We had a post the other day talking asking you how you feel about the new specialization's introduced into the game - but it has still been rather unclear about how exactly it works, hopefully until now.
SkiMask- over at the SOCOM forums notes the following, which all appear to be legit:
To have a specialization weapon, you must select what your Primary and Secondary weapons in the menu so you will be able to earn CE points. To earn CE points, you need to get kills with your Primary or Secondary gun you have chosen as your specialization.
- A kill is worth 2 CE points
- An assist is worth 1 CE point
Once you earn enough CE points, you can unlock the following items:
PRIMARY:
- Custom Attachment (100 points)
- Unlocked Weapon (400 points)
- Gold Star (600 points)
SECONDARY:
- Specialized Attachment (300 points)
- Silver Star (450 points)
The custom attachments and specialized attachments include the following (applicable to all weapons in that class):
Assault Rifle - Front Grip
Sniper - Bi Pod
Machine Gun - Scope (4x and 10x zoom)
SMG - Silencer
Shotgun - Front Grip
Pistol - Blue Laser
The primary unlocked weapons include the following:
Assault Rifle - Alice (Camo HK36)
SMG - Motoko (Camo F90)
Pistol - Gladys (Gold DE)
Sniper - Tilly (Camo SR-25)
Machine Gun - Gloria (Camo MK)
Shotgun - Vera (Camo USAS 12)
Some other notes include the following: You can use these primary unlocked guns for both sides (Special Forces or Mercenaries). An important note is by switching class will reset your collected CE points to 0, unless you are switching your secondary to primary and in that case you lose HALF. This means you can not collect or have a specialization in all the weapons at one time.
