Battle Points

Battle Points are a form of experience that can be earned through Matchmaking and Co-op matches. Certain items can be used to increase the amount of Battle Points gained.

Mechanics
Upon earning 1000 Battle Points, a level is gained in the player's profile, and the player receives a guaranteed cosmetic item. The experience counter then resets, with any excess Battle Points carrying over to the new counter.


 * The amount of Battle Points earned per match is dependent on the length of the match, with a fixed amount of points earned per minute in a match.
 * Winning or losing has no effect on the amount of Battle Points earned.
 * 1000 Battle Points are needed to level up at all levels.
 * The types of items that can be obtained via leveling up is the same as item drops from playing matches.


 * Players in Low Priority queue will not receive Battle Points or items drops.
