Zombies Ranking System Explained

IMPORTANT THINGS AND FAQ
How do I calculate my KD?
In case you want to calculate your overall KD, open/take calculator, then divide kills with downs. Not deaths.
eg. 5000 kills, 55 downs.
5000 / 55 = 90.909 KD what means it's 90 KD

Where do I rank up, in what game modes?
Yes, you do rank up in all three modes (solo, public, custom).
Yes, you do rank up with any settings on custom game.
Your rounds survived won't appear on leaderboards while playing custom game, even tho all other things on leaderboards like kills, downs, deaths, headshots, revives, doors, perk drank will count in ranking up just like in other game modes and will appear on leaderboards.


RANK SYSTEM


You need to complete only one mission (doesn't matter which one) in case to rank up.
If you do it, and still didn't rank up, try to go and reach a high round, or just get blue eyes.

Consider 'missions' as options.


Taily marks
That's how many days in a row you played. Max is 5.
After losing a tail mark, you need to reach 15 rounds one time to return it. One tail mark can be returned each day.
You will lose a taily mark if you don't play any match in 24 hours.


One bone
You start with this rank.


One bone -> Two bones
First mission - Get +500 kills. If you get 500 kills with large down count and fail to rank up;
Second mission - Get +1000 kills.


Two bones -> a skull
First mission - Reach 50+ K.D. before 3,000 kills. If you fail;
Second mission - Reach 4,000 kills


a skull -> a skull with knife
First mission - Reach 140+ K.D. after 15,000 kills. If you fail;
Second mission - Reach 120+ K.D. before 20,000 kills. If you fail;
Third mission - Reach 80+ K.D. after 20,000 kills.
If you fail all 3 missions, then just get 80 K.D. and you should rank up.
If you are not promoted to next rank after completing third mission, then try to reach a high round (20, 30, 40)


a skull with knife -> two shotguns
First mission - Get minimum 150.00 K.D.


Second mission - Play alot. With the best stats, even 400+ KD, you wont achieve shotguns if you're not active.



You don't need to play TranZit, you can rank up even with playing Town or Farm only.
Normaly, after 40,000 kills you start to gain higher and higher chances to advance to this rank.



SUGGESTIONS

- Play solo alot
- Play nuketown alot, that's the place to rack up kill count
- Avoid bus depot survival unless you really want to play it to challenge friends
- Always be the one who opens all doors
- Aim for headshot most times
- Avoid galvaknuckles on high round
- Avoid TranZit unless you pro on it
- Try to avoid mustang and sally for some time to rack up headshot count
- Buy quick revive once per match by that you will prevent reducing your KD
- Go for double tap because it increases damage and fire rate. Yes, damage aswell
