Leveling

XP calculation screen

Leveling is the process by which a player gains levels and unlocks new items and promotions. By participating in a mission, a player is rewarded with Experience Points, and when a certain amount of points is reached, the player gains a level. Reaching a new level always unlocks a new piece of Equipment or a weapon. Every player begins the game at level 1 and can attain level 27, which is the maximum level, with enough XP. A player can reset their level back to 1 after reaching level 27 by electing to receive a Promotion.

Individual characters do not level; rather, a player's level is global and any items unlocked are accessible to all characters who can use them.

Notes

• An offhand item is unlocked upon reaching each even-numbered level, and a weapon is unlocked upon reaching each odd-numbered level.
• The amount of Experience Points required per level is multiplied by two after the fourth promotion, by four after the fifth promotion, and by six after the sixth promotion; see the table below.
• It is possible to gain two levels at once after completing a mission.
• The achievement "Armory Access" is earned by reaching level 27.
