There are a variety of modules, each of which have their own pros and cons. For example, at rank 44 an [[Overcharged Beam Laser]] for [[/Eagle Loadouts/]] is unlocked, which works like a [[Beam Laser]] but has higher damage at the cost of an increase in heat gain. | [[File:Elite-CQC-Condor.jpg|thumb|200px|The Condor in CQC]] | ||

After reaching max rank 50, a player is able to reset their ranks back to rank 1 and lose all unlocks in order to get one Prestige ranking. This Prestige rank increases the amount of [[credits]] one earns after each match and the player receives an icon next to their name in both CQC Championship and in the main game mode. Gaining a Prestige rank gives the player a permit to [[Attilius Orbital]] starport in [[CD-43 11917]]. <ref name=":1" /> | After reaching max rank 50, a player is able to reset their ranks back to rank 1 and lose all unlocks in order to get one Prestige ranking.
