Introduction
Hello there, and welcome to my survivor level XP table!

Originally, I was planning on sticking only with my legend XP table; however, over the years I have seen some questions pop up from time to time specifically asking about the survivor levels. I decided it wouldn't hurt to finish off the XP tables and DROP values tale by covering the survivor levels, sort of like a cherry on top.

To make things easier, I have (very much like my legend XP table) decided to include DROPs (Disaster Relief On-site Packages) in the table, since handing in these packages tends to be the most common way people climb through the survivor levels and legend levels alike.

For those who are interested in a legend levels XP table, I gladly welcome you to view my legend level XP table right here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1261629894

Important Notes
I would like to draw some attention to the value of DROPs regarding the survivor levels. Unlike legend levels, the value of DROPs constantly change depending on your survivor level. The problem with this is that you will GREATLY LOSE OUT ON XP if you hand in DROPs in large portions till the point where you cross over several levels at once. This is why it's very important to hand in DROPs in smaller portions to maximise the amount of XP you'll get. At first glance, it may not seem like a big issue. After all, the difference in value is merely 500 per level. But let's compare one who would hand in all DROPs at once at survivor level 1 to one who would hand in smaller portions to always get the most value for their DROPs. The one handing in everything at once would need 2,000 DROPs (almost a third of what is required to go through all the legend levels!) compared to the one handing in smaller portions of DROPs that would only require about 270 DROPs (almost 7 and half times less). The ball is obviously in your court, but a small portion or a large portion of DROPs can make all the difference in the world.

The XP is by the book, but the DROPs have all been rounded to the nearest singular number due to a lot of decimals when calculating its equivalence.

Unlike legend levels, difficulty does not affect the value of DROPs. The XP gain will be the same in Story Mode as it is in Nightmare mode.
Survivor Level 1-25
Remember to hand in DROPs step by step in smaller portions rather than everything at once!

Jesus, I made this guide in 2021, eh? Fucking time flies fast, mate. Glad people still find it useful, though.

@ZENITH: Nah, you got it right, mate. It's how you would do it and how I did it as well. Just drop them on the ground and only talk to the geezer when you're ready and he'll only take what you're carrying.

I have a question, though.
If you either drop a part of earned DROPs, or put them into the stash (dunno if it's possible), and then give the part of DROPs separately from each other, for ex. I've grinded out 300 DROPs, yeah? I'd def want to get as much survivor xp as possible. So the question is, would the hidden DROPs count as well and get out from the stash in instant after you talk to hq guy?
