TeleArms uses two separate scoring systems to track your performance: Lifetime Score and Player ELO Rating. Understanding both will help you maximize your rewards and improve your gameplay.
1. Lifetime Score
Your Lifetime Score is the total points you've accumulated across all your successful missions. It only goes up — failed missions earn zero points but will never reduce your Lifetime Score.
Points = Mission Difficulty × Speed Bonus
Mission Difficulty - Missions are automatically rated based on how many players succeed or fail, so Mission Levels are actively changing. Harder missions are worth more points.
Mission levels go from Level 1 to 10:
Level 1 = Easiest
Level 10 = Hardest
This means the higher the level, the harder the mission and the more points you can earn.
Speed Bonus - Your completion time is compared to the top 3 fastest players on that mission.
Matching their speed = full points
Being much slower = up to 40% deduction
Example:
| Player A | Player B |
Completion time | 5s (near record) | 25s (much slower) |
Mission Difficulty | 15.08 | 15.08 |
Speed Bonus | 0.94 | 0.60 |
Points earned | 14.2 pts | 9.0 pts |
Same mission — Player A earns 58% more just for being faster!
💡 Tip: There is no maximum score cap per mission. The score depends on how well you perform. Beat harder missions and get more points!
2. Player ELO Rating
Your Player ELO Rating measures your skill level, which is separate from your Lifetime Score. Think of it like a chess rating where every mission is a match between you and the mission itself.
Everyone starts at 1500 ELO
Succeed on a mission → ELO goes up
Fail a mission → ELO goes down
Harder mission success = bigger ELO gain
Failing easy missions = bigger ELO drop
Speed matters, so finishing faster gives a stronger win and bigger ELO gain
First ~15 missions move your ELO quickly, then it stabilizes
ELO is currently for skill rating only it does not affect your ranking or rewards
Future plans include using ELO for matchmaking, skill tiers, and gating harder missions
Key Differences
| Player ELO | Lifetime Score |
Measures | Current skill level | Total contribution over time |
Can it go down? | Yes — failing drops it | No — only goes up |
Playing more helps? | Only if you keep winning | Always — every success adds points |
What happens if the bot malfunctions?
If the bot malfunctions and you have to quit:
Your Lifetime Score is NOT affected
Your ELO takes a small hit, but since ELO is currently for skill rating only, it won't impact your ranking or rewards
