The Merit system is an important aspect of the game as it ensures fair sportsmanship. A player can check out the merit by directly clicking on the profile or if any instance, a player holds low merit points, then it would be displayed in the lobby above the character.

Boost your merit and uphold the purity of the game in BGMI

An increase in merit points highly correlates with the surviving time of a game. In order to improve the merit follow this:
- If you finish between 50 and 100, then you will receive 1 merit point
- If you finish between 11 and 50, then you will receive 2 merit points
- If you make your way to the Top 10, then you will receive 3 merit points
Remember, collecting merit points is a game of patience, so don’t lose it with one single mistake. In the current situation, the game is filled with hackers, but Krafton has recently introduced its new anti-cheat system and revamped merit system. If your merit goes below 75, you cannot play dou and squad and have to bring your merit up in solo play. These reasons can lead to reduction in merit:
- Use Of Abusive Language: Excess use of abusive language would lead to merit point decrease and mute restrictions.
- Usage Of Third-Party Software: Applying cheats and hacks can result in a ban for up to 10 Years
- Griefing Teammates: Killing teammates in the game shows cowardness.
- Exploiting Bugs: Knowing exploiting bugs can result in a ban of 10 Years
- Spreading misleading information: If you are caught spreading illegal information, your account will be temporarily and in rare cases, permanently terminated.
Given the variety of circumstances that may result in merit deductions, players must value fair play and demonstrate sportsmanship while interacting with other BGMI players.
