To earn points during this stage of the Wasteland Commander event in State of Survival, spend stockpiled progression items across four specific actions: raising Chief Gear ratings, leveling up vehicle components, consuming potent weapon materials, and training or promoting troops.

Holding your upgrade materials until this scoring stage is active ensures every material spent counts toward event milestone chests and leaderboard placement.

The Four Event Scoring Actions

This stage rewards system-specific enhancements rather than general building construction or research. Points are accumulated through four distinct mechanics:

  • Chief Gear Rating: Points are awarded based on net increases in your Chief Gear rating rather than the raw number of crafting items consumed.
  • Vehicle Component Levels: Upgrading component tiers and module levels on march vehicles directly increases your stage score.
  • Potent Weapon Material Consumption: Expending potent weapon parts, refinement materials, and weapon enhancement items converts saved inventory into immediate points.
  • Troop Training and Upgrading: Training new units or promoting lower-tier troops into higher tiers provides a steady source of points.

Chief Gear Upgrades

Chief Gear progression delivers high bursts of points because the stage measures the tactical rating gain from your upgrades. Higher-tier promotions yield substantial score jumps.

  1. Check Stored Plans and Parts: Review your inventory for Chief Gear Materials, Design Plans, and modification parts before starting.
  2. Upgrade Symmetrically: Advance gear pieces evenly across all six equipment slots. Lower-tier upgrades across multiple slots provide cost-effective rating bumps before material costs steepen.
  3. Execute High-Tier Promotions: If you have saved materials for a major quality tier leap, forge it during the event to claim early milestone chests. Reinvest any event crate rewards back into further upgrades.

Vehicle Component Leveling

Upgrading vehicle components feeds event points while improving march capacities and combat statistics.

  • Complete Discrete Level Steps: Ensure you have enough vehicle kits and energy parts to finish full level increments. Partial investments that do not complete a component level step may not award full point value depending on stage rules.
  • Open Component Crates During the Stage: Save vehicle component chests to open while the event is live so newly acquired parts can be spent immediately.
  • Target Lower-Tier Modules First: If materials are limited, leveling low-tier components yields fast points for a lower initial material investment.

Potent Weapon Material Consumption

Expending potent weapon materials gives flat-rate progress that does not depend on base construction timers or march queues.

Resource TypeUpgrade TargetAllocation Approach
Potent Weapon PartsDirect weapon enhancementConsume in batches to reach early milestone reward crates quickly.
Refinement MaterialsCalibration and stat rollsSpend when approaching a specific milestone threshold to close the point gap.
Weapon Experience ItemsBase weapon levelingApply steadily to hit planned point targets without overspending past milestone goals.

Focus your materials on your primary combat armament set rather than spreading resources across secondary loadouts.

Troop Training and Promotion

Troop management provides steady point accumulation to close remaining gaps after gear and weapon materials are spent.

  • Prioritize Promotion Over Raw Training: Upgrading lower-tier troops (such as promoting Tier 9 to Tier 10) takes less time and fewer resources than training new high-tier units from scratch, yielding a better return per minute of speedup consumed.
  • Apply Buffs Before Training: Activate training capacity buffs, combat talents, and alliance territory bonuses before starting large batches.
  • Use Speedups in Increments: Spend training speedups only up to the next milestone chest or secure leaderboard cutoff to avoid wasting speedups outside active events.
