How do XP, levels and ranks work?
How you earn XP, how they turn into a level from 1 to 100 and one of ten ranks, and which daily and weekly caps apply.
Published
Experience points (XP) show how active you are on WANTED SIX. All the XP you have ever collected make up your level from 1 to 100, and your level decides your rank. Level and rank stay for good: seasons never reset them.
What earns you XP
You only get XP for real actions confirmed by the server:
daily missions and the weekly goal
Season Pass tiers you claim
qualified challenge completions
an active XP boost, as a bonus on ordinary daily and weekly XP
Page views, likes, follows, comments, messages and sharing links earn no XP.
Daily and weekly caps
So nobody pulls ahead by farming, XP are capped: per day for daily missions (boost included) and per week for all sources combined. Under Level & XP you see the current caps and how much of them you have already used.
A new day starts at 00:00 UTC, a new week on Monday at 00:00 UTC.
Anything above a cap isn't saved up.
Before every claim you see how many XP will still be credited.
Levels from 1 to 100
Each level needs a little more XP than the one before. The Level & XP page shows your lifetime XP, your current level and how many XP you still need for the next one. After level 100, further XP are still counted, but there is no higher level.
The ten ranks
Your rank follows your level. There are ten ranks: Rookie, Runner, Insider, Associate, Operator, Veteran, Enforcer, Elite, Legend and Icon. The rank overview under Level & XP shows from which level each rank starts. Reaching Icon is designed to take around three years of regular activity.
Good to know
Ranks and rank badges can't be bought.
Every rank you reach is listed as a rank milestone under Achievements.
Others see your level and rank on your public profile. If your profile is private, they only see your name and handle.
With a public profile you also appear in the rankings.
Trouble?
If XP seem to be missing, first check whether a daily or weekly cap was reached. After every claim the page shows what was credited and what didn't count because of a cap. All your XP entries are also listed in your WT history on the XP tab. Corrections appear there as a separate entry with a reason. If something still looks wrong, get in touch.
