So suppose you have equipped a weapon like the M4 and are using it in matches and levelling it up. When you reach Level 13 with the weapon, you will unlock the Receiver attachment that allows you to use the FTAC Recon assault rifle. Progressing further to level 18 will unlock the 556 Icarus LMG.
Moreover, using and levelling the FTAC Recon assault rifle to Level 16 will unlock the FSS Hurricane submachine gun.
