XP required to reach level 100?

[WarPigeon]

About how much XP is needed to get to level 100?

I've been doing the daily quests since the beginning of the season, but I'm still only level 20. I was originally going to buy the battle pass, but if the xp keeps increasing each level there'll be no chance for me to get to level 100 before the season ends...

In your case, it would be in your interest to buy the battle pass once you reach level 100. Have you been doing the class specific missions to get XP?

It's a flat three million XP to reach level 100, and then after that there is an extra 100 levels which all seem to be 100000 XP each (level 99 is also 100000). The boost you get at level 60 really helps since it doubles challenge XP as well, and you can grind custom instagib matches for loads of experience if you feel that's necessary.

If you get the battlepass then you get a "free" haste potion at level 60 which will last a full week
...I think the boost you get off of it is +250% (I might be wrong on this but it seemed like a LOT more than just doubling your XP). Whatever the bonus is, it will apply to all your challenges as well, there were several times I went up two levels after just one game on my way between 60 and 100.

You could also just buy the haste potion directly from the store for 300 platinum
...but if you're planning on getting to level 100 then you may as well get the Battle Pass
...it'll cost you 1,000 platinum but you'll get 700 of that back in rewards
...it'll also be a lot easier to get XP because you'll have access to all the Battle Pass challenges on top of the regular ones and some of those generate a lot of XP (combine that with your haste potion bonus and you go up in levels fast).

Hm, thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll buy the battle pass after I get to 60, and that way I'll also get the bonus xp for all the battle pass quests.

Yes, but they don't even give a whole level worth of xp after level 20.

Instagib gives more xp? In my experience the custom matches seemed to give less xp. Does bot level matter for xp gains?

It's less that it's instagib and more that you can rack up kills and medals much more quickly than you would in a regular match.

Bot difficulty doesn't change XP gain much, if at all. Just getting 100 kills netted me ~28000 bonus XP in just a few minutes, which is way more than you'll get from regular matches if you include game search times and warmup time.

Play it on easy, then depending on your skill you can finish up a 100 frag game in about 5-7 minutes. A harder match will take longer. Do it on longest yard so you can always see multiple enemies.

Think of it as target practice - its not as good as playing humans, but its better than an aim trainer. After a dozen or so games you'll notice improvement in tracking, zooming, flicking and reactions.

Thanks for all the advice! I'm not at the point of finishing 100 frags in 7 minutes, but I'll keep practicing. It seems my aim isn't what it used to be when Q3 came out.

[cheesequake]

At the moment its looking like its going to take me about 65 hours to finish, although you could defo cut the time down by marothon-ing the xp boost from level 60

Picking levels and game modes where players tend to group in the middle such as sacrifice on lockbox helps give about +30% on your xp too because of all the frag potential
("COLLATERAL, COLLATERAL, COLLATERAL...")

(I consider myself a pretty average player so you could probs get it down to 55 hours with this)
