Battlefield 6 features one of the most extensive progression systems ever introduced in the franchise. Whether you’re grinding for new weapons, climbing through advanced ranks, or chasing prestige-level badges, the game offers a layered system that rewards both skill and dedication.
But what exactly is the max level in Battlefield 6, and how far can players go? Let’s break it all down.
Career Ranks: Functional Unlocks Up to Level 50
Your Battlefield 6 journey starts at Rank 1 with a full choice of classes and a basic loadout.
Between Ranks 2 and 50, you’ll unlock a constant stream of new weapons, gadgets, and utility gear that expand each class’s tactical options. Every level matters — and nearly all are tied to meaningful upgrades.

Advanced Ranks 52–100: Cosmetic Rewards and Playercard Titles
Beyond Rank 50, Battlefield 6 transitions into the Advanced Ranks, a tier focused purely on visual progression. Every two levels, you’ll unlock cosmetic items such as charms, icons, vehicle decals, and playercard titles — designed to reflect your time and experience on the battlefield rather than add new gameplay advantages.

Beyond 100: The Infinite Mastery Ladder
After hitting level 100, Battlefield 6 transitions into the Mastery Ladder, a theoretically limitless system that keeps track of your ongoing achievements rather than new gear.
Here’s what opens up:
- Weapon and Vehicle Mastery XP — level each weapon or vehicle independently to unlock attachments, skins, and camouflages.
- Badges and Accolade Dog Tags — earnable through challenges that highlight specific skill categories like revives, vehicle kills, or tactical assists.
- Total Badge Rating — your combined mastery score across all weapon and vehicle types.
The ranks can stretch well into the thousands, letting you keep earning recognition without altering balance for newcomers.
How XP and Progression Work
Career XP and Hardware XP are both gained through standard play: kills, assists, objective captures, repairs, and revives all count.
Team-oriented play yields the highest XP rates:
- Support: heals and revives add huge XP bonuses.
- Engineer: earns extra XP for vehicle repairs and takedowns.
- Recon: scores through spotting and assisting squadmates.
Daily and weekly challenges, along with Verified Portal modes, also provide XP and periodic boosts.
Assignments and Hidden Unlocks
Not every item is tied directly to rank. Battlefield 6 includes Class Assignments and Weapon Assignments that unlock even more hardware once specific challenges are complete.
Examples include:
- Assault: Deploy Beacon and Incendiary Shotgun Rounds.
- Engineer: Vehicle Supply Crate and Aim-Guided Launcher.
- Support: Smoke Grenade Launcher and Incendiary Airburst Launcher.
- Recon: Demolition Charge and Tracer Dart.
Which Rank Counts as “Max Level”?
There’s no single ceiling — it depends on your goals:
| Player Type | Practical Goal | What You Earn |
|---|---|---|
| Gameplay Focused | Rank 50 | All weapons + gadgets unlocked |
| Collector | Rank 100 | Full cosmetic set |
| Completionist | 100 + | Infinite mastery ranks + badges |
If you simply want every functional item, Rank 50 is your finish line. If you’re chasing prestige, you can keep climbing forever.
