In multiplayer, what does XP/leveling up do?

[DrSunshyn]

Can I spend experience on things? What's the dealio?

I'm guessing that for now it's mostly a show off thing. It wouldn't really be in the spirit of M&B to allow people to skill up in multiplayer.

I am pretty sure that having skills and additional perks unlocked by just being high level won't be the thing in BL. However I reckon that cosmetics and badges could be added bit later.

I really think they should add something more that let's you show others your dedication. There are badges, yes... we can probably expect more of those. But what about things that makes your character in game stand out?

Does level even show in game? What would be cool is that if you really stand out by being high level, that can be pretty interesting in skirmishes. If I see a really high level enemy guy in a battle it should make us tremble in fear , or maybe give my team some incentive to target the most "renown" player first.

Would be nice if it was reflected in the banner over your head. Maybe higher levels could have more decorated or different coloured versions of the default banner.

You need to play the kinda "quick play" gamemodes, using the search function on the main multiplayer menu.
