Four progression tracks
The four progression tracks work as revealed during the launch week:
| Track | What earns it | What it is tied to |
|---|---|---|
| Profile | XP from all roles | Overall account progression |
| Killer | Playing Michael | Michael unlocks and systems |
| Civilian | Playing a specific civilian | Per-character progression |
| Weapon | Dispatching victims with a specific weapon | Michael weapon progression |
Increasing these levels can unlock additional civilians, Michael abilities, civilian starting items, cosmetics, challenge tiers, executions and more. Each category can be prestiged after its maximum level.
If you logged in during Early Access before 9:00 AM PST on September 8, 2026, the launch post grants 5000 Perk Points. Official note: they may take extra time to appear.
Challenges are a second progression layer
There are passive challenges that track automatically and progressive challenges tied to specific civilians, Michael skins and weapon types. The six story chapters also contain optional challenges that award alternate outfits and unique cosmetics.
How civilian perk cards work
- Finish matches to earn perk points.
- Spend perk points to roll for perk cards.
- Spending more on a roll can increase the chance of higher-rarity cards.
- Build decks from the cards you own.
- Equip a deck to a civilian loadout.
- Perk points can also temporarily upgrade owned cards for a set number of matches.
Patch 1.0.1 caps each Perk Deck at two copies of the same perk (over-limit cards were unequipped automatically) and increased the XP required for the initial in-game perk rolls.
Card names, rarity odds, and a “best perk” ranking are still not a first-party table. This page will not invent one.
Character stat lines (not a ranking) are on the civilian stats page.
No cross-progression at launch plan
The July developer stream says crossplay is planned across platforms, but cross-progression is not currently planned. If you split time between PC and console, do not assume your profile, civilian or weapon levels will follow you.
