How Streaks Work
Every consecutive kill increases your kill streak counter. The streak is displayed in the wilderness header with a fire icon. As your streak grows, you earn escalating multipliers on XP and scrap rewards from combat.
Streak Tiers
Kill streaks scale through several tiers as your count grows. Early tiers give a modest XP and scrap boost, while deep streaks (hundreds of kills) provide significantly higher multipliers on both XP and scrap, plus increased material drop rates.
The longer you keep your streak alive, the better your rewards, but dying resets it to zero.
Milestones & Resets
Reaching streak milestones (10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000) awards a scrap bonus based on the milestone number. Your streak resets to zero when you die or after 1 hour of inactivity. Stay alive and keep fighting to maximize your rewards.
