XP

Not to be confused with the XP from PvZA.

The XP system is a new ranking system in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. Instead of the old ranking system, this ranking system is more based on the players' skill. There is an XP bar for each character. XP is rewarded instead of the old ways of getting coins in-game in the first Garden Warfare, such as getting vanquishes or healing a teammate, that will reward the player XP. When a character is leveled up, they may get an upgrade for that character depending on what level their character is at. When a character levels up, they glow for a couple of seconds. When a player reaches rank 100, there will be a new rank plate which reads "1", and there will be a new rank plate every 100 ranks. Everybody, regardless if they're max rank in the first game, will start from rank 1. It is currently unknown if Level 10 characters from the first game will be already unlocked if the player has unlocked them in the first game, they may need to level up their characters to get them.
