You climb 31 ranks in CyberTankz, from Recruit to Legend. Ranks are earned by scoring experience in battle — damage, kills and objective play all count. Each new rank pays a crystal bonus and, more importantly, gates which equipment you are allowed to buy.

Unlocks are the first rank at which each item or modification becomes purchasable. You still need the crystals.
Do not rush rank. Experience comes from playing well, but crystals come from playing a lot — out-ranking your wallet leaves you in battles against tanks you cannot yet afford to match.
