Training missions.

How do you do them?
Probably a stupid question, but I lag too damn hard in Sanctuary to find much. =\

It's not really training "missions", it is a VR Term in the training building...

You basically go in the building and a window pops up asking whether you want to do weapon or vehicle testing. You then get "ported" to a testing ground of the appropriate type. In the Weapon VR, you are in a bunker surrounded by various types of virtual enemy troops/vehicles. You can test your weapons on each to see what fits your playstyle. In the Vehicle VR, you are sent to a continent with multiple air/ground vehicle terminals. You can test out almost everything for each vehicle. Make sure to jump out of the vehicle once you get it away from the pad in order to test out the gunner/passenger compartments too. I think the only thing I wasn't able to test in VR was deploying an ANT (recharge wagon) since there are no warpgates there.

Ok. Reason I asked is because under the "player" window there's some boxes for each of the weapons under a tag called training. /shrugs

Those are "events" the first time you do one of them you will get exps for it. So each weapon/vehicle/terminal/continent will get you exps. So in VR you can try all weapons and vehicles of your team without having the certs.

There's also supposedly an offline tutorial mode coming at some point before or at release, or so I've been told.

VR is enough for me really. Though I wish the targets there moved a little. I've seen a bunch of TR say why would I want a striker, while in VR... It's not obvious that secondary mode is a homing missle when all you can shoot at is stationary.
