Rainbow Six Vegas 2 features a Persistent Elite Creation (PEC) Reward system to help your character gain experience points. Because the PEC reward system works across both single player and multiplayer, it pays to know how to use this system to your advantage and rank your character up for the best results.

There are two separate systems at play here and understanding them is crucial, XP Points and Specialisation Points. Here we look specifically at the XP Points system and the rewards, but remember that Specialisation points will help increase XP points.

The first thing to be aware is that when earning points playing the single player campaign, or co-op with friends, is that the amount of XP earned depends on the difficulty rating for that mission. See the table below and maximise your XP!

The next thing to know is that your ill considered actions will have penalties! These penalties are very severe so be very careful with your aiming…

Finally, in multiplayer matches each kill is worth 10 XP. It is VERY important to be aware of the anti-cheat system built into multiplayer games. On servers with less than 4 players, there is an 80% deduction made to all earned XP. To avoid any type of penalty such as this you must play on servers with 12 or more players!

So to rank up as quickly as possible in Rainbow Six Vegas 2, play online, in busy servers, and avoid shooting friendlies!

Vegas 2 XP Points

Once you start playing with the points explained above in mind, you will soon start working your way up the Vegas 2 ranks. XP points lead to rank promotions, new armour and new clothing options, headgear options and camouflage as shown in the table below.

Additionally there is a bonus 4th reward for Second Lieutenant of Cyclone Combat Shoulders.
