The number next to your name on the scoreboard is your score. It does not affect the game; it shows how much you contributed.
Kills#
Killing something gives its kill score, split with players who helped (assists):
| Target | Score | Target | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marine | 5 | Skulk | 5 |
| Jetpacker | 10 | Gorge | 7 |
| Exosuit | 20 | Lerk | 15 |
| Command Station | 20 | Fade | 20 |
| Extractor | 15 | Onos | 30 |
| Power node | 10 | Hive | 30 |
| Infantry Portal | 10 | Harvester | 15 |
Parasiting a marine gives 1. Welding and heal spray give score for the amount repaired.
Construction#
The score for helping build a structure scales with how long it takes to build and how much of it you built:
- Aliens: build time ÷ 5 × your share, rounded up.
- Marines: build time ÷ 2 × your share, rounded up.
- At least 1 point for any contribution.
- Hydras, cysts, clogs and babbler eggs give no construction score.
So helping build a hive is worth far more than dropping a cyst.
