Levels and XP

Every level adds 3% health and 2% damage and gives 1 skill point. XP comes from every kill (paid to the whole squad), every area cleared and every win. The levelling guide shows what a run pays on each map.

Skills

Spend skill points on 10 regular skills, your class’s own skill, and from level 50 the 5 elite skills. See all skills.

Characters

An account holds up to 4 characters. Each has a permanent class and its own level, skills and loadout (primary, sidearm and suit). Gold, Augment Cores and every gun, suit and mod you own are shared by the whole account.

Gold

• Earned from gold drops (shared with the squad), cleared areas, finished waves and wins.
• Spent on upgrades for guns, armour and the turret, on Augment Core augments, and on pre-game boosts.
• Gear is never bought: guns, armour, mods and grenades only drop. See loot.

Grades and upgrades

Every gun and armour suit has 16 or 9 upgrade parts. Each part costs more gold per level, and the gear’s grade sets how many levels each part can take.

Augment Cores

Augment Cores are very rare drops, mostly from bosses. A core plus 2,500 gold (then 6,000 for the second) pushes a part that is at its cap one level further, 2 times, at 1.5× strength.

Mods and charms

Mods and charms drop from mod crates and wins and add flat stats: a weapon mod, an armour mod and a charm can be worn at once. You can hold 40; when the bag is full, new ones are sold automatically.
