Weapon Mastery System
Weapon Mastery allows players to earn rewards by completing weapon-dedicated challenges. Every weapon has its own Mastery page, and Mastery progress does not reset with seasons, meaning everything you earn stays forever.
Weapon Mastery is split into three tracks:
- Dojo Challenges: Complete timed goals to earn Badges and Merch Credits. Every weapon has three difficulty levels, each with three challenges.
- Milestones: Complete goals such as defeating enemies, dealing damage, or taking down Bosses to earn weapon-themed Metrics for your hunter profile.
- Elite Contracts: Improve your best runs to earn stars. Milestones reward you with Upgrade Cores, with the final milestone unlocking a Golden Weapon Shader.
Complete every Mastery goal for a weapon to earn its Expert title and mo.gold.
Focus on one weapon’s Weapon Mastery at a time to secure the Expert title, Golden Weapon Shader and mo.gold.
Daily Goals Improvements
The Daily Goal screen has been updated with new features and more rewards. Besides the standard rewards, you now earn an extra P.E.R.K once you complete your Daily Goals fourteen times.
A new streak reward has also been added: once your streak reaches 7 days or more, completing your Daily Goals doubles your daily rewards. As long as the streak continues, your Daily Rewards stay doubled.
Maintain your Daily Goals streak for 7 days or more to consistently double your daily rewards and earn extra P.E.R.K.
