Why is it so unbalanced?
I kill 5 players and get 250 XP, but if I were to afk in the circle for only 5 minutes i would get 900+... WTF?
It feels like this game is forcing me to hide from players and sit afk in buildings each game if I want to level up.
Who thought this was a good idea?
if I drop into the hotzone with my squad, kill 8 players, then die quickly, I would only get 400-500 xp.
if I kill 1-2 players then walk from circle to circle for 15 minutes before getting killed, I would get 2,700+ xp.
Steps on how I level up:
Pick pathfinder
Scan a survey beacon
hide in the center of the next circle
alt tab and watch YouTube
tab back in and scan another beacon
hide in the center of the next circle
alt tab and watch YouTube
etc...
And now with the battle pass and the "Legends Bonus" (That depends entirely on Survival time!!!), it completely removes all incentive to go out and get kills.
I want to level up my battle pass and character, and the best way to do that is AFKing.
Edit: you get 3 XP PER SECOND... Every 17 seconds you get 1 kills worth of XP

not much really.
i do see your point though.
and you want kills to be more rewarding than strategic outplay.
to that i chose to be neutral.
if i wanna play TDM i go play d2 or cod.
here i expect the mix of both.

Yep, with characters like pathfinder its so easy to loose players chasing you and hide on top of areas people usually can not get too...
Winning a game gives you around 900xp (I think) which is also pretty underwhelming.

I agree with your point that the xp rewards seem kinda wacky, but you say you go afk to level up? Why do you play the game? I don't understand why people are so fixated on levels as they are completely pointless to the actual gameplay, and if you don't actually enjoy playing the game why even bother.

BR is about survival, not killing.

Well then why does the last man standing wins aka survival instead of the man with the most kills?
BR is about survival, like it or not. XP distribution seems to agree.
