What is XP Overload in CS2?

[kоВ]

With the introduction of weekly rewards in Counter-Strike 2, players have taken more notice of the once-forgotten XP system. Now, after the A Call to Arms update, Valve set up another reward system for those who farm XP—the “XP Overload” status.

XP Overload in CS2 occurs once you cap out your weekly XP earned, which happens once you earn 11,166 XP. From here, you’ll earn a reduced amount of XP for each subsequent game but will have the XP Overload status applied.

The status lasts for a minimum of one week and can be refreshed each week, meaning a player could theoretically keep up XP Overload indefinitely. You’ll know if you have XP Overload if you see an icon next to your name anywhere in the game, including the main menu, your profile, and even in the scoreboard and kill feed.

This XP Overload icon works similarly to the yearly XP badge; if you keep overloading your XP each week, the icon will keep upgrading. Valve’s explanation is: “Additional tiers of XP Overload status can be unlocked by earning all of the normal XP over multiple consecutive weeks.”

TL;DR It's a no lifer badge

in fact it only takes 3/4 matches per week. but all the time to increase the level

15 comp matches in a week is now no lifing

yeah it is, because this means you play at least 2.X hours per day.
means that sleeping+playing already makes up more than 40% of your day.
if you work then working+sleeping+game fills ~8+9+2.5= ~20 hours of your 24hrs day. thats basically no life with priority to cs

15 comp matches take 10 hours at most and I'm already generous with that.
Most people who work neither do it for 7 days a week nor do those who actually have a job sleep 9 hours a day.

i never said they sleep 9 hours.
they sleep 8 hours.
9 hours is work (way to work + work + way home)
so if you say they dont work for 7 days a week, you want to say you play on days you dont work? if not that makes no sense to mention. if yes -> nolifer.

you see, we can do this the whole day without gaining any benefits of it.^^
where no life begins -> matter of opinion.
did i say its my opinion that 15 comp matches are no life? no i didnt(by the way)

There is an XP overload icon in front of my nickname. But I noticed that there's another similar icon on the XP bar, and to reach it I need to get a couple thousand more experience. How does it work? What does this icon mean on the XP bar?

Your solution is just to play less. As of now the only way to get rid of it is to NOT complete the Overload quest and just let it expire when the next weekly reset comes around.

understood, but suggestion to play less not an option, i just hate seeing this useless icon :/ DEVS should alllow option to hide it or something.

So I just bought prime, but its started me off with a 2 week XP overload and reduced 'Earned XP' but I only have about 4,000 XP no where near the 11,166 XP limit. It's like it calcing based off when i didn't have prime.

Also what up with the matchmaking, generally when I start competitive round, everyone on my side has a low rating and they other team has a higher rank doesn't seem like a fair fight
