Introduction
Please note that values below are relative. This is because a complex formula is used when calculating the final multiplier. All options depend on each other (except for the last two), so you will probably see other values in-game. But you can still predict their impact using this guide.
Affecting Options
Options that affect XP multiplier:
  • Mode (Rebound, Marksman, Assassin, Juggernaut, Deathmatch, Points)
  • Map (random or specific)
  • Players (2-8)
  • Wind (None, Low, Med, High)
  • Shot Type (Single, Team, All)
  • Choose Wep Lvl (Yes, No)
  • Mod (None, One Weapon)
Not Affecting Options
These options don't affect XP multiplier at all:
  • Type (Team Battle, Free For All)
  • HP (50-600)
  • Turns (5-30, for Points mode)
  • Friends Only (Yes, No)
  • Turn Time (35, 45, 60)
  • Shot Tracer (On, Off)
  • Items (On, Off)
  • Max Lvl Diff (10, 20, 40, Any)
  • Wager Gears (No, 1, 2, 3)
The only thing Type does is setting Shot Type to All when Free For All is chosen.

Choosing a non-random map will significantly decrease XP multiplier, so unless you really want it, always use Random.

Increasing number of players doesn't give you a huge multiplier boost, so if you can't gather a big party, just set it to a lower value.

Don't just use All shot type in each game. Yes, it makes matches shorter, but look what a nice bonus you'll get if you consider switching to Single.

"Choose Weapon Level" option is just a robbery. It cuts your multiplier in half if enabled, and is it even worth it? Just never set it to Yes (unless strong reasons).

This option is pure gold, giving a one and a half boost to your multiplier. So if you have 2x, you'll get 3x instead. It also stops you from thinking what weapon to choose, how convenient! Really consider using it.
Maximum Multiplier
So the maximum multiplier right now is 4.59x.

You can get it this way:

Choose Wep Lvl
Mod

Single
No

+0.26x
+0.36x
+0.28x
=
+1.53x
4.59x

Be aware that this kind of match will take forever to finish, because of Shot Type: Single.
Most "maximum multiplier" games are played with Team (4.17x) or All (3.76x) instead.

the reason why All/Team shot is better than single is because it makes matches go a lot faster, so while single gives higher multiplier, it's at the cost of match speed and therefore you might get LESS xp for the time spent despite getting MORE per match.

Level Field: The worst thing ever. Cuts XP by half.

Outdated.

I think you should update this thread every couple of months to keep up (relatively) with the game's development. Just a thought as new game modes have come out.

There is one thing that is incorrect according to kChamp himself. He says Low Wind is +.05x XP, Medium +.1x XP, and High +.15x XP.
