The Maelstrom Protocol’s challenges change every week, so each week you will receive 9 new objectives, 6 new operators, and modes as well. You will also be pushed into the arena with limited resources and a time limit, but the end rewards are worth it.
After three missions, the difficulty level increases and will keep getting more challenging with each passing stage. Your resources will be depleted and the refills will decrease the deeper you go. On the plus side, if you succeed and earn more XP, the more points you will get, and in turn, will help boost your rank. You can also earn some cosmetics, seasonal headgears according to your rank, and REACT credits as well. While the REACT credits are permanent, the seasonal headgear can change, so you will need to keep coming back after each season to get the latest headgear.
Below are all the classes in the mode and the points you need to advance. The better your performance, the higher the class.
- Bronze: 20,000 XP
- Silver: 30,000 XP
- Gold: 50,000 XP
- Platinum: 70,000 XP
- Diamond: 90,000 XP
If you want to reach Diamond class, you will have to play your best, as after reset, you will have to start from the beginning. The missions won’t change throughout the week, so you still get time to fine-tune your strategies till you can reach Diamond.
That’s all there is to know about Maelstrom Protocol game mode in Rainbow Six Extraction.
