Survival Scoring

Scoring in Survival is separated into 5 categories: Mission, Combat, Survival, Looting, and Performance. Each category is counted separately, and totaled up to give an agent's final score in a game of Survival.
== Ranks ==
There are 6 ranks in Survival, depending on what score threshold one passes.
* Rank 0: No Rank (0-599)
* Rank 1: Novice (600-1749)
* Rank 2: Trained (1750-3999)
* Rank 3: Skilled (4000-7499)
* Rank 4: Expert (7500-9999)
* Rank 5: Master (10000+)
Scoring Master Rank for the first time awards the player with the Survival Instincts Trophy/Achievement, as well as completing said Commendation and adding the Killer Instinct patch to the player's collection.
In addition, PvP Survival mode grants a x1.2 multiplier to the final score.
== Mission ==
These points are earned for completing objectives in Survival.
* Virus Filter Crafted: 300 (Craft the Basic Virus Filter)
* Dark Zone Entered: 800 (Enter the Dark Zone)
* Flare Gun Crafted: 500 (Craft the Flare Gun in a DZ Hideout)
** This score is actually each Flare Gun you pick up, including the one you may craft.
* Antivirals Retrieved: 600 (Find the Antivirals in the Dark Zone)
* Time Sensitive Materials: 600 (Complete a Survival run within 20 minutes of the start of the game.)

* Medkits: 50 Points per Medkit
* Medicine and Painkillers: 20 Points per Medicine/Painkiller
* Food: 20 Points per Energy Bar/Canned Food

These points are earned for fulfilling different tasks, mostly unrelated to the above categories.

** 500 Points for 1st, 400 for 2nd, 300 for 3rd, 200 for 4th, 100 for 5th
* No Man Left Behind: 400 Points per Player

** These players must not be in your group at the start of the session.
* Never Downed: 750
* Never Unconscious: 500
* Hunter Defeated: 400 Points per Hunter
== Rewards ==
EXP gains and bonus Caches rewarded vary depending on which rank one receives.
* No Rank: 0 Caches
* Novice: 1 Cache (1 Survival)
* Trained 2 Caches (1 Survival, 1 Gear)
* Skilled: 3 Caches (1 Survival, 1 Weapon, 1 Gear)
* Expert: 4 Caches (1 Survival, 1 Weapon, 2 Gear)
* Master: 4 Caches (2 Survival, 1 Weapon, 1 Gear)
== Tips to Score Higher ==
* Remember that all enemies in the Dark Zone are Level 30, allowing you to gain more points for killing fewer enemies.
* Take a Food and Drink before boarding the Helicopter; the score potential for Hunger and Thirst are much higher than that of simply holding on to the Food and Drink.
* Counting only the core objectives (Mission without Time Sensitive Materials and 1 Hunter), you score 4000 and 100% for Thirst and Hunger grants another 1000, totaling 5000, not counting other categories. You always start out at GS 38 (190 Points) which is definitely going to rise as you find better gear, so plan out how to get the other 5000 Points necessary.
* Killing 4 Hunters equates to 3200 Points, 1600 for the Hunters Defeated, and another 1600 for the Punisher bonus.
** This applies for every 4 Hunters killed, meaning 8 Hunters equates to 6400 Points, assuming the group can take on that many enemies.
* Don't be afraid to use a Medkit if low on health; they can also be crafted, and the points possible for Never Downed can be pivotal in gaining Master rank.
* It is actually possible to extract without grabbing the Antivirals. Don't forget them if you need the points!
