This is a 230 weapon and requires 7 weeks. Conversely you can spend a day grinding potd and you have a 235.
Running M4 takes 10 minutes at most. You can have the weapon in about an hour. And again, it's no longer a 230 weapon, it's a 240 with upgrade. Sorry but I don't subscribe to the make everything easier crowd. A 240 weapon comparable to relic shouldn't be given away cause people want it with little effort.
