>Assists give full or near full progress.
>Incidental kills (explosions) count for assists.
>Ramming with a vehicle does not give meter. I don't have the Combat Sparrow to test because that event was ass.
>You gain Heavy meter at about half the rate you gain Special.
>Meter gain does not seem affected by running Double Special.
>There appears to be NO difference in AG between the Adept and Non-Adept version of a weapon.
>Primary weapons have 2 mods that influence AG: Bandolier (+5, but also gives Mag size) and Abundant Ammo (+10).
>There is a limit on meter gain that prevents you from getting a special drop in less than 5 kills. If your generation rate would give you 100% at <5 kills, the meter fills to 99% and does not turn over until you get a 5th kill (you still get full credit for the 5th kill).
>While there does not seem to be a bonus for exotics, most exotic weapons do have higher AG values than most of their same-frame equivalents, even if sometimes it's only by a single point.
>Most Primary and Special weapons, regardless of frame and type, seem to fall in the range of 45~60 AG. Most Heavy weapons fall into the range of 25~50 AG.
>Special Wave Frame GLs have very high AG on average, for reasons I can only assume is some dev sneaking it in. Forbearance has the highest base AG I could find on any weapon, at 87. New Pacific Epitaph and Dead Messenger have 70. Tusk of the Boar has 69.
>A number of Exotic weapons have 0 AG for some reason. Parasite, Winterbite, and Choir of One come to mind.
>Highest Primary base AG I found is tied at 70 between Alethonym, Verglas Curve, and fucking old-ass Arsenic Bite-4B, of all things.
>Highest Special base AG I found is Forbearance at 87, which is also the highest I found of any weapon.
>Highest Heavy base AG I found is tied at 70 between VS Chill Inhibitor and Leviathan's Breath (w/ Catty).
More as I find it, but the only thing left really is to explore assists better.
