Service Ribbons

Service Ribbons are a mechanic that rewards players with XP for repeating most tasks within Planetside. Earning a ribbon will grant the player 250 XP, which can be increased through experience boosts. Ribbons can be earned an unlimited amount of times for any and all actions.

Whenever a ribbon is earned, it will appear on the left side of your screen accompanied by a short, faction-themed jingle.

Ribbon Requirements

The exact method of earning a ribbon varies based on the action. For instance, to earn a T1 Cycler ribbon you must kill 10 enemies using the weapon. To see your progress towards ribbons, check out the stats page under your profile.

In the case of weapons, the requirement must be earned with a specific weapon. Using different weapons in the same category do not contribute towards a general "assault rifle" ribbon, rather towards ribbon for each given weapon.

The categories below display the requirements needed for every ribbon that can be obtained. Some ribbons share icons with eachother, such as carbines and assault rifles.
