Levelling guide
How much a run pays on each map, how many runs each level takes, and every way to level faster. The numbers come straight from the game’s rewards.
What a run pays
About what one solo mission run pays, start to finish: every pack, the specials they may bring, the ambushes, the boss, every area cleared and the win.
| Map | Recommended level | Enemies | XP | Gold |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overgrown Outpost | 1 | 131 | 1,212 | 425 |
| Sunken Ruins | 6 | 153 | 2,287 | 950 |
| Obsidian Citadel | 12 | 196 | 4,344 | 1,889 |
XP from kills grows by half for every map tier, and area clears and the win pay more on harder maps, so a tier-3 run is worth several tier-1 runs.
Runs to each level
How many solo mission runs it takes to get from level 1 to each level. The fastest route moves up to the next map as soon as you reach its recommended level (Overgrown Outpost 1+, Sunken Ruins 6+, Obsidian Citadel 12+).
| Level | Total XP | Only Overgrown Outpost | Only Sunken Ruins | Only Obsidian Citadel | Fastest route |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 760 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 10 | 3,060 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 2 |
| 15 | 6,860 | 6 | 3 | 2 | 4 |
| 20 | 12,160 | 11 | 6 | 3 | 5 |
| 30 | 27,260 | 23 | 12 | 7 | 8 |
| 40 | 48,360 | 40 | 22 | 12 | 13 |
| 50 | 75,460 | 63 | 33 | 18 | 20 |
| 75 | 169,460 | 140 | 75 | 40 | 41 |
| 100 | 300,960 | 249 | 132 | 70 | 71 |
Going down ends a solo run, so don’t rush a map you can’t clear: a lost run pays only the areas you cleared.
Level faster
- Play in a squad. With 4 players, packs are 2.65× bigger and every kill pays XP to every player, and 30% of enemies are elites worth 2.5× the XP. See co-op.
- Buy the ★ Rewards boost before a game: +25% XP and gold for the whole game. See boosts.
- From level 50, the Wisdom elite skill adds 3% XP per rank, up to +30%.
- Survival pays 14× the wave number × the map tier in XP for every wave you clear, so long runs pay off.
- Clear every area fully: area clears pay more the deeper you go, and the win pays the most.
Gold
Gold drops from every kill and is shared: when anyone in the squad picks it up, everyone gets it. Area clears, Survival and Defend waves and wins pay gold too.
The Scavenger skill adds 8% gold per rank and the Rewards boost +25%. Spend it on upgrades: see progression.
