Performance Pass

Season Terminal

The Performance Pass was introduced with the Season 01: Rival Incursion update, and contains various cosmetics, resources, and credits that players can unlock through playing. Previous seasons' content is transferred into Cargo Crates, Lost Packs, the Shop or Matrix Core Cosmetics. The duration of a season is approximately six months.

Performance Points

Players start at Rank 1 and can advance as far as they like, although the progression track offers only credits past Rank 100. Each rank requires 5000 Performance Points (PP).

Performance Points can be gained in the three following ways.

Earning Mission XP

By playing any Missions, Performance Points will be rewarded by a share of the total mission experience gained.
A successful Deep Dive always awards 1537 , while an Elite Deep Dive awards 1731 .

Here are approximate numbers of total mission experience required for certain numbers of Performance Points.
The algorithm is using diminishing returns, therefore, Double XP anomaly does not equal double the points.

Total mission XP	Performance Points	Graphic Curve
615	200
1 310	400
2 210	600
3 560	800
6 000	1 000
9 300	1 200
13 000	1 400
17 000	1 600
22 000	1 800
28 400	2 000
53 000	2 300

Numbers written in bold are the goalposts explicitly set in the game code; everything else is interpolated with Unreal Engine algorithms.

Collecting Data Cells

Data Cells can be acquired during any normal mission from three randomly-spawning events: hunting a Prospector Drone, hacking a Prospector Data Deposit or a Rival Communications Router. Either adds a flat bonus of 1,250 to the mission's PP yield (or 350 if the mission is failed).

As a way to boost early progression, the first 15 times a Data Cell is collected, also awards 1 , which can be claimed at the Season Terminal on the Space Rig.

Completing Season Challenges

Season Challenges can be any of the following:

- Collect a Data Rack	1 . After being completed 8 times, it changes to 2,500 .
- Complete 2 Rival Presence warnings	1 . After being completed 8 times, it changes to 2,500 .
- Complete 3 or 5 missions in two different biomes	2,500 or 3,750
- Complete 3 or 5 missions as two different classes	2,500 or 3,750
- Complete 3 or 5 missions of two different types	2,500 or 3,750

With two out of three challenges completed, the third one will not start refreshing until the second one finishes doing so.

Players can make progress on and complete several challenges at once, provided the conditions are met. However, challenges are refreshed at a rate of only one every 21 hours with three maximum active.

A single challenge can be re-rolled once per day by hovering the cursor over its description box and selecting the button in the bottom-right corner. Any progress on the challenge being re-rolled will be lost.

Cosmetic Tree & Scrip

The cosmetic tree offers some flexibility in how the player prioritizes their rewards.

Scrip can be used to purchase items on the cosmetic tree, and can be gained at certain ranks of the Performance Pass, as well as for the first 8 Data Racks challenges, the first 8 Rival Presence challenges, and the first 15 Data Cells (see above).

The Cosmetic Tree is a big tree-like connected grid of various cosmetics, paintjobs, and weapon frameworks. Some items have connection nodes between them that will grant 50 of a single pre-determined crafting resource.

The path of unlocked items is marked in yellow liners/borders, while items that can be unlocked with the next Scrip have a shining outline. Inaccessible items are greyed out.

Each node (including the connection points) requires 1 to unlock. The entirety of the Season 2 cosmetic tree requires 91 , which is exactly how much Scrip can be earned during the season.

• Even though the name "Performance Pass" is most likely a reference to "Battle Pass", it has no monetization to it.
• Scrip is based on Company Scrip, the real-life corporate currency of the same name.
