Veteran Mode is essentially a way to start the MAG experience over
again without losing your accomplishments. While Veteran Mode does
reboot your character to Level 1, you won’t lose any of your
already-earned medals, ribbons or statistics when making the move.
Plus, despite the experience counter for your new character resetting
to zero on the Rank screen where you level up, your lifetime XP
continues to be tracked on the Stats page of your Barracks (unless you
completely delete a character, then all stats go away completely and
you have to start again).

Why is Veteran Mode useful? For one, it allows you to switch PMCs to
help you earn the gold trophies for reaching Level 60 with each faction
(it’s optional, though, and you can still activate Veteran Mode and
stay with the same PMC if you want). Another benefit is that you’ll get
a permanent 10% XP bonus with every match – ensuring that you’ll level
up quicker on your way to your next level cap. Veterans can be
identified on the player screen by the gold insignia under the rank on
their player profile card – with a number representing how many times
you’ve become a veteran.

And there you have it – an explanation of what Veteran mode is and
how it works. One thing to remember, though, your experience bonus is
applied after the completion of a match – where’s tacked on to your
total experience for the round – should you quit the game before its
completion the bonus experience will not be awarded.
