I am trying to find information on how the tier system works in the game and where in the game I can go into and see where I am to and how many more mechs I have to destroy to get to level 4 so I can then have more of a chance to get experimental weapon drops?
You can get most of that information from the map. It wont show how many machines you’ll have to destroy in order to raise rival level, but there is a bar that fills with XP for any rival.
And remember - you’ll have to be Level 25 or above to find experimental weapons.
If you view the Rival’s profile, you’ll see how much XP it has and how much it needs to level up.
Rival levels and XP needed are as follows:
- lvl1 - 0 XP
- lvl2 - 576 XP
- lvl3 - 1152 XP
- lvl4 - 2304 XP
Meaning that to get rival to lvl4, it needs to gain total of 2304 XP.
Each machine you destroy in the region where rival spawned, gives certain amount of XP to a rival. E.g: military runner gives 10 XP, proto harv gives 64 XP, FNIX tank gives 192 XP and so on.
