Earning RP

How you earn RP is changing a little bit in Season 13.

Starting in Season 13, all living members of a squad get RP whenever someone gets a kill.

On top of that, there is no longer a kill/assist cap for earning RP.

Additionally, the extra RP earned for placing well is being adjusted.

You also now earn an extra 100 RP just for getting promoted into a new medal tier.

This is called “third-party kill-stealing.”

No need to remember the term, though, because it no longer exists.

Demotions

Starting in Season 13, you’ve got the option to be demoted.

When you are demoted, your RP value will be reduced to 50% of the previous tier.
