Ribbons

Ribbons are one of the four award systems for Battlefield 2142. Unlike the other type of awards for the game, there are multiple Ribbons for the same vehicle/score type/leadership position, each one requiring globally more than the other, gradually requiring more of the player's proficiency on that field (i.e. Distinguished Unit Service Ribbon, Meritious Unit Service Ribbon and Valorous Unit Service Ribbon). The Ribbons given by the Northern Strike expansion pack, instead of XP Points, they gives the player in each rank 1 Unlock Point for the player to choose a unlock of their desire.

Overview
This award is only awarded once for every soldier, like Medals and Badges.

The difficulty of earning varies from Ribbon to Ribbon, going from small achievements with easy requirements with a reward of down to 20 Points, to Ribbons with very challenging requirements and targeted to the most experienced players, having rewards of up to 2000 Points.

Unlike the other awards, some Ribbons require to use specific vehicles of a faction, being on specific factions for a career time and to have played on certain maps, eventually being the type of award with the widest range of requirements for awards in the game.
