Where the XP Comes From
Every action pays XP: kills, revives, repairs, resupplies, hacking terminals and capturing bases. Service ribbons add 250 XP each. The biggest XP ticks come from big fights where you can support many players at once.
XP Boosts
XP boosts raise all XP by 50% while they run and are mainly bought with Daybreak Cash. Save them for organised fights rather than quiet periods.
What Ranks Are Worth
BR 1 to BR 100 pay 100 certs per rank, 9,900 certs over the climb. Ranks after BR 100, and ranks earned after entering the Advanced Specialization Program (ASP), pay no certs, so the climb to 100 is where levelling pays off.
Level by Playing Your Class
- Combat Medic: revives and heals pay steadily in every fight.
- Engineer: repairs and resupply, especially supporting MAX units.
- Heavy Assault: anti-vehicle and anti-air kills.
- Each weapon also has medals worth up to 232 certs; see our certs guide.
