How to fix the 'Rank unavailable' bug in Halo Infinite
The bug in Halo Infinite that doesn't allow a user to see their rank is one of the most problematic bugs that players have run into, and despite seemingly first popping up back in February, 343 Industries are yet to deploy an actual fix. For players looking to play Halo competitively, the ranked mode allows you to do so by taking part in various modes, and gaining XP to increase your overall rank as high as possible. Some known bugs can get in the way of that though, so check out how to fix the rank unavailable bug below.
How to fix the bug
There is no consistent fix for the problem, and despite being around for a while now, 343 Industries are yet to provide an official fix. Sadly, you can only see if the bug is happening by playing a ranked game and seeing it in the player recap screen, so if you run into it, it's best to restart the game as that's been known to fix it.
If it still happens after a restart, the next best thing you can do is wait it out for a few hours, it generally goes itself after a while, but that can potentially take hours. It's frustrating that there is no better way to fix the issue, so we're sorry to anyone who consistently encounters it, but hopefully there's a quicker fix inbound from 343 Industries.
What is the bug?
Click to enlargeThe bug is something that sometimes shows up after players finish up a ranked game, and in the spot where your rank would show up, it just says 'unavailable' and displays an error logo. You can still see your rank on your profile, so it doesn't remove it completely or mean you have lost the rank, but there are some issues that the rank unavailable bug causes.
Winning a game and then getting the rank unavailable bug will stop you from gaining any ranked XP you could have potentially earned, so it's a very frustrating issue to run into after performing really well. On the flip side, if you lose a game and get the bug, you will still lose ranked XP, so players can lose an entire rank without realising.
