Description
This simple mod is designed to Save You Time by allowing you to
Rise through the Peacekeeper Ranks faster.
Thus enabling you to reach the harder and higher tier bounties/post-end game missions sooner,
with less time spent grinding out errands through the same system.

Current Version 1.1.6

Rank Bonus Per Level
Here's the bonus rank progression bonus you receive per tier:


Bounty tier
Mission Group
Rank Up Bonus
Typical Threat Level
I
Becoming a Peacekeeper
+100%
2
II
Rookie Assignment
+100%
3
III
Rising Through The Ranks
+25%
4
IV
The Good Fight
+25%
5

For major end bounty arks and peacekeeper missions, an extra 2-3 credits are awarded to balance out the increase in levelling up.

Note: Bonuses take effect on New Bounty Quests only.


Flexible Compatibility:
This mod works on the client side and is fully compatible with Vanilla multiplayer and just about any mod.

Have Fun!



F.A.Q.
Do Not install this mod 🚫❌if:
You are not yet confident with combat/equipment.
You can safely uninstall this mod without breaking anything.

Made anything else to make individual bounties more interesting?
See Tougher Mobs below :)


I found a bug/something I'm not a fan of...
Please let us know in the discussion board.

Will this cause me to miss any pre-made developer map or mission
No, in fact, it will enable you to reach them faster.


Is this a standalone mod?
Yes

I have enough points for the next rank, how do I get the capstone mission to appear?
The base game will then generate the capstone mission when the board is clear. You can reach said mission by either completing the remaining quests or accepting and abandoning them.


I've finished the battleship mission already, will this mod still have an effect?
Yes, with a faster rank up speed you'll still be assigned to new peacekeeper stations sooner. If you've already reached the next threshold, you can complete or cancel the remaining quests (accept then abandon) for the capstone to appear; which will allow you to proceed to the next station.

I have another question/comment!
Great! Please use the comments or discussion board to let us know!

Synergizes with Tougher Mobs with Better Loot and other mods

If you're okay with further increasing the game's challenge/enemy durability, please consider using this other mod to expand the experience:
  • Further 20% increase in rank speed (multiplicative x1.2). E.g. tier 1 progresses at 240% speed instead of 200%.
  • Gang leaders have commander powers and buffs.
  • Shareable peace credit bonus.
  • Improved enemy drops
  • Much more...

OK, looks like it was a more subtle problem, probably with FU's quest list changes. When I quit and restarted the last bounty I was missing appeared in my list.

Hmm. I just switched to FU (restarted a new character, of course) and I wonder if an interaction between the two is the reason I'm now stuck on Peacekeeper progress.

After the intial gang I got moved to the second station as expected, and got a set of bounties there. But when I finished that set, the board was empty. I have no peacekeeper quests in my quest list at all, and the board won't give me more.

@mindytides It only affects new* quests added to the bounty board after the mod is installed. Due to scaling, the bonus for tier 4 is the lowest at +25%.

this mod doesn't seem to have an affect on my ranking. it did in my earlier ranks but now at rank 4 i'm only getting +60 points for a normal bounty

Hi @OMEGAlinc,

You need to do two things to level up to each subsequent rank:

* Complete clear (cancel or complete) All Bounty Quests at Your current accepted backlog and bounty board.
* Reach the threshold of bounty reward points to the next tier (The mod increases the scaling of the latter to get You there faster).

Hi @littlest.hegehog
What do You mean by stuck?

If You've reached the threshold for the next bounty tier (or want to reroll Your quests), simply complete/cancel your remaining bounty quests and You'll receive the next quest.

Edit: Once the last quest of a station is complete, You should be assigned a new rank and station

Edit 2: Note that: Keeping the Peace is a repeating quest at the highest level (tier 6),
Going after Occasus is a one time quest line that only unlocks after You've gone through the last Keeping the peace round And defeated Ruin.
