Reduced Multiplier XP

Another reduction you may be interested in is the amount of XP earned…

After the conclusion of all competitive matches, experience points (XP) will be distributed accordingly. However, if you leave a competitive game prematurely, it will result in no experience points being awarded. The experience meter will be displayed at the bottom of the scoreboard at the end of the round, featuring the following bars: Current XP (dark blue), Earned XP and Weekly XP Bonus (green), and Mission XP (dark yellow).

Underneath each XP bar, there will be small text indicating its type and calculation method, presented against a background of the corresponding color. In the event of a player ranking up, an additional text reading “Rank Up” with a purple background will appear after all other text elements.

Earned XP

The amount of XP a player gets at the end of a game is determined by their performance during the match, factored through the multiplier specific to the game mode. With the exception of competitive matchmaking games, this multiplier is based on the player’s score. In competitive mode, the multiplier is based on the rounds won by the player. Moreover, the multiplier is always rounded down to the nearest decimal. In casual mode, the maximum amount of experience points attainable is capped at 1,000.

Game mode: XP multiplier

Arms Race: 1.0 * score

Casual: 4.0 * score

Competitive and Premier: 30 * rounds won

Deathmatch (Classic): 0.2 * score

Deathmatch (Team vs Team): 3 * individual score

Demolition: 2.5 * score

Flying Scotsman: 4.0 * score

Wingman: 15 * rounds won

Weekly XP Bonuses

You’ll also receive a “Bonus XP” that resets on a weekly basis. This weekly bonus comprises 5000 XP, and once it’s used up, you won’t receive it until the next weekly reset. Additionally, if you play extensively each week, you’ll observe that your XP multipliers gradually decrease with each match until you reach 11167 XP.

XP Penalties

If players accumulate too much XP within a week, their XP multiplier will be reduced – significantly decreasing the XP earned across all game modes.

Approximate Gained XP Bonus XP Multiplier

Less than 4,500 XP 4.0 * Gained XP (1x Earned XP + 3x Weekly XP Bonus)

Between 4,500 XP and 7,500 XP 2.0 * Gained XP (1x Earned XP + 1x Weekly XP Bonus)

Between 7,500 XP and 11,167 XP 1.0 * Gained XP (1x Earned XP, No Weekly XP Bonus)

Greater than 11,167 XP 0.175 * Gained XP (0.175x Earned XP)

These are approximate values based on community testing.

What is XP Overload?

In CS2, the XP overload feature was first introduced in the February 6, 2024 update. When a player earns their usual weekly XP and enters a phase of reduced XP gain, they will then see the XP overload icon next to their name on the scoreboard, which will remain there for a week. With each consecutive week that the player maintains their XP-earning streak, the XP overload icon will evolve. At the end of a match, if the player has earned enough XP to trigger the XP overload, the icon will display, indicating how much more XP is needed to reach it.

Overwatch XP Rewards

If they successfully confirm the guilt of a suspect player, an Overwatch Investigator will receive an Overwatch XP Reward. The player will be initially notified of this reward on the main menu, and the Investigator can redeem the reward of 195 XP upon finishing their next match on an official server.

Additionally, the Weekly XP Bonus is applicable to the Overwatch XP Reward.

New Player Boosters

New players will also receive an XP boost as they climb their way through the Recruit and Private ranks.

Mission XPs

After Operation Bloodhound, Operation Missions no longer grants player item drops. Instead, they provide experience points (XP) to the player. Players with Operation passes who increase their player’s profile rank during the Operation will then become eligible for exclusive Operation item drops.

The XP a player earns from a mission will very much depend on its difficulty. Generally, easy missions will reward 200 XP, normal missions reward 300 XP, and hard missions reward 400 XP. Some missions offer additional base XP based on variations. Certain missions also grant bonus XP based on the player’s actions – such as kills with specific weapons or completing the mission within a certain number of rounds.

Mission XP will only be awarded once the mission is complete for the first time. Replaying the same missions will only reward you with earned XP.

Weekly bonus XP applies to XP earned in missions – and the XP penalty also affects this XP.

In Operation Wildfire, Blitz Missions are time-limited multiplayer missions that give players an extra 10 XP per round won. However, you’ll need to be at least Private Rank 3 to take part in competitive Blitz missions.

In Operation Hydra, missions no longer contribute XP to the player’s rank. Instead, they award Guardian XP as part of a different system.

Since Operation Shattered Web, each operation rewards a ‘Bonus Rank XP’ of 5000 XP. This reward is given to the player after completing a certain number of missions.
