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. Nearly all guns are unlocked by the time a player reaches the Staff Sergeant 3 rank. Trainees have access to 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
	Brigadier General	BG	5100000	Reached BG EXP but not qualified for higher rank
	Major General	MG	5500000	Reached MG EXP and is in the top 100 people not qualified for LTC
	Lieutenant General	LTG	6000000	Reached LTC EXP and is in the top 10 people not qualified for GEN
	General	GEN	6800000	Reached GEN EXP and is in the top 3 people not qualified for GOA
	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
