Ranking

Ranking

Pressing F5 during game brings up the skill window. Here you can see your individual skills as they progress and add points to your likings.

At the top of this window you can find your ranking through the folowing format: **/**.

The first digit found is determined by the weapon you use, it's commonly refered to as the combat ranking. To a certain degree it lets other runners know how strong you are and wether you pose a threat to them or not.

The second digit is your combat level, this digit ranks up as you gain better skill stats. Certain quests or missions (like faction epic missions) require that you have a certain minimum combat level to start them.

Your combat level is determined through the following calculation:

Intelligence + Strength + Constitution + Dexterity + PSI use / 5

This means that if we have the following setup:

Intelligence 10
Strength 5
Constitution 7
Dexterity 15
Psychic power 2

We receive combat rank 7.8, which will get rounded down to 7.

Additionally there are different icons displayed behind your ranking. These icons are connected to the first digits in your ranking and can be used to quickly measure your opponents strength without looking at the numbers.

Hint: Sometimes the first digits of your ranking will be 0 after you change zones, if you wonder why this is happening, just equip your weapon and your ranking should return to normal.

Additional info: Some players refer to the combat level as the Character level or Character ranking.
