Following community feedback regarding the grind in Season 1, the most impactful change in this update is the increased XP progression speed. Earning tiers now feels more rewarding and less like a second job, allowing squadmates to focus on the objective rather than just the XP bar. Whether you are pushing the frontlines as Dagger 1-3 or holding back Pax Armata forces, the time-to-unlock has been noticeably tuned for the better.
The structure of the pass has also evolved. Instead of a linear track, Season 2 introduces 4 themed Paths. This gives you the agency to decide which rewards to prioritize first. If you are eyeing a specific new gadget or a weapon skin to match the 2027 aesthetic, you can dive straight into that specific path rather than waiting to hit Tier 80. It is a smart move that respects player time and build variety.
For those playing the free track, new weapons and tactical gadgets remain accessible, ensuring the competitive meta stays balanced across the player base. The Premium track adds the usual flair with high-end vehicle camos and specialist outfits that reflect the escalating global conflict between the U.S. Marine Raiders and the rising PMC threat. With the XP buff now live, hitting that final tier is a much more realistic goal for the average soldier.
