CQC CQC rank progression ?

Eminor · Jul 24, 2016

I was wondering if anyone knew how the rank progression is calculated in CQC ?
Rank meaning the Helpless/Amateur/Professional/Elite/etc. named ranks - not the CQC 1-50 levels.
So some questions are:

Is it like the main game where the rank of an opponent you kill relates to how much you progress through your current rank (i.e. as detailed in this post: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/171025-Answers-from-the-Devs-3).
Or is it based on the XP you accumulate ?
Or some other combination/formula ?

Kind of curious if anyone knew or if this had been stated by FD anywhere...

As far as we can tell it's based solely on XP.

We honestly don't know, I have done some experiments with outher prestige 80 lvl 50 players, and killing them didn't seem to make any differenc compared to killing a newbie. It also doesn't appear to be entirely xp based either. So don't know. I am guessing you need about 26000 kills or so to get elite in CQC.

Based on my experience it is based on XP. When I hit Elite, my XP was in the exact range that AlickCZ stated that his was in when he hit Elite. Anecdotal of course, and a sample set of 2, but it makes me think that the rank progression is XP based.

I will add mine when I hit elite, 30% to go.

26000 kills

- blimey; that's 2-3 times more than the main game...

Interesting comments - I'll add my XP when I hit the next level; probably in a month or 2 now, I'd guess.
Hmmm, wish I'd made a note earlier, actually.
If anyone else wants to add theirs when they progress, feel free; collecting numbers can't hurt...

You are a hopeless optimist. Really think CQC will have enough players for that?

Yes, I was looking for this earlier. I can confirm that from my own experience 3,700,000 XP is the general target for CQC Elite.

For the record it looks like you need:
~269,000 XP for Prestige Level 1.
~540,000 XP for Prestige Level 2.
~809,000 XP for Prestige Level 3.
~285,000 XP for Champion.
~687,000 XP for Hero.
