## Ribbons

### Ribbons summary

Each ribbon has an associated **set of actions** which earn experience for that ribbon. When you earn enough experience, the ribbon will "level up". Some ribbon levels **unlock** new features such as new weapons or equipment, new vehicles, and Combat Badges. To check the details on a Ribbon (triggers and rewards), click on that Ribbon on the Ribbon Menu.

There are two types of ribbons:

* **Combat ribbons**, triggered by generic actions and unlocking generic rewards
* **Specialists ribbons**, triggered only by a specific equipment, and unlocking only rewards regarding that equipment.

You can buy a Booster either by clicking "Boost Ribbon" button on the Ribbon menu, or in the shop (Cart logo > Ribbons Boosters).

The "yellow square with a lightning" icon on a combat ribbon means that a booster is available for that particular ribbon. The booster is not yet active, therefore having no effect.
