RANKED MATCHES



The ranked PvP matches are back with some improvements.

There are five leagues: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Emerald, and Diamond, each one consisting of four levels - from IV (the lowest) to I. A player starts with 800 ranked points (used to be 300 in the first test season) and needs 1,000 points to progress to another level (thus requiring 4,000 points to progress to another league). The rank points scheme has somewhat changed: 100 points for winning and minus 100 points for losing a match. The penalty for leaving a match is minus 200 points. If you are disconnected from a game session, you will have two minutes to get back into the match.

League demotion. What's changed in regard to the previous test season is that after reaching the Gold and higher leagues, you may be demoted to a previous league (demotion worked only for the Diamond League in the first test season). No worries, there's a demotion protection for several lost games in each of the higher leagues.

After reaching Level I of each league, you will receive a special badge and a unique weapon paint as rewards.

For one month, Ranked Matches will be based on the 3vs3 mode comprising three maps: City Hall, Subway, and Ruins. We would like to see how engaging and fun the 3vs3 can be in the ranked compared to the Escort Mode. Pay attention that weapon perks do not work in the Ranked Matches for the purpose of balanced competitive gameplay.

We added the proper visualization of your progression through ranked leagues and levels, including the rewards you receive by reaching each league. Furthermore, the current rank will be displayed on the end-screen of a ranked match as well as next to your player badge in the game lobby and next to your friends and squad members' badges.
