Cybercore features a total of Ten Ranks. Players begin their journey at Rank 0, embarking on an introductory mission en route to Argos III.
Cybercore's gameplay is divided into three Tiers of Organized Play, as outlined in the table below:
| Rank | Tier |
|---|---|
| 0 -3 | 1 |
| 4 - 7 | 2 |
| 8 - 10 | 3 |
Adopting a milestone progression approach, Cybercore typically awards one Rank upon the successful conclusion of each Mission. This expedited progression system is designed to be faster than many RPGs.
Missions may sometimes go off plan, especially as players ascend through the tiers. A failed mission only grants a Rank if the player accomplishes their Techglomerate's Shadow Mandate.
For longer narratives or home games desiring an extended campaign feel, dialogue with your GM is key to establishing the pace at which players should complete missions for rank advancement. You may also give your GM the liberty to dictate the progression tempo.
