Apex Legends Ladder Points: Bonuses
Click to enlargeWhat separates Ladder Points from the Ranked Points of old are bonuses. As of Apex Legends Season 17: Arsenal, Ranked Mode features three different groups of bonuses tied to your placement results and how challenging your hidden Matchmaking Rating (MMR) determines a particular match to be. To qualify for bonuses, you must place between 1st-10th.
Below are the Ladder Point bonuses you can bank:
- Elimination Bonuses: Awarded for eliminating enemy players. This bonus takes into account your personal kills, assists, and participation.
- Rating Bonuses: If your hidden MMR is far higher than your Ladder Points, you will receive a Rating Bonus to help better align the two ratings.
- Skill Bonuses: Unfortunately, Ranked Mode matches aren't always balanced. If your squad defeats stronger opponents or performs unexpectedly well in a disadvantageous match, you will receive a Skill Bonus.
Placing highly is necessary to earning Ladder Points, but if you can qualify for bonuses too, you'll fly up the ranks!
