Two things to do before your first match
CheckBadge-based rewards, including weapons and outfits, can only be earned on public servers — private servers block them entirely.
- Join the CAG Studio group on Roblox it gives you a free custom blueprint and unlocks the AKM assault rifle.
- Play on a public server, not a private one, any time you are chasing a badge reward.
How the level system works
Summary
Levels unlock weapons and equipment that you cannot get any other way. Every player starts at level 0, and the score you need climbs steadily — each new level costs 1,000 more score than the one before it. Capturing hardpoints and breaking armor do not count toward your score.
Earning weapons through kill milestones
Step
Many of the best weapons in the game are locked behind badge requirements that combine a total kill count with a single-session or single-life kill count.
- Reach 100 overall kills unlocks the Triangle Guard outfit.
- Reach 750 overall kills and 25 kills in one life earns the Legacy Mask badge and the Epic Kriss Vector SMG.
- Reach 1500 overall kills awards the Masked Lineage badge along with the Epic Colt Python revolver.
- Reach 2000 overall kills and 100 kills in one life grants the Frontman Destiny badge and the Epic SV-98M sniper.
- Earn 250 kills in one session using the SV-98M triggers the Golden Era badge and the Legendary GM6 Lynx sniper.
- Reach 5000 overall kills and 75 kills in one life unlocks the Mythic AX-50 sniper via The Myth badge.
Weapons you get from specific actions
Tips
These weapons require you to do something specific in the game world rather than just grind kills.
- Find the M4A1 sitting on top of one of the containers outside the Guard base to earn the Lost and Found badge and claim the weapon.
- Complete the glass bridge challenge to earn the Glass Ridge badge and the Epic PKP machine gun.
- Solve the Tower of Shadows puzzle to unlock the rare Mosin Archangel sniper.
- Earn 250 kills in a single session with the AKS-74U to get the Legendary Reaper-105 assault rifle.
- Earn 250 kills in a single session with the M4A1 to receive the Legendary Union Guard assault rifle.
ScoreStreaks and when to use them
Table
ScoreStreaks are split across three slots — drones, light support, and heavy support. Each slot has its own point cost.
| Advanced UAV (1250 score) | reveals enemy positions on the map for roughly 60 seconds. |
| Care Package (1250 score) | restores you to full health and hands you an HDR and DP-12 on the spot. |
| Hand Cannon (1400 score) | one-shots any enemy not wearing armor. |
| Juggernaut (2500 score) | gives you Tier 3 Armor and the M134 machine gun; slightly obstructs your vision. |
| Cruise Missile (2500 score) | a guided missile with a large explosion radius that ignores armor. |
| Tactical Nuke (10000 score) | kills every player on the opposing team and leaves a temporary fog; the single most expensive option in the game. |

Common questions
FAQCan I earn weapon badges on a private server?
No. Leaderstat badges are disabled on private servers, so any badge that requires kills or streaks must be earned on a public server.
How do I unlock the DShKM, the Legendary machine gun?
You need to meet Drachus, the creator of Squid Game 2042, in-game to earn the Meet the Creator badge. The badge description calls it one of the rarest badges to obtain.
