As you gain EXP by playing games, you will rank up. Your rank is an indicator of how long you have been playing Combat Arms. You can unlock certain equipment only by attaining a certain rank. Although it denotes your experience with the game, it doesn't necessarily denote your skill level. Only a certain number of people are allowed to hold the four highest ranks. Otherwise, you will only rank up and never rank down. When you rank up, you also gain some GP.

Once you get to the Staff Sergeant Rank, there will be multiple classes within a rank. While "classing up" is still considered "ranking up" (you will get a GP promotion, maybe unlock something, etc), your insignia does not change for "classing up".

As you gain EXP by playing games, you will rank up. Your rank is an indicator of how long you have been playing Combat Arms. You can unlock certain equipment only by attaining a certain rank. Most pieces of gear in the game require at least the Recruit rank. Trainees have access to only a very few guns.

Although your rank denotes your experience with the game, it doesn't necessarily denote your skill level. Only a certain number of people are allowed to hold the four highest ranks. Otherwise, you will only rank up and never rank down. When you rank up, you also gain some GP.

Once you get to the Staff Sergeant Rank, there will be multiple classes within a rank. While "classing up" is still considered "ranking up" (you will get a GP promotion, maybe unlock something, etc), your insignia does not change for "classing up".

The following table lists the ranks in ascending order, along with their respective insignias, abbreviations, EXP needed to attain the rank, and anything that is unlocked at that rank.

The four highest ranks in Combat Arms can only be held by a certain number of people. Even if you reach the required EXP, you will not rank up beyond BG unless you meet the qualifications. If you hold a rank higher than BG, you can be demoted back to BG by failing to maintain the qualification. There are no unlocks for these ranks.

Ranks Abbr. EXP Needed Qualification
CA rank-BG.jpg Brigadier General BG 5100000 Reached BG EXP but not qualified for higher rank
CA rank-MG.jpg Major General MG 5500000 Reached MG EXP and is in the top 100 people not qualified for LTC
CA rank-LTG.jpg Lieutenant General LTG 6000000 Reached LTC EXP and is in the top 10 people not qualified for GEN
CA rank-GEN.jpg General GEN 6800000 Reached GEN EXP and is in the top 3 people not qualified for GOA
CA rank-GOA.jpg General of the Army GOA 8000000 The person who has reached GOA EXP and has the highest EXP out of all Combat Arms players holds this rank
