Retirement

Retirement Terminal in the Memorial Hall

“

I'm proud of you. You've done well for yourself since you joined the Company. I recall you joining up as a scrawny greenbeard, and figured you'd join the dead down in the deeps in short order. However, consider my position changed... you've grown into your role and have more than proven yourself. It's my personal pleasure to announce that management has granted your Retirement. Rock and Stone, miner! Well done. - Mission Control

Retirements become available when the player reaches level 25 on any class and have completed all prerequisite Retirement Assignments. It acts as a prestige system for players who have hit the max level on their class and want to continue gaining XP for their class. All non-cosmetic previously unlocked items and upgrades WILL reset upon promoting a class. The Retirement terminal can be found in the Memorial Hall.

Honor Badge

Retirement fee example

Available Honor Badges. The lower 6 tiers (Holographic, Tungsten, Radon, Uranite, Cobalt, and Mythic) are all animated and transparent in game, with a radioactive styled look to them.

The player is granted an Honor Badge upon their first Retirement; it borders the character portrait with a bronze border and one white star. Every subsequent Retirement will add another white star, for a maximum of three stars. After the fourth Retirement, the border switches from bronze to silver, and the amount of white stars will reset back to 1. Upon reaching three more Retirements, the border switches from silver to gold; then from gold to platinum; then from platinum to diamond; then from diamond to legendary; then from legendary to holographic; then from holographic to tungsten; then from tungsten to radon; then from radon to uranite; then from uranite to cobalt; then finally from cobalt to mythic; the highest border for the Honor Badge. Retirements after that will not change the border, however will still allow the player to continue increasing their Character Level.

The list of Honor Badges goes as follows:

Benefits From Multiple Retirements

Beyond the first Retirement, which unlocks an Active Perk Slot, Deep Dive and Machine Events access, you will still be rewarded with Blank, Infused and Cosmetics Matrix Cores. Honor Badges only represent time a player has put into their class. Retirements should be purchased as soon as possible, as players will not receive further XP towards their Character Level once they reach level 25. It also helps increase the Player Rank which unlocks Prestige Assignments and rank titles.

Trivia

• Retirements were originally known as Retirement in Update 18: Job Opportunities and changed to Promotions in Update 19. As of Season 3, the name was changed back to Retirements, as reflected in Mission Control's diologue and patch notes, however, many terminals and some screens still use the term "Promotion" either to ease confusion, or hint at a futher
• Update 30: Going 1.0 added three more Honor Badges: Platinum, Diamond and Legendary.
• Season five added six more Honor Badges: Holographic, Tungsten, Radon, Uranite, Cobalt and Mythic.
• The lower six tiers (Holographic, Tungsten, Radon, Uranite, Cobalt, and Mythic) are all animated and transparent in game, with a radioactive styled look to them.
