How Operations Work
Operation passes, missions, stars, levels and pins, and the leaderboards, explained.
Operations are limited-time events with their own missions, rewards and leaderboards. Each one runs for a few weeks. While it's on, you work through its missions to earn stars, level up your Operation pin and spend stars on rewards.

Stars, or something else
Each Operation can name its reward points itself, so they won't always be called stars. This page says stars for short; the Operation page shows what they're called this time.
The Operation pass
You need an Operation pass to earn stars. Buy and activate it in game from the !operation menu while the Operation is running. Without a pass you can still look around, but you won't earn stars for your missions.
Missions
Missions are grouped into categories, and you work on one mission at a time. Pick one up in game, complete its goal, then pick up the next.
There's a limit on how many missions you can play each day, shown on the Operation's page. Players with Premium get a higher daily limit on most Operations.
Stars
Completing a mission earns stars. You'll see two totals:
- Stars to spend: spend these on rewards from the Operation's store in game. Spending them doesn't lower your level.
- Stars earned: everything you've earned this Operation. This is what counts for your level and the leaderboard.
If an Operation offers them, you can also buy extra stars from its page on the website.
Levels and your Operation pin
Most Operations have levels, each with its own pin. As you earn stars (or, on some Operations, complete missions) you move up the levels and your pin upgrades. The Operation's page shows every level and what it takes to reach it.
Leaderboards
Each Operation has two leaderboards: one for the most stars earned and one for the most missions completed. Your own place is shown when you're signed in.
