With Battlefield™ V, we want to take you on an expanding journey through World War 2, where every Chapter brings a new battlefield. This journey starts at launch and then continues into Tides of War, which will deliver additional maps, modes, gear, and gameplay. Because we want every Battlefield player to join us on this journey, Battlefield V has no Premium Pass.



As you experience Tides of War — or play through any multiplayer mode — you will be able to personalize and progress a custom arsenal of weapons, vehicles, and soldiers. This collection becomes your Company. The Company is the heart of your Battlefield V journey, and it's all-new to the Battlefield series.



In this article, we'll explain the Company's progression system and the game's economy. Below are the important things to remember. In Battlefield V , you progress by playing. The more you play, the more you'll progress, and the more items you can unlock to outfit your Company.

, you progress by playing. The more you play, the more you'll progress, and the more items you can unlock to outfit your Company. When it comes to gear, there is no one right answer — only what's right for you, your playstyle, and the needs of your squad.

There are two types of in-game currency. Company Coin is earned only through gameplay. Battlefield Currency is purchased with real-world money.

Battlefield V is made to reward how often you play and how well you play. You will never be able to use Battlefield Currency or spend real-world money to get anything that gives you an unfair gameplay advantage.

How You Progress



As you play, your progress will unlock new items to outfit your Company. A fine-tuned Company gives you more options when you squad up with other players — more ways to adapt, overcome, and win on the battlefield. Your time spent playing Battlefield V is represented by ranks in five categories: Career, Class, Weapon, Vehicle, and Chapter.



Increasing your rank in each category rewards you with both gameplay items and cosmetic items. Gameplay items include weapons, vehicles, and weapon parts. Cosmetic items include weapon skins and soldier gear that change the look of your soldier.



Career Rank

This is your overall rank that increases with nearly everything you do in Battlefield V. Career Rank is represented by the familiar military rank structure (such as Private, Sergeant, Captain, and others), and increases with whatever game mode, weapon, or class you choose to play. As you gain Career Rank, you'll earn Company Coin and unlock vehicles to add to your Company. Class Rank

This rank reflects how often you play as one of the four classes in Battlefield V: Medic, Recon, Assault, and Support. Progression in this rank unlocks Combat Roles — as well as additional primary weapons, side arms, melee weapons, gadgets, and grenades within a class.



Weapon and Vehicle Rank

Both primary weapons and vehicles have a progression system all to themselves. Earn XP while using a weapon or vehicle in battle and you can then choose to spend Company Coin to unlock choices within their Specializations. Each Specialization path changes how a weapon or vehicle plays, so you can modify it to fit your style. For example, you could choose to improve the hip fire accuracy of an MG 42 machine gun, or increase the durability of a Valentine tank.



Chapter Rank

Earlier this year, we introduced Tides of War, an expanding journey for all players through mankind's greatest conflict. Each Chapter in Tides of War brings a new battlefield that takes you and your Company into fresh gameplay experiences, including maps, modes, weapons, vehicles, cosmetics, and themed rewards.



You gain Chapter Ranks by playing any game mode during the course of a Chapter, with extra bonuses for completing Tides of War missions. The more you play during the Chapter, the more Chapter rewards you’ll unlock. We'll explain this in more detail as we get closer to our first Chapter, which arrives soon after launch.
