Silver orders don't account for bonus xp?

Hello, I’m a returning player who got quite high in the Moscow campaign back when it was the only option and I just bought the Stalingrad campaign and am getting used to the new systems.

It is my understanding that every 25k xp I should be getting silver weapon orders, but it seems that the various xp bonuses that come from owning the campaign and premium don’t count towards the total. Example: I earn 80k total xp in a match but don’t earn 3 silver cards, instead i only get credit for the ~5k to ~10k that I earned myself.

I feel like this means I’m able to unlock features faster but cannot actually use them without the appropriate amount of silver cards.

This is super disappointing. Does anyone know if this is supposed to work that way or is it a bug?

Yeah I’ve done some testing today and figured out that there is a cap for 1 silver gun card per battle tops, so premium squads or bonuses do not matter and doing well doesn’t matter either. This is absolutely stupid…

So that’s why i’m always out of Silver and bronze weapon orders (mostly silver since everything is so expensive however bronze upgrades of 2 last stars are super expensive), it’s like Darkflow wants you to stay on single campaign for much longer even tho you could already move on to grind another but you can’t since you will have 0 silver weapon orders and will have to fight with unupgraded basic bolts vs full auto guns. That cap should be removed and even f2p players should get 4x as many silver/bronze orders per match as we get atm. Honestly at least 2 silvers as f2p and 4 as premium per match wouldn’t hurt anyone, you could buy new weapons that you know already grinded for already.

Is this what Darkflow wants? I guess they want us to suffer till you max all campaigns…

I found a reddit thread where people are discussing this same thing. It seems that the consensus is that for Stalingrad the bonus xp doesn’t count but it might in other campaigns? I’ll have to test that. But if that’s the case that is a really dumb mechanic. I bought the Stalingrad campaign, i shouldn’t be forced to level slower JUST for weapon cards. I know they are changing the whole system anyways, but this is a really dumb thing to leave as is, especially since they could actually encourage people to play Stalingrad by allowing them to collect way more silver weapon tokens specifically so that they could go more prepared into the older campaigns.
