Combat Rating

Combat Rating (CR) is the primary operator progression system in Endgame. It measures an operator’s power level and unlocks passive bonuses, skill tracks, and damage multipliers as it increases. Each operator maintains its own Combat Rating independently.

Zone recommendations

Avalon is divided into five tiered zones. Higher zones have stronger enemies but greater rewards. The recommended CR for each zone reflects the minimum suggested for consistent survival.

Zone	Recommended CR
Zone I	CR 0
Zone II	CR 10
Zone III	CR 30
Zone IV	CR 45
Nightmare / Zone V	CR 55

Players are dropped into the zone closest to their current CR at match start, but can travel freely to any zone at any time.

CR structure

The maximum Combat Rating is CR 66, built from four components:

Base progression (CR 1-60)

48 levels distributed across three Skill Tracks, 9 levels from Core Power upgrades, and 3 Damage upgrade tiers.

Skill Tracks (x3)

Three tracks unlock during progression at CR 1, CR 6, and CR 16. Each track offers 16 upgrade levels split across 6 available skills. Tracks are chosen from a random pair at each unlock point.

Exotic Skill track

Adds up to 3 CR when fully upgraded. Obtained by completing a World Event. Only one Exotic Skill can be equipped at a time. See Exotic Skills.

Nightmare Skill track

Adds up to 3 CR when fully upgraded. Obtained by completing a Glitch Fracture. Only one Nightmare Skill can be equipped at a time. See Nightmare Skills.

Note

Obtaining an Exotic or Nightmare Skill before reaching CR 60 will offset the natural order of unlocks. The additional CR from each is only granted when the skill is fully upgraded twice.

Earning Power

Power is the resource used to advance Combat Rating. It is earned by:

• Completing Activities
• Completing Assignments
• Completing World Events
• Eliminating enemies

All objective rewards scale in value based on the zone where they are completed. Higher zones yield more Power per objective.

Exfil and death

1. Successful exfil - Combat Rating is preserved for your next match. Your current loadout, including any extracted weapons, is also saved.
2. Death before exfil - Since Season 3, dying costs 15 CR and strips your equipped weapons, exotic skill, and nightmare skill progress. A Restore Token can prevent this loss entirely.
3. Match timer expiry - Any operator still in the AO when the match timer runs out has health slowly drained to zero. All extraction points disable. CR is lost if the operator goes down this way.

Tip

Restore Tokens prevent all loss on death. Without a token, you lose 15 CR, your equipped weapons, and any exotic/nightmare skill progress from that run. With a token, everything is preserved.

Caution

CR resets entirely when an operator is wiped. Resetting a Skill Track reduces CR by approximately 15-16, not to zero. The lost CR is regained by completing activities. Restore Tokens have no effect on an operator wipe.

Skill Track reset vs. operator wipe

Action	Effect on CR	Effect on Skills
Skill Track reset	Reduces CR by approximately 15-16	Selected track returns to base, Power is refunded
Operator wipe	CR resets to 0	All skill tracks, exotic skills, and nightmare skills are cleared

A Skill Track reset is used to change which track upgrades are available. Resetting a Skill Track reduces CR by approximately 15-16. The CR is regained by completing activities. An operator wipe is a full reset and cannot be reversed.
