Premium

Ranks

Five ranks from Initiate to Apex. Players climb with the same XP as Battle Pass. Rewards go to My Vault as New Rank.

01What it does

Ranks is a Premium feature. Everyone starts at Initiate. Rank XP is stored on its own — turning Ranks on does not copy Battle Pass XP onto the ladder. The five ranks are Initiate, Operative, Enforcer, Vanguard and Apex.

When someone reaches a rank, the rewards you set for that rank go into My Vault with the status New Rank, whether they are online or not. They claim items, kits, entities and vehicles while they are in game. Currency and spins are added straight away. You can also assign Role Lists on each rank. By default they keep lists from every rank they have reached. Turn on Remove previous rank lists if ranking up should take away lists from ranks below their current one. If they drop below a rank, Surge only removes them from lists it added — members you put on a list by hand stay there.

02Setting it up

  1. 1Open Features > Ranks.
  2. 2Set the XP needed for Operative, Enforcer, Vanguard and Apex. Initiate stays at 0.
  3. 3Set rewards for each rank. You can mix currency, kits, items, entities and vehicles. On the same card, tap the Role Lists they should join. AutoKits List opens a picker of your list-only kit lists so you can choose one or more.
  4. 4Leave Remove previous rank lists off if they should keep lists from every rank they have reached. Turn it on if ranking up should leave them with only the lists on their new rank.
  5. 5Pick a weekly reset day and time in UTC if you want rank XP to start again. Lifetime XP is kept.
  6. 6Pick a Discord channel and write the rank-up message. Use {totalxp}, {playername}, {discordname}, {rank}, {oldrank} and {servername}. The rank emblem is added for you.
  7. 7Turn the switch on and save.
Good to know

XP amounts for kills, playtime and challenges are set in Features > XP System, not here.

03How players use it

The player dashboard has a Ranks card while this is on. It shows their current rank, XP, how long until a reset, their place on this server and the five-rank path. The first time they open it after a promotion, they see the rank-up screen once. My Info has My Rank with their emblem. Rank Leaderboard shows the top 10 on that server by XP, with Discord pictures and rank emblems. Wipe Server can clear rank XP so everyone is Initiate again. That does not move Battle Pass levels unless you start a new Battle Pass.
