When do you unlock the Hyeon Burst?
The Hyeon Burst joins Create-a-Class at Player Level 21. Until then it only shows up in Default Loadouts or picked up off the ground. Rank XP, not weapon XP, is what unlocks it.

Assault Rifles camo challenges
Completionist camos are earned per weapon. Gold needs all 8 Military and 3 Special camos first; Platinum and Harmonic Break use the Assault Rifles class challenge.
- Gold
- 15 kills in a single match (Multiplayer) · 100 kills in DMZ
- Platinum

Mode Mastery camos (Mercurial Drift → Orion Reforged) are account-wide chains that open once you hold Divergence. They are not tracked per weapon, so they are not listed here.

A transparent estimate from the weapon's 68-level ladder. Two columns, because the answer depends almost entirely on how many kills you land per match with the gun.
| How long does it take to max the Hyeon Burst? | Public matches | Bot lobbies |
|---|---|---|
| To Max Level (68) — Apex unlocked | 46 matches≈ 8.4 h | 12 lobbies≈ 2 h |
| To Weapon Prestige 1 Max — Pyroclast Terminus | 91 matches≈ 16.7 h | 23 lobbies≈ 3.8 h |
Assumptions: 1.5 weapon levels per public match (11-minute games) versus 6 per bot lobby (10 minutes, 60–100+ kills on the gun). A Double Weapon XP token halves both columns. Estimates, not measurements — refreshed 2026-10-26.
To max the Hyeon Burst you need about 12 bot lobbies — the 3 Hours package covers it (≈18 lobbies) for $44.99
