What RP Is
Redemption Points (RP) are a second currency earned entirely through PvP — you can’t buy them, trade them, or grind them from vendors. The only way to earn RP is to kill geared players out in the world.
RP sits alongside your Cash balance and is displayed near the Lazarus logo at the top of the screen. Once you have enough, you spend it in the Crates Shop app on your phone to unbox loot cases ranging from basic resources all the way up to top-tier weapons and supplies.
Earning RP
RP rewards real, dangerous fights. The base payout for killing a geared player is 75 RP, plus an additional 25 RP for each kill the victim was on when you took them down — so someone on a three-kill streak pays out 150 RP just on the streak bonus.
The Lazarus Pass reward track also hands out RP directly as you level up. And Skills can push your per-kill returns higher — the Redemption System perk in the Skills app applies a 1.15× multiplier to every RP earn.
What Counts as a Geared Kill
- The victim must be carrying weapons or gear when you kill them. Naked runners, bare-handed survivors, and players still in the fresh-spawn window do not award RP.
- RP is blocked from teammates and friends, and from killing the same player repeatedly in a short window — so farming a single target won’t work.
Lazarus Pass Quests
Several Lazarus Pass quests also reward RP directly. Two notable examples: a quest that pays out 5,000 RP at level 24, and another at level 37 that awards 5,000 RP — and the VIP track has a 2,500 RP schematic at level 14. These are one-time boosts on the reward track, not repeating sources. See Lazarus Pass for the full reward list.
The Crates Shop
Spend your RP at the Crates Shop on your phone — open it with /phone, then press T to free your cursor and tap the Crates Shop app. Each case rolls a weighted loot table — the more RP a case costs, the better its odds of something rare.
There are five purchasable cases. Two additional cases — the Daily Schematic Case (earned after 15 minutes of active playtime) and the $400 Rust Skin Case (a reward-track drop) — appear in the same UI but cannot be bought with RP.
