Experience Points or simply XP is a way of "leveling up" in InFamous.
Gaining
Experience points can easily be gained by completing mission, side missions, defeating enemies, doing stunts and collecting Blast Shards.
- Story mission- 500XP
- Side mission- 100XP
- Collecting Blast Shard- 5XP
- Destroying Mines- 3XP
Stunts and defeating enemies reward you with different amounts of experience depending on what stunt or enemy is. For example a Reaper offers less than a Dust Men, but First Sons offer more than all of them. Conduits offer even more experience because they are harder to kill.
Uses
The only use for experience points is to upgrade your powers in the Powers section of the pause menu. Depending on the rank of the power, it will cost more or less. Once all powers have been fully upgraded, you still earn XP, but it no longer has any uses.
Notes
- Difficulty has an affect on the amount gained. At Easy you will get more experience than on Hard or Medium.
