Battlefield 4 Ranks and Leveling Tips

In Battlefield 4, the unlock system is quite different from BF3. Previously, weapon and squad specializations were given by ranking up – these are now achieved by earning points with the individual classes (assault, engineer, support and recon). In BF4, going up in rank awards you with Battlepacks.

Battlepacks contain XP boost bonuses, weapon attachments, emblems, dog tags, weapon paint, and soldier portraits. The items you receive in Battlepacks can’t be obtained through other ways such as achievements – they are unique to Battlepacks.

At the bottom of this post you’ll find a chart of the Battlefield 4 ranks. As with BF3, it takes a larger score to level up as your rank gets higher.

First, here are some tips on how to level up faster in BF4:

• Join a server with a lot of players. A high player count, especially on smaller maps, will mean less time between encounters with enemies.
• Choose a server with a high ticket count. Many ribbons are awarded by completing a certain number of objectives within one round, so you’ll receive more ribbons by playing long rounds.
• Play as a squad leader and set objectives. Simply spot a control point or MCOM to set it as the objective. When your squad members attack or defend the objective, you’ll be awarded with extra points. A full squad of five is best.
• Keep playing until the round ends. Even though stats are supposed to save periodically, the odds are better that your score will be kept if you stay until the end-of-round screen.
• Use your XP boosts wisely. XP boosts are available through Battlepacks. They are not stackable, so you can only use one at a time. Use your XP boost when you’re playing a map you’re good at and you’re in a solid squad. If you score best with a certain vehicle, wait until you’re deployed and enemies are nearby to activate it.
• Use your kit gadgets frequently. Many of your kit’s gadgets will help your score. As assault, throw down med packs and revive teammates in between firefights. As an engineer, repair vehicles or drop mines. As support, drop ammo packs. As recon, drop a radio beacon and a T-UGS or motion sensor.

Below you’ll find a chart of the rank progression along with the score it takes to reach that rank from the previous, and what you’ll unlock.
