So 9 operators is great being unlocked and everything but here's why I'm worried

  • Having to unlock the rest of the 9 operators up to milestone 17 which gets you the last operator being Nomad (I saw the levels on CoreRoss's channel)

  • Levelling them all to get their max ability upgrades

  • 69 weapons to unlock on each of them and 72 when Zofia comes to the game via the event

  • Needing to unlock every single DLC operator from siege that comes to the game being the first is Zofia and someone else

  • Unlocking every single REACT tech as there's only 2 available (there's way more when you level them)

  • Having to get every 18 operators to max level to be able to compete in the ranked game mode or you can't qualify

It may give you something to do but god damn isn't this gonna take weeks or months to get every single thing?

Speaking as someone who’s already “grinded” through almost 100% of the game playing solo without any teammate, it’s really not much of a grind.

Operators level up very quickly, especially if you are doing well during incursions and you unlock the full Roster of 18 relatively quickly too.

It’s only after you unlock Maelstrom Protocol that the Milestone XP requirements started to get thicc but then you will have Maelstrom to compensate as you’ll be able to earn BIG chunks of XP from that.

Pro Tip is to focus on the Challenges associated with each region. If you watch the footage from recent content creators you’ll notice the ones who are doing the challenges are leveling up much quicker than their teammates who aren’t. (Bonus is you unlock lore at the same time!)

Thank you for the info! Can you comment at all on Milestones? I've been doing some digging and I'm not finding a lot. If there is a purpose for XP after we've maxed our Operators I will be happy!

Edit After some more searching it sounds like Milestones are kind of your "account level" and there are 30 Milestones at launch.

Yes Milestones are essentially levels to progress through the game’s story, unlocking new regions, Operators, REACT Tech, Lore & Cosmetics. There are 30 Milestones in total.

Each Operator has their own individual leveling which unlocks new weapons, Operator and Gadget upgrades and Cosmetics. Each Operator has 10 levels.

It's cool that you're pairing rewards and lore altogether. It's really a nice incentive to get more deeply into the game, instead of having part of the player base hunt for rewards without getting to know much about the R6e world.

There is lore unlocked simply by progressing through the normal game, through challenges, as well as hidden around the Maps themselves. Be on the lookout of magnifying glass icons whilst playing.
