XP earned from Accolades and Awards go toward a player’s progression in the game. Once enough XP is collected, the player’s level is increased by one. Each increase in level gives the player another Perk, up to the maximum level of 40.
You can improve each of the Hunter’s non-class specific loadout items and all of the Monster abilities by completing specific requirements. Progress toward each one is displayed after each game as the Character Mastery.
