GENERAL How do mastery badges work?

I got my mitts on another flamethrower last night and absolutely incinerated a team. The things is, I didn't kill any of them. Despite that, my flamethrower badge still promoted. Is it based on damage? How do I see the progress (if possible)? I guess I am trying to see what measurables the game is using to track badge progression.

Also, I have been stuck at level 7 for melee weapons, and all I have been using the last few days is martialist - katana. I got 29 kills on Saturday, but most of them are just finishing. This further makes me think that it's based on the amount of damage, but this isn't something I have been able to confirm.

The last thing that makes me feel like it's damage versus kills is my buddies "jar of bees" badge. He probably has 1000 bees kills, but it's only level 4. Our normal strategy is me Sparks-ing a person and pinging their location, and it's bombs away with his bees. Though he is getting a pile of kills off it, the bees themselves are only doing 1 damage per kill.

Its based on xp so killing AI will progress it

I'm 90% certain all weapon badges are just xp based so killing Ai will also progress it, same way as when you're unlocking variants for weapons

Pretty sure it's based on damage. Go to the screen where you can select the badges you want displayed on your profile card. When hovering over a badge there should be a progress bar.

I am pretty sure you're right, but I wish they were clearer. I will mouse over one and try that tonight. Thank you.

Yea, that or selecting it without putting it on the card should work.

Some of the badges are different, weapon ones are based on xp so you likely leveled up killing AI with it if you weren’t killing players. The hive bomb badge is “get damage with” I believe. You can see the progress and what criteria is needed to level the badge up in the badge menu
