Practicalup to level 51

Light armor skills reduce mobility penalties, penetrating health damage and melee weapon damage.

How to level it up

Take hits on light armor (classes 1–3).

A skill “gets tired”: if you train the same action for a long time, the XP for it drops to almost zero. After a pause of about 200 seconds the fatigue resets, and the first point after the rest comes with a 30 % bonus.

Radar and leveling

  • Fewer deaths means more time in raid: skills like Perception and Endurance level up while you are alive and moving.
  • Valuable loot highlighted by price and smart clusters speed up looting — Attention and Search level up faster.

The radar map opens from a link in any browser: on a phone, tablet, laptop or second monitor. You can also share it with friends from your squad.
