== XP ==

The current formula:

* Win: 8 &times; kills + 10 &times; players + 2 &times; finals + 40
* Loss: 8 &times; kills + 2 &times; players + 2 &times; finals + 10

Notes:

* <code>kills</code> is the scoreboard kill count, identical to the <code>+N kills</code> breakdown. Finals count as kills too, so a final kill is worth 8 + 2 = 10 XP.
* <code>players</code> is the number of players the game started with.
* Eliminated players either receive the full loss base (2 &times; players + 10) or none of it, in a binary fashion; the trigger is not identified (possibly finish placement or leaving before game end).
* Games shorter than about 45 seconds pay reduced XP; a forfeit at 0 seconds pays 0 XP.

=== Old formula (through 2025-06-14) ===



* Win: floor(50 &times; min(duration, 60) / 60) + 5 &times; kills
* Loss: floor(20 &times; min(duration, 60) / 60) + 5 &times; kills

Only the base term ramped with game length (full value at 60 seconds); kills always paid their flat 5 XP. There was no finals bonus or player count term. Free-for-all payouts in this era depended on finish placement and were not fully resolved. The change to the current formula was unannounced and dates to the 2025-06-30 update window.
