I understand that BEPs are given to all members within a squad for every kill made, but what about CEPs?
If three of four squads team up to capture a base, is the squad that hacked the base the only one to get CEP? Or is it that all squad leaders within the SOI get CEPs as well?
I have searched everywhere I can think of for this but I have been unsuccessful.
What do you think?


A little bit o' the serious post for ya folks.

Good question and I haven't elaborated on it previously. Here goes:
First, you have to be an active squad leader to get CEP at all. Just because you have command rank doesn't help. You have to be actively leading a squad at the time of capture.

The only person that gets CEP in a non-platoon situation (one squad only) is the leader of the squad that has the hacker in it that hacked the console. Sounds a bit like the "House that Jack Built" when I say it that way, but I think you understand.

When in a Platoon, all squad leaders in all squads get the CEP shared (just like normal squad members share BEP) as long as the original hacker is in one of the (up to) three squads in the platoon.

The hacker *can* join a squad after the actual hack has occurred and the squad leader will still get CEP.

Like BEP, no CEP is awarded unless the facility is actually *captured*...not just hacked.

Napalm...I'll have to check on BEP sharing across a platoon. I *believe* that BEP sharing is only across a squad. Only commanders get to share CEP across a platoon. BEP sharing across a platoon would be *very* lucrative in terms of experience and I don't think we wanted to be *that* generous.
But I need to verify that.
