The '''Performance Pass''' was introduced with the [[Season 01: Rival Incursion]] update, and contains various [[cosmetics]], [[Resources#Crafting.2FUpgrades|resources]], and [[credits]] that players can unlock through playing. The duration of a season is approximately six months, with the seasons directly following each other without any downtime.

The '''Performance Pass''' consists of three major elements: the progression track, the daily challenges and the cosmetic tree. Completing missions and challenges earns players {{ppoints}} '''Performance Points''' and advances them along the track. Some daily challenges and certain track milestones award {{scrip}} '''Scrip''', a currency that can be used to unlock items in the cosmetic tree.

Once a season is over, unspent {{scrip}} Scrip expires, and all seasonal items that haven't been claimed by a player are moved to other item pools, specifically [[Cargo Crate]]s, [[Lost Pack]]s, the [[Accessory_Shop|Shop]] and [[Accessory_Shop#Matrix_Core_Cosmetics|Matrix Core Cosmetics]]. No seasonal cosmetics are permanently cycled out of the game.

== Performance Points ==
[[File:PP icon.png|80px|left|link=]]
Players start at rank 1 and can advance as far as they like, receiving either cosmetic items or currency (such as [[Resources|crafting minerals]]) at each new rank, although the progression track offers only [[credits]] past Rank 100. 

Each rank requires 5000 {{ppoints}} '''Performance Points''' (PP). Performance Points can be gained in the four following ways.
{{clear}}
=== Earning [[Experience|Mission XP]] ===
Playing any [[Missions|mission]] will award Performance Points by a share of the total mission [[experience]] gained. <br> 
A successful [[Deep Dive]] always awards 1537 {{ppoints}}, while an Elite Deep Dive awards 1731 {{ppoints}}.

Here are '''approximate''' numbers of total mission experience required for certain numbers of Performance Points. <br>
The formula is using diminishing returns, therefore, [[Double XP]] anomaly does not equal double the points.<br>
Some [[Seasonal Events]] will spawn a special item on missions that, if deposited, doubles the Performance Points of that mission.

=== Collecting Plague Hearts ===
[[File:Plagueheart icon.png|125px|left]]
[[Plagueheart]]s can be acquired during any normal [[Missions|mission]] with a [[Plagueheart#Meteor_Impact|Meteor Impact]] and [[Plagueheart#Meteor_Shower|Meteor Shower]] events. Cracking a large meteorite reveals 3 to 4 Plaguehearts. Small shards can be mined with the pickaxe directly; a meteor shower event typically produces 1 Plagueheart (although the theoretical maximum can go up to 7). Each deposited Plagueheart awards 300 {{ppoints}} upon mission completion.

As a way to boost early progression, each 6 collected Plaguehearts also award 1 {{scrip}}, for a maximum of 15. It can be claimed at the Season Terminal on the [[Space Rig]].

=== Completing Season Assignment ===
Completing the Critical Corruption seasonal [[Assignments#Critical_Corruption|assignments]] will reward a total of 25,000 {{ppoints}}.

Both parts consist of 5 missions rewarding a total of 12,500 {{ppoints}} in addition to [[credits]] and [[Crafting Materials|crafting materials]].

* Part I: Mutation
* Part II: Turning The Tide

=== Completing Season Challenges ===
[[File:Season_clallenge_refresh_example.jpg|300px|thumb|With two out of three challenges completed, the third one will not start refreshing until the second one finishes doing so.]]
'''Season Challenges''' can be any of the following:

{|style="margin-top:10px; margin-left:30px; margin-bottom:30px"
| - Complete 2 [[Mutators#Lithophage Outbreak|Lithophage Outbreak]] warnings
|1 {{scrip}}. After being completed 15 times, it changes to 2,500 {{ppoints}}.
|-
| - Complete 3 or 5 missions in two different biomes
|2,500 {{ppoints}} or 3,750 {{ppoints}}
|-
| - Complete 3 or 5 missions as two different classes &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
|2,500 {{ppoints}} or 3,750 {{ppoints}}
|-
| - Complete 3 or 5 missions of two different types
|2,500 {{ppoints}} or 3,750 {{ppoints}}
|}

Players can make progress on and complete several challenges at once, provided the conditions are met. However, challenges are refreshed at a rate of only one every 21 hours with three maximum active.

A single challenge can be re-rolled once per day by hovering the cursor over its description box and selecting the button in the bottom-right corner. Any progress on the challenge being re-rolled will be lost.

== Cosmetic Tree & Scrip ==
[[File:Cosmetic_tree_example.jpg|500px|thumb|The cosmetic tree offers some flexibility in how the player prioritizes their rewards.]]

{{scrip}} '''Scrip''' can be used to purchase items on the cosmetic tree. In Season 4 it can be gained from the following sources:

* certain ranks of the Performance Pass, to a total of 60
* the first 15 [[Lithophage Outbreak]] challenges
* the first 90 [[Plagueheart]]s (1 {{scrip}} per 6 Plaguehearts)

The '''Cosmetic Tree''' is a big tree-like connected grid of various [[Accessory Shop|cosmetics]], [[Weapon Skins|paintjobs]], and [[Weapon Skins|weapon frameworks]]. Some items have connection nodes between them that will grant 50 of a single pre-determined [[Resources#Crafting.2FUpgrades|crafting resource]].

The path of unlocked items is marked in yellow liners/borders, while items that can be unlocked with the next Scrip have a shining outline. Inaccessible items are greyed out.

Each node (including the connection points) requires 1 {{scrip}} to unlock. The entirety of the Season 4 cosmetic tree requires 90 {{scrip}}, which is exactly how much Scrip can be earned during the season.

* Even though the name "'''Performance Pass'''" is most likely a reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_pass "'''Battle Pass'''"], it has no monetization to it.
* Scrip is based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_scrip company scrip], currency paid by a company to its employees as substitutes for government-issued legal tender, often only usable at company stores in remote locations.
