Some are earned through skill, others are earned through dedication or persistence. Some are earned through luck and timing, while others, by shameful means. For example, using a savage Theron or the Kantus show that teamwork is of high value to user. Superstar Cole shows that a player normally strives only for kills to get on top but not necessarily that you work with your team. At the same time, characters with gold armor like the miner or hunter show at least some experience in using all starting weapons.
