Ranking Up[]

Rank is shared through a squad, and all players start each match as Rank C. Ranking up involves gaining points from accomplishing certain objectives, including eliminating other players or guards, surviving storm phases, and taking a sprite to a shrine. In Chapter 6: Season 3, every time the player ranked up, they would gain Effective Health based on their rank, 25 at Rank B, 50 at Rank A, then 100 at Rank S and above.

Rewards for Ranking Up

Rewards for Ranking Up[]

Every rank grants rewards, depending on the season; rewards usually take the form of supply caches, such as Drop Pods that drop near the player, or access to Hero Caches, with improved rewards for each rank. They guarantee a consumable and a weapon of a specific rarity, going from Uncommon to Legendary, depending on the specific rank.

Reaching Rank S+ provides significant rewards, including powerful Boons and Mythic weapons. For example, in Chapter 6: Season 3 the player would have received all Boons (except the Surging Speed Boon) that they hadn't yet obtained.

Rank Rarity Boon Other Rewards
Rank C Uncommon
Rank B Rare Super Soldier: Rank B
Rank A Epic Super Soldier: Rank A O.X.R. Bunker access
Rank S Legendary Super Soldier: Rank S
Rank S+ Mythic Super Soldier: Rank S+ Enhanced Havoc Shotgun
Enhanced Assault Rifle
Overclocked Pulse Rifle
