Part 6

Discover how to maximize your XP gains in Battlefield 1 multiplayer. Learn about Squad XP Boosts, XP Events, Squad Orders, Objective Actions, Match Wins, Medals, Ribbons, and Elite Codex Entries to rank up faster.

Alright, let's talk about getting the most out of your time in Battlefield 1 multiplayer, specifically how to rack up XP. This isn't just about looking at numbers; more XP means a higher rank, which unlocks better gear and bragging rights. We'll cover everything from using boosts effectively to understanding how DICE rewards objective play.

XP Tips:

• Squad XP Boosts: These can drop as rare 'Legendary' items in battlepacks. If you have one, activate it from the Squads menu during a match. Everyone in a squad with an active boost gets double XP for 60 minutes. Stick with the squad and the match until the end to maximize this. Keep checking the Squads menu for active boosts you can join.
• XP Events: DICE occasionally runs double XP events, sometimes tied to DLC releases or for Premium subscribers. Follow the official @battlefield Twitter account for announcements.
• Squad Orders: Using squad orders earns you bonuses. If your squad leader isn't issuing orders, use the Request Order option on the commo-rose (R1/RB) to prompt them, or you might even take over leadership yourself.
• Objective Actions: Battlefield 1 heavily rewards playing the objective. Capturing flags in Conquest or arming objectives in Rush can net you around 1,000 XP, especially if your squad has an order on it. This is particularly effective on large Conquest maps. If you're struggling with a certain class, try picking it at the start of a Conquest match for quick flag caps or spawn into a situation where an objective is being contested. This also applies to Behemoth vehicles like the armored train, which can capture flags.
• Match Wins: Winning matches gives you an XP multiplier. A minor victory in Conquest might give you a x1.25 bonus, while a major win can give you x1.5. Staying until the end of the match is key for these bonuses.
• Medals: The medal system has been improved. You no longer need to select one medal to work on; you can progress on any of them simultaneously. Each requirement now grants 5,000 XP, and completing a medal gives you a hefty 25,000 XP, making them a significant source of experience.
• Ribbons: Introduced in the Winter Update, ribbons work like coins or other achievements from previous games. Each ribbon is worth 500 XP and is earned by performing specific actions multiple times in a match. All ribbons are always active. The initial set included ribbons for kills with the same weapon category or class, while later updates added ribbons for repairs, revives, heals, resupplies, spotting, squad spawns, and vehicle destroys. You can find a full list under Soldier > Ribbons in the main menu.
• Elite Codex Entries: The Winter Update also added 'Elite' codex entries. You unlock an extended article for a specific weapon by getting 500 kills with it, and each completed Elite entry grants a 25,000 XP bonus.

Trophy: Decorated [Silver/40G]

This trophy requires you to reach rank 1 with all four infantry classes. You'll naturally achieve this while working towards the higher rank trophies for each class. I personally found I hit rank 1 with all classes after about ten hours of play, even before XP boosts were widely available.
