress through a weapon's mastery track. The Weapon Mastery challenges will get increasingly harder the closer you get to mastering a weapon.

Mastering weapons in Apex Legends won't be easy. The Weapon Mastery tracks are extensive and will require dedication and skill to get through. But it'll all be worth it when you finally receive those juicy rewards!

Weapon Mastery is a brand-new feature debuting in Apex Legends Season 17. Weapon Mastery is an opportunity for Apex Legends players to flex their prowess with their favourite weapons.

Weapon Mastery is reminiscent of the weapon-progression systems prevalent in games like Call of Duty. Display your mastery of the array of weapons in Apex Legends by completing challenges, and you will earn exclusive rewards for your efforts.

Mastering weapons will earn you rewards to flaunt your expertise with Apex's many different weapons. While the specific Weapon Mastery rewards remain a mystery, it's assumed that each weapon will have a special skin that you can unlock by fully mastering it.

Moreover, we wouldn't be surprised if each weapon's mastery track includes additional rewards for players to unlock along their journey to 100-percent mastery. Charms and Badges depicting mastered weapons and trackers showcasing how many kills you've achieved with mastered weapons seem likely.
