Apex Legends Weapon Mastery trials
How weapon levelling works, and every mastery trial for all 29 guns: what to do at levels 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 and how many times.
How Weapon Mastery works
Every gun levels up separately as you use it, through kills, headshots and challenge completions. Check a weapon's level in the Legend Locker, under the Weapon tab.
At levels 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 each gun unlocks a trial: a specific challenge, done a set number of times. EA's advice for levelling is to commit to one primary and one backup for a week, practise the recoil in the Firing Range at every range, and keep the same optic. Its suggested starter guns are the R-301, Flatline, Volt and, up close, the Peacekeeper or EVA-8.

Questions
- What is Weapon Mastery in Apex Legends?
- Weapon Mastery tracks your history with each gun through kills, headshots and challenge completions, and levels the weapon up as you use it. EA describes the payoff as rewards plus proof you know the weapon inside out.
- Where do I check my weapon level?
- In the Legend Locker, under the Weapon tab.
- What are mastery trials?
- Each weapon has 5 trials, unlocked at levels 20, 40, 60, 80, 100: a specific challenge to complete a set number of times, from a few dozen downs at level 20 to a handful of squad wipes or multi-downs at level 100.
- How do I level up a gun faster?
- EA's advice is to pick one primary and one backup and commit to them for a week, drill the recoil in the Firing Range at close, mid and long range, and stick to one optic to build muscle memory.
