Medals
Medals are another great way to earn experience points in SOCOM 4. You can earn medals in game by accomplishing certain challenges. Each medal and their descriptions are shown in the career menu at the multiplayer menu. There are three levels to each medal. Each tier gives a tougher challenge. For example: combat medal level 1 is awarded for scoring 10 kills and a 1:1 kill/death ratio in a single match, combat medal level 2 is awarded for scoring 15 kills and a 1:1 kill/death ratio in a single match, and combat medal level 2 is awarded for scoring 25 kills and a 1:1 kill/death ratio in a single match. You will be awarded extra experience points at the end of the match after earning these medals. You can earn medals multiple times.
