What determines how much XP I earn, and how can I earn more

With my wallet thin and weapon prices so high, I'm looking for faster ways to farm XP.

What exactly determines how much XP you get at the end of a match and what should you do to get more?

Best Answer

Simply put, the best way to farm XP is to play games and win them.

The XP you earn by playing is determined by three things: How long you were in the game, your position on the scoreboard, and whether your team won or lost.

Base XP

First, you earn Base XP based on the amount of time you spent playing, at a rate of 0.5833/second. (Time spent waiting to respawn doesn't count.)

Example: You spent ten minutes of the match in-game, so you earn 350 Base XP.

Bonus XP

Next, you earn Bonus XP based on who won and how well you played. This value starts at 1/4 of your Base XP, and is divided by your position on the scoreboard. Everyone on the winning team gets their Bonus XP doubled. Any badges (achievements) and first-win-of-the-day bonuses get added here as well.

Example: If you were second on your team, you would earn (350 / 4) / 2 = 43 Bonus XP. Since your team won, this would be doubled to 86 Bonus XP. The first win of the day bonus increases that to 1286 Bonus XP.

VIP/Boost

Finally, you earn VIP and Boost bonuses based on the total thus far. If you have made any real-money purchase, you get a VIP bonus of (Base+Bonus * 0.5). If you are boosted, you earn another bonus of (Base+Bonus * 1.5). Effectively, being a boosted VIP triples the XP you earn.

Example: You are a VIP and boosted, so you earn an additional 818 VIP Bonus and 2454 Boost Bonus. All together, you earned 3,272 XP for this match.
