Ranked is a competitive gamemode that was added in the November 5, 2021 update. It allows players to play against other players to climb the ladder.
Joining[]
Players can join a ranked match by interacting with the armored NPC as shown on the right. However, there are restrictions set in place to prevent as many exploiters or boosting services as possible for a fair match.
Restrictions[]
In Ranked, there are a few restrictions in place in order to prevent players from gaining an unfair advantage and placing themselves in a higher rank unjustly.
Match Requirements[]
If a team only has 3 or fewer players on it before the start of a match, the match will be cancelled.
Exploiting[]
As a countermeasure to limit exploiters, ranked matches are only accessible by player accounts that meet ONE or more of the following requirements:
- Account age of 7 days and having player level 20 or more.
- Play a ranked match before the first requirement was implemented.
If an exploiter is caught and banned from a ranked match, there are two scenarios that can happen:
- If the exploiter is banned during the match, the game will be automatically cancelled.
- If the exploiter is banned after the match, no RP will be refunded to people who lost the game, and the match will not be cancelled.
Boosting[]
As a countermeasure to limit people from boosting lower ranks, people in certain ranks can only queue with players in their rank requirements. If a player is not within the rank requirements, their party will not be queued.
- Players who are unranked and playing in placement games can play against and with Bronze - Gold ranked players.
- Gold ranked players can play against and with any players up until and including Platinum ranked players.
- Platinum ranked players can play against and with Gold - Diamond ranked players.
- Diamond ranked players can play against and with Platinum - Nightmare ranked players.
- Emerald ranked players can play against and with Diamond - Nightmare ranked players.
- Nightmare ranked players can play against and with Diamond - Nightmare ranked players.
Smurfing[]
Smurfing is intentionally playing in lower ranked matches while you are a higher ranked player (usually done on an alternate account) for any reason. Smurfing by itself is highly frowned upon but completely legal, but boosting by playing with a smurf is punished by resetting the boosted player's rank (the smurf will keep their rank).
Queue Dodging[]
If you have found a match, and leave before you can get loaded into the match, you will get a warning to not do the same incident again. If you do this enough times, you will start to get timeouts from playing in ranked.
Objective[]
5v5[]
Players are set in a 5v5 setting. Their goal is to eliminate the opposing enemy team. There are two teams: Orange and Blue. Items that are available for a limited time are disabled. The match will end and disable RP gain if the match does not meet enough player count.
Squads[]
Similar to the Squads gamemode, players in teams of 4 had to break the beds and kill all opposing players to win. The Squads version of ranked has since then been removed in response to community feedback.
Rank Progressing[]
There are 7 ranks to progress: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Emerald and Nightmare, with subdivisions for each rank up to 4 (I.e. Bronze 1, Bronze 2 ). However, diamond rank has only 3 subdivisions, while emerald and nightmare ranks only have 1. Players without a rank must play 5 matches to determine their starting rank, which can be as low as Bronze 1 and as high as Gold 4.
After that, they can increase their rank by playing ranked matches. Winning grants 8-25 RP (13 RP only when at Platinum 3 and above), while losing the game will remove 5-25 RP depending on unknown factors. It takes 100 RP to progress to the next subdivision of your rank (I.e. Gold 2 -> Gold 3).
The factors that affect your RP change gain or loss is unknown, and whether you win or lose makes you gain and lose RP, respectively.
To obtain the final rank, you have to be in the top 200 of players in the whole world and have a 101+ RP in emerald. If you are automatically in the top 200, then by winning a single ranked match that allows your RP in the emerald rank to rise to 101+, you will officially have the final rank.
At the end of each season, starting at Season 4 in the March 25, 2022 update, every player's rank will be reset and they will be granted rewards that correspond to their rank.
Rewards[]
Each ranked season, players will be given a title corresponding to their rank from that season. Players who are currently top 200 on the leaderboard will be given an exclusive emote which will be, removed once they are no longer top 200 on rank leaderboard. As of September 23, 2022, each division will be given a kit skin based on their respective placement they earned throughout the ranked season starting from Gold. Nightmare ranks gain an exclusive emote as well.
