Searching for survivors.
What do they do? I'm assuming after getting so many you get an unlock for your weapon, but the vast majority of the level ups give no unlocks at all. Do they give slight stat bonuses such as less recoil, or do they do absolutely nothing except give an unlock after attaining so many?

They do give you an increase in stats but I think only the top level will give you a new toy to play with.

Ya, but the increses are marginal. At level one for the Russian bolt it was a 1% increase in a few fields; sway reduction and time to get the sights up are two I recall off handedly. I don't know if that 1% continues for every level but if it dose that is a whaping 25%. A noticible differance. I dout it will work that way though. In the end I expect the diferance will be noticable but not a decisive advantage.

If you grind in Honor you can go in different severs that limti the honor levels. For exemple a server can limit Honor lvl 30 to 100. Honor is given by capping objectives, give ammo, helping squad, etc. So this way people can know if after 2 months of game you're still at honor 11 you might not be a team player, etc.

Everybody starts at Honor 10. You can go down if you teamkill, hurt friendlies, etc. So I guess that most server will be honor 10 to 100 most of the time.

EDIT : I just saw you said weapons level xD. Gonna let this post here anyway.

What kind of stat increases do they give? Anyone have exact numbers?

Nyet, though I theorize that recoil and sway are going to go up once the release comes out and then drop back down to the current levels as you level up.

At level 25, where mine seems to have stopped, and I have no bayonette, oddly enough, the stats bonuses are about 11-12% across the board from sway, speed to sights, and reloading, so on and so forth.

you need to play on servers with ranking enabled. most of them dont have it yet i only know 4 servers with ranking


but funnily my assault class levelled itself for some reason.. it is frontline soldier now and ppsh is lvl 22 even though i never played with ppsh
