{{Quote|</br> I'm proud of you. You've done well for yourself since you joined the Company. I recall you joining up as a scrawny greenbeard, and figured you'd join the dead down in the deeps in short order. </br> However, consider my position changed... you've grown into your role and have more than proven yourself. </br> It's my personal pleasure to announce that management has granted your promotion. Rock and Stone, miner! Well done. </br> ''' - Mission Control'''}}


'''Promotions''' become available when the player reaches level {{level}} 25 on any class and have completed all prerequisite [[Assignments#Promotion|Promotion Assignments]]. It acts as a prestige system for players who have hit the max level on their class and want to continue gaining XP for their class. Previously unlocked items and upgrades will not reset upon promoting a class. The Promotion terminal can be found in the [[Memorial Hall]].

===Honor Badge===
[[File:Promotion awaits.jpg|thumb|right|320px|Promotion fee example]]
[[File:Promotion Combined.png|thumb|right|320px|Available Honor Badges]]
The player is granted an Honor Badge upon their first promotion; it borders the character portrait with a bronze border and one white star. Every subsequent promotion will add another white star, for a maximum of three stars. After the fourth promotion, the border switches from bronze to silver, and the amount of white stars will reset back to 1. Upon reaching three more promotions, the border switches from silver to gold; then from gold to platinum; then from platinum to diamond; then finally from diamond to legendary; the highest border for the Honor Badge. Promotions after that will not change the border, however will still allow the player to continue leveling their [[Experience#Required Experience Per Level|Character Level]].


The list of Honor Badges goes as follows:

===Benefits From Multiple Promotions===
Beyond the first promotion, which unlocks an [[Perks|Active Perk Slot]], [[Deep Dive]] and [[Machine Events]] access, there are no game-changing benefits. Honor Badges only represent time a player has put into their class. Promotions should be purchased as soon as possible, as players will not receive further XP towards their [[Level|Character Level]] once they reach level 25. It also helps increase the Player Rank {{rank}} which unlocks [[Assignments#Prestige_Assignments|Prestige Assignments]] and [[Experience#Player_Rank|rank titles]].
Each promotion ('''Except for the first one''') will also reward a {{icon resource|Matrix Core}} '''Blank Matrix Core''', one [[Weapon Overclocks|Weapon Overclock]] and a [[Accessory_Shop#Matrix_Core_Cosmetics|Matrix Core Cosmetic]]

<br>

==Trivia==

*Promotions were known as '''Retirement''' in [[Update 18: Job Opportunities]] and changed in [[Update 19: Guns! Lots of Guns!|Update 19]]. Instead of keeping all unlocked class items, '''Retirement''' reset all unlocked class items.
*[[Update 30: Going 1.0]] added three more Honor Badge: Platinum, Diamond and Legendary.
