WARNING EDIT: Gundam Evolution is shutting down on Nov 29th
If you are one of the people who want to get the completion allocate as much time as you can until then as unfortunately it will no longer be possible to get the 100% after.

Current XP rates as of 2/2/2023
Loss/Draw 100 XP
Win 200 XP
1st win of the day is 500 + 200 for base win XP so 700 total
mvp 50 XP
Huge thanks to Pig Bimping for letting us all know the new XP rates.
Without first win of the day bonus you are now looking at the bare minimum of 490 Wins with MVP or 613 wins NO MVP to go from level 1 to player level 50
817 losses with MVP or 1225 losses NO MVP to go from level 1 to player level 50

Edit: the XP rates at launch were drastically higher. as of now they have reduced what you will read below but the XP required has not changed. It takes about 122,500 xp to hit 50 from level 1. My xp currently per match varies between 400 - 900 depending on performance and if you win or lose.
(numbers for draw given courtesy of nick da best 55)
Draw is 400 xp
Loss is 400 xp
Loss + mvp is 500 xp
Win 800 xp
Win + mvp is 900 xp
First win of the day i believe nets you 600 xp on top of the regular win xp.
So 1st win of the day + mvp is 1500xp
Not sure if ranked matches net different xp totals as i dont think theres enough people searching for ranked so i dont have any of those numbers.
Upon winning and obtaining mvp 142 times in combination(900xp matches without any first wins of the day) you will hit level 50. Alternatively you can lose 319 matches (400 xp without any mvp matches or first wins of the day) and hit level 50. Will update if anybody else finds any other numbers

I'm up to level 27 after playing since Wednesday, plus I made the Silver League tonight in Ranked Matches after my placement matches, so this game is a pretty easy steamroll except for the MVP achievement.

Wins are usually 400xp and you can like an extra 800xp on wins, plus first win of the day adds another 600xp I believe, I've only been half paying attention to those numbers so far.

Also, Ranked Matches net the same xp numbers that I mentioned above, although I won't know until next day in the server if the first win of the day bonus is the same or bigger.

Can't speak to the MVP numbers yet though, I haven't gotten a single MVP yet, although I was top of my losing team a few times.

Hang in there when searching for ranked, there's not a lot of people in there yet, but I managed to get seven placement matches tonight (two crashed), so you can get them, but they take a few minutes to round up enough people.

By Crater Bob on 04 Dec 2022 04:58

Used to be able to with double- and triple-boxers before BNEA annexed the NA and Euro servers together, the Euro servers were always dead after midnight anywhere in NA.

All you can really do now is practice up and try to get past the tryhards and of course, the worst of all, the Barbatos Simps who go out there every match in their OP-garbage machine and cause rage on both sides of the match, pissing off their enemies with their mace-stun-into-one-swing kills, and their own teammates with kill-stealing.

I'm actually glad this game's shutting down, not because I got my achievements early (minus Gold Ranker, finally got that on accident a couple weeks ago), but because the game's been garbage the whole time, and BNEA consistently ignored the player base who've spent nearly eight months complaining on deaf ears to BNEA about how OP the Barbatos is and the demands to have it either nerfed or nuked entirely, good riddance to bad rubbish, I just hope the rest of you can clear the achievements like I did and really stick it to the jerks at BNEA.

Would be nice but almost every single match ive played today bar a few has said error and crashed the lobby ive maybe went up 2 levels with 8 hours of "playing" if it can even be called that at this point. Im getting very very frustrated

By Not MJC on 04 Dec 2022 06:31

Yeah, I got a few crashes-back-to-title-screen as well, which was annoying because I was streaming at the time last night, but still made considerable process on levelling so far.

Also to answer the question in your DM, fifteen minutes is WAY too long to be waiting for a match, I'm on the NA server and I get a Casual match anywhere from fifteen second to less than three minutes on average, I'm not usually waiting too long for those, and as for Ranked last night, I was waiting a minimum of three minutes to five minutes for my placement matches, meaning if I didn't get one in five minutes, I'd give up and go to Casual to fill the time and try Ranked again after a Casual.

By Crater Bob on 04 Dec 2022 11:47

Im on NA as well but it seems like i wait forever for games. I decided to take a peak at recent players and they all find games much quicker ive even had to ask a few buddies to play to try to find a game(which like you they find games rather quick)

By Not MJC on 04 Dec 2022 20:36

I feel like people are playing Ranked more in the later evenings, that's my experience from last night.

By Crater Bob on 04 Dec 2022 21:36

Yeah thankfully i finally found ranked matches to get that done now its just grinding out the last 11 ranks and the beginner challenges

By Not MJC on 04 Dec 2022 21:46

Yeah, I've been getting Ranked matches all night on the NA server, I can't seem to get past Silver I though, I keep running into better teams right as I'm about to crest into Gold IV.

I've got nineteen Pilot Levels to go, within 380 Capital points to get the Nu Gundam, and I'll finish Beginner challenges Tuesday night when the server refreshes. Still trying to get MVP though, that's a pain in the ass, and I can't figure out how to track critical hits, but I did get my 1000 kills tonight.

By Crater Bob on 05 Dec 2022 05:49

Is searching at night better for ranked can never seem to find many games during day

By Kuvei on 05 Dec 2022 19:45

I got a literal mess of Ranked matches last night, I think the server's getting better populated with Ranked players, but unfortunately for me, I was getting as many losses as I was getting wins, so I'm stuck at the door to Gold IV and the Gold League achievement.

Casual matches are incredibly easy to get any time of day though, I'm up to Level 31 after starting this past Wednesday after the game dropped into the Marketplace. I'm thinking I might hit 50 by Friday or Saturday.

By Crater Bob on 05 Dec 2022 20:12

good luck everyone

By LordKevin75 on 06 Dec 2022 00:42

Yeah, we're gonna need it, the NA server is trashful of sweaty no-life kids after dark now, I got sent all the way down to Silver III, freakin' garbage!

By Crater Bob on 06 Dec 2022 05:08

I just won a game in this new season and was given only 200 points for a win with 500 for FWOTD. Fuck me

By PangoBara on 02 Feb 2023 15:55

Yeah it became difficult to find games because of my skill bracket being too high is all. Had to squad up with lower elo players via looking for group so i could finally find a game instead of waiting for 3 hours for 0 games (between the hours of 4pm and 7pm) nobody else i found on lfg had this issue though

By Not MJC on 06 Dec 2022 08:04

Also if you want to add to this. A draw is worth 400, the same as a loss

By NiCk Da BeSt 55 on 07 Dec 2022 07:44

I'm in the high 30's tonight, hoping to break Level 40 before the one-week anniversary of the console launch at 8PM ET Wednesday night when the weekly challenges refresh.

By Crater Bob on 07 Dec 2022 08:20

Okay, so I made Level 40 in seven days, that's not bad, I'm literally at Level 40 now (Well, three hours ago during my stream I got there, I'm working through 40 now), so it's not the worst progress grind, I might make Level 50 by the weekend.

By Crater Bob on 08 Dec 2022 01:03

Will add thank you nick.
Also good luck Bob im gonna be taking quite a lengthy break since i have a lot of other games id like to get around to but its really not a bad grind if you're having fun.

By Not MJC on 08 Dec 2022 09:16

Since you get 400 XP for losing Would assume that you could semi idle this while watching a movie or TV show and only need interact to select your gundam and advance the game after each match just rubberband Controller so you dont get idle kicked

By keoskey on 13 Dec 2022 02:40

I think there's an idle-kick.

By Crater Bob on 13 Dec 2022 03:01

For this game semi idle not recommended, because it nearly impossible to win 6 decent players, when you have 1 or more afk players. If moral side aside, you can report recent player so soon or later anybody just report afk player who only going back and forward.

By Nawhik on 13 Dec 2022 13:55

Yeah, you not only have to move around, but occasionally actually shoot AND HIT an enemy, found that out in a boosting session last night, where I was the only one over Level 20, managed to get most of the session's members to or at least near 20, and we found we had no issues linking up on the European server, although getting the match to form was a problem, I think we got like three matches in during two hours of a three-hour session.

By Crater Bob on 13 Dec 2022 18:33

This game punished you if you’re good because doesn’t matter how good you are if you’re team are bad you are losing . Even at 23.45 kd I average 60 kill a game I still lose more than winning

By MyFxxingTeam on 18 Dec 2022 01:42

Yeah, I'm getting screwed hard because the team sucks, you really have to build a four-pack of friends to take into matches, especially in Ranked because nine times out of ten your team is going to suck if you don't have good friends with you and you'll end up losing. I started the month at Silver II, made it to Silver I, then backslid all the way back to Bronze I, now I'm sitting in Silver IV, and the Gold League achievement is the last one I need for completion!

By Crater Bob on 18 Dec 2022 06:49

The recent update shortened the time limits and added time for each game mode. Apparently it’s their attempt to avoid these 30+ minute games of demolition. Great quality of life update for quicker games in general

By Pig Bimping on 22 Dec 2022 16:48

Really I don’t have nearly that good of that high kills and average a 60-70% win rate (if you remove the ranked match’s)

By Terrin on 22 Dec 2022 19:07

Quicker games nothing, we need better level-balancing for Ranked, I'm sick of losing!

By Crater Bob on 22 Dec 2022 19:23

Terrin, 70% win rate 😮? I’m only at 42% with a 19.88 kd right now . I’ve bought nu gundam so I’m doing more damage and kill like my average damage for nu gundam is 48,812 per 10 minutes . I’m Looking at battle records right now . average kill 46.25 per 10 minutes . Idk how game system work if it does have skill base matching making they just put you with worst team because you’re good or bad luck.

Crater bob, same for me I struggle to get to gold most ppl take 5 games to get to gold. Took me about 30 games . As an introvert I hate to party with ppl but out of desperation I did party up to rank up

By MyFxxingTeam on 02 Jan 2023 10:43

I'm still trying to get to Gold League, stuck in Bronze I eternally. :(
As for Level 50, I got that ages ago, I'm on Level 64, and my Season Pass level isn't far behind as I'm closing in on EX2.

By Crater Bob on 02 Jan 2023 21:05

The lack of backfill really pisses me off. This game is a team game, and even 5v6 is near impossible to win.

By WhiteHelljumper on 26 Jan 2023 15:17

Yeah, and the fact the game doesn't shutdown after one guy leaves until half the team is gone is a real deal-killer.

By Crater Bob on 26 Jan 2023 16:13

I think we all got reset for the new season that (was supposed to) start last night (but didn't because BNEA completely screwed up during maintenance and had to prolong the maintenance into this morning which I think failed again because I checked after the extended window and it was STILL down), I'd gotten to 79 but I think we all get reset and have to get to 20 again to open Ranked.

By Crater Bob on 02 Feb 2023 18:48

Apparently EXP was “boosted” for all the new players on console during season 2. No rank reset or anything, it seems the EXP levels are back to “normal”.

By Pig Bimping on 02 Feb 2023 18:51

Hmmm, okay, about to go live on my stream with this game in less than forty minutes, I'll see for myself.

By Crater Bob on 02 Feb 2023 20:22

Lol came to see if it was just a me issue but turns out it’s a “feature” for even less xp. Not gonna bother completing this now sadly.

By XElite NemesisX on 02 Feb 2023 21:44

Yeah totally don't feel like playing this since they nerfed the XP. Figure I'll just try for the first wins of the day until I eventually get to level 50.

By WhiteHelljumper on 03 Feb 2023 01:35

Sadly lady luck is not on my side and I lose so many games because of terrible teammates/quitters. Playing 38 games just to level up once just is not a good time to me.

By XElite NemesisX on 03 Feb 2023 14:17

And this is why I played early and got as many achievements as possible, before the devs could nerf the good stuff.

By Crater Bob on 03 Feb 2023 17:55

this is the dumbest XP change ever. Guess we gonna figure out idle lobbies

By Agent Active on 04 Feb 2023 02:27

Spam their twitter account with this garbage

By Agent Active on 04 Feb 2023 02:31

Screw that, go to their website and submit a support ticket, it's the only way they'll change anything, that's what I did last season, the Barbatos is too much to face, so enough of us complained there (and in the official Discord), and it got nerfed, if only a little. Still a pain to face, but at least now we have a chance against it.

By Crater Bob on 04 Feb 2023 07:09

Ridiculous. I was wondering how I played all night and didn’t level up a single time. This “update” just made the game well over 100 hours for completion.

By CHASE1494 on 04 Feb 2023 20:06

Yeah, I made Level 79 on Monday before the Tuesday "maintenance", and I streamed for four hours each of the past two nights and played for four more after each stream, and I'm still 79 going into my Saturday stream in a few hours.

By Crater Bob on 04 Feb 2023 21:39

WOW! That’s ridiculous. Just realized I see your name pop up pretty often in my matches. Nice to see you on here Crater Bob!

By CHASE1494 on 06 Feb 2023 06:33

Can't say as I've seen you, good eye. Won't be seeing me for a week or two though, my Day One XBox One finally let itself go tonight after more than nine years of faithful service, I hate to have to replace it in this condition, I was hoping it would still function the day I was to replace it this month with a refurbished XBox One X from EB Games/GameStop, but sadly it's died. I can get it to start, but I can't get it past the reset screens.

By Crater Bob on 06 Feb 2023 06:39

This XP update is taking the piss

By Scully934 on 28 Feb 2023 10:51

This change is sad to see. I was excited to come back to this game and go for max rank but until something changes I guess I'll be moving onto the next one 😪 I went to there website and gave a feedback ticket, I'm sure that won't do much unfortunately..

By ir0nici0nic on 17 Apr 2023 22:28

I did it early in the first two or three weeks, sucks BNEA keeps nerfing the shit out of this one to make it uber-harder than it needed to be.

Still chasing that gold league achievement myself, can't seem to find the right people to do it with.

By Crater Bob on 18 Apr 2023 00:06

I'm in this one for the long haul. The 700 experience for first win and win bonus (500 for 1st win and 200 for win bonus) once per day means you only need to play 175 games w/o a loss and w/o mvp to reach level 50. Definitely so much faster to get one win a day than to continually play for hours

By x ShadoVV x on 28 May 2023 11:06

Does anyone know if they reverted the xp change?

By ir0nici0nic on 02 Jun 2023 23:57

Since yesterday I know the xp values hadn’t changed from the 100 loss and 200 win. If they did something today I’m not entirely sure, but I doubt they’ll change it.

By x ShadoVV x on 03 Jun 2023 00:09

Thanks for the info x ShadoVV x

By ir0nici0nic on 03 Jun 2023 21:06

Not that serious there crater. Barbatos is not unstoppable by any means, but it helps having good teammates who know how to handle him. Distance is key and making sure you hit those crits

By x ShadoVV x on 03 Jun 2023 23:36

Yeah? Tell that to the hardcore Barbatos players that go out of their way every match to make as many people ragequit the game as they can, no seriously, no matter how far I run, Barbatos ALWAYS catches me, and if you voice your opinion in the Gundam Evolution Discord server, the Barbatos simps come out of the woodworks chanting "SKILL ISSUE!" and the mods give you shit for raising a stink, that's why a friend of mine and I left that Discord server, we couldn't put up with the simps sweating for Barbatos and the mods punishing the victims.

Barbatos gotta go, that's the ONLY way I'm streaming that garbage game ever again, it's Doomfist version one all over again!

By Crater Bob on 04 Jun 2023 04:50

So how much exp does every level have? I'm currently level 31(3,100exp) and I want to know if I should continue to try to get this achievement

By VickTijuas on 14 Jun 2023 03:15

Just add 100 exp to every level

By x ShadoVV x on 14 Jun 2023 05:48

FYI, they're closing the servers 29th Nov for anyone working towards this achievement

By Scully934 on 20 Jul 2023 09:38

posted it at the head of the guide thanks for the heads up

By Not MJC on 20 Jul 2023 10:08

Let's hope they boost the xp gains back up now that game is closing

By keoskey on 20 Jul 2023 17:03

I currently can't log into the game. The connection keeps failing

By Agent Active on 21 Jul 2023 16:33

i end up playing each day and as soon as i get that first win of the day i stop not worth playing after that. Each match is way to much work and stress to only get 100-200 xp per-match

By keoskey on 22 Jul 2023 03:29

I just started and yikes, I'm not good and casual has no chill. Are you able to lock down a lobby or do boosting sessions just try and fight off people and drop others from the session in as best they can?

By oinkbat on 22 Jul 2023 20:20

I think I caught that combo here and there. I see what you mean. It's an otherwise kind of a good game for the fan base. I know nothing about Gundam. Thank you for your reply.

By oinkbat on 22 Jul 2023 22:04

You're welcome, and it was a great game in the beginning, but then the Barbatos simps came in and ruined it for everyone, sorry you had to catch it in the end-phase.

By Crater Bob on 22 Jul 2023 23:20

i really enjoyed this game as well but i wish they would have done more with it it really sucks

By Not MJC on 22 Jul 2023 23:53

Yeah, nerfing/nuking Barbatos would've gone a long way to establishing faith in the game with the player base. That "nerf" they did in May did nothing, all it did was reduce Barbatos' health by 100, and take 100 damage off the mace swing and the sword G-Maneuver, but it did nothing to fix the way too OP mace-stun-into-mace-swing that would disarm and kill a full-health Sazabi with its shield up.

BNEA really dropped the soap on this one, and it's the gamers who suffer as a result.

By Crater Bob on 23 Jul 2023 05:07

If you get one win a day from now until closure, you get 89,600 xp. So it's very doable, if a hassle.

By Rimithel on 24 Jul 2023 04:59

XP rates are still low, anyone wanting to feasibly attain this better Contact BNEA's support and request XP change or 8x multiplier if they want to make it in time

By SplitScream1 on 13 Nov 2023 09:46

Yeah, good luck with that, BNEA doesn't listen to the player base AT ALL, we had to scream at 'em all year to get a Barbatos nerf and even then it was so minimal it was completely unnoticeable, a full-health Sazabi with its shield up still gets destroyed in one stun strike from the Barbatos, no way BNEA will grow a heart and give the player base an XP event. If it doesn't fatten their wallet, they don't care.

By Crater Bob on 13 Nov 2023 19:12

I'm not either LordKevin, but I'm about halfway through the 30's right now, I'm thinking the one TA member who has this achievement was probably a beta-tester who got in early. I'm grinding daily myself and making levels quickly, but in five days, I'm only in the mid-30's, so the guide MJC wrote is a pretty good baseline for what needs to be done.

By Crater Bob on 06 Dec 2022 06:53

Ranked is screwed no matter what time of day I play, I'm down to Silver III and stuck there, nothing but Ranked losses today.

On the upside, I got my critical hits and Beginner Challenges achievements today, just need those pesky MVP and Gold League achievements and Pilot Level 50, I'm up to Level 37 today.

Just a heads-up, the Beginner challenges and the Season Pass and Premium Pass rewards are the ONLY way to get Capital points for now, so use your Beginner challenge Capital points wisely! Thankfully I bought Nu Gundam, but I wasted 720 points on Supply Pods yesterday, I could've had 970 points left right now.

By Crater Bob on 07 Dec 2022 02:39

Unbelievable, the XP got nerfed for no reason. Level does absolutely nothing in this game and the game has already been out on Xbox for months! Looks like it’s 100 for loss/tie, 200 for win, 50 for MVP, and 500 for first win of the day as stated above. Im glad I’m at least level 47 because this is a colossal grind all of the sudden. The estimated completion time just tripled.

By Pig Bimping on 02 Feb 2023 18:01

I mean I'm still playing because it's somewhat fun and now I can do Placement Matches towards the Gold League achievement I'm missing and finally complete this. Plus, if pay $15 for 1000 EVO Coins, you can buy the Premium Pass and you actually earn back the 990 EVO Coins for the Premium Pass back and you can buy the new Premium Pass every season that way and not have to pay for more EVO Coins along the way (unless you want to buy mobile suits/Gundams, in which case you earn 2000 Capital Points through Season Pass anyway and you can purchase one per season.

By Crater Bob on 03 Feb 2023 01:57

Bandai Namco Entertainment America (BNEA) will fix nothing in this game, they lied last week when they said they finally nerfed the Barbatos, it changed NOTHING!!! The Barbatos is still horribly OP and destroys machines in a single stun-combo, sometimes only in a stun and a follow-up hit, I'm so done with this game, I'm not streaming it anymore whatsoever, I gave it one last chance this past Tuesday after dumping it from my stream schedule a few weeks ago, and I regret giving it that last chance, BNEA can go take a long walk off a short pier for all I care, Gundam Evolution is dead to me, one achievement left or not.
