Medal

Medals are an achievement system that reward players for consistently using a single weapon over a large number of kills.

Medals are awarded at kill milestones, with four medals available—copper, silver, gold, and auraxium. Each can only be earned once per weapon, and are earned in ascending order. Earning a medal awards a sum of Certification Points.

Almost every weapon in PlanetSide 2—whether used by infantry or vehicle-mounted—can earn medals for its use.

Progress towards medals can be viewed in the loadout menu, tracked beneath the relevant weapon.
