Unlock Escort Duty at Player Rank 10

Reaching Player Rank 10 opens a second mission track with its own campaign goals and rewards.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Player Rank progression, then the Escort Duty campaign track

Escort Duty is gated by Player Rank 10. Before reaching that rank, use accessible dives and their objectives to advance general progression; once the requirement is met, select Escort Duty and begin working through its separate sector roadmap. This is a one-time unlock rather than a repeatable resource farm. After opening the branch, focus on its drill-and-refuel mission objectives instead of expecting Elimination progress to unlock Escort sectors.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Have access to the PC full-release progression systems.
  • Complete accessible dives to advance Player Rank.
  • Reach Player Rank 10 before selecting Escort Duty.
  1. Check your current Player Rank on the main progression screen.
  2. Choose an accessible Elimination dive or other unlocked mission to play.
  3. Complete the main objective and any practical secondary objective.
  4. Collect run rewards and finish the dive so progression can continue.
  5. Repeat manageable dives until the rank display reaches 10.
  6. Return to the mission selection and check that Escort Duty is available.
  7. Select its separate campaign track and review the first sector goal.
  8. Begin the Escort objective, gathering Oil Shale when the Drilldozer requires fuel.

Farming tips

  • Secondary objectives award Gold and XP, so completing a practical one can support progression during a normal run.
  • Once unlocked, Escort Duty has its own roadmap; do not expect Elimination sector progress to substitute for it.

Repeat, collect and use

The rank requirement is a one-time unlock. Rank advancement uses repeatable dives, but reaching Rank 10 does not need to be repeated.

Common mistakes

  • Searching for Escort Duty before Rank 10: advance Player Rank first.
  • Grinding only one difficult mission: use accessible dives you can complete consistently.
  • Assuming unlock completes a sector: select Escort Duty and satisfy its separate track objectives.

When to stop or switch

Stop the unlock loop when Escort Duty appears as an available branch; switch to its first sector rather than continuing rank-focused dives.
