Badges



Badges are collectibles similar to achievements within the game. They can be earned via completing certain tasks a number of times. Badges can be ranked up after being earned by continuing to meet the completion quota, which increases exponentially with each rank until fully ranked up. There are a total of 43 collectible badges in game, thirty of which are Counselor exclusive, leaving the remaining thirteen to be Jason exclusive. An additional badge is only available to players who complete the Virtual Cabin demo. Aside from being linked to a few achievements, badges serve no purpose outside of 100% completion.

Counselor Badges
Counselors have a total of 30 badges to collect. The badges can be ranked up to Gold from Bronze after earning. Before earning a badge, it is displayed as a darkened version of the Bronze badge which becomes brighter after earning. While in Bronze rank, the Badge appears circular, with a brown circumference and a green background, with the badge's icon in the center. Silver badges appear as a shield shape with a rounded bottom and a section on top with two stars in it. The edge is grey and the background is blue, with the badge's icon displayed within the lower section. The Gold badge appears as a hexagonal shield with a yellow edge and a purple background. The badge icon is displayed in the center beneath three stars.

* - The Hero Badge merely requires the player to be alive and present on the map during the time of killing. Counselors who have been killed or have escaped prior to Jason's killing do not get progress towards the badge.

** - In order to gain progress towards the badge, the fall must be survived.

Jason Badges
Jason has thirteen collectable badges, appropriate to the name of the franchise. His badges do rank up, but follow a less conventional scheme to those of the counselors. As such, for simplicity sake, they will be referred to as Rank 1, 2 and 3. The Rank 1 badge is a dark grey diamond with a lighter grey, segmented border, and the badge icon in the center. The Rank 2 badge is a hexagon with a black border and a red background. The top and bottom of the badge contain a black star each and the badge icon remains in the middle. The Rank 3 badge is a pentagonal shield shape with a red border and a dark grey background. There are three stars in an upper section, while the badge icon sits in the lower section.

Trivia

 * The Chad Face badge is named after a meme that grew from the awkward face Chad makes in the intro of every game. When at 100 fear, Chad is capable of making an even more ridiculous facial expression, likely the inspiration for the badge's requirements.
