Notice the skill boxes on the bottom

Skills are generally gained by earning rank points, which are rewarded when players:

  • Kill other players
  • Destroy enemy structures
  • Destroy enemy vehicles
  • Repair 100 units worth of structures or players (excluding your own structures)
  • Revive a dead teammate (using the Engineer's class-specific "Revive" skill)
  • Command
  • Participate in Squads

For each rank, the number of skill points needed to progress to the next rank increases. Once you gain enough skill points to advance to the next rank, a new skill slot is opened in the class selection dialogue.
