XDefiant Ranked mode: All ranks, maps, rewards & more

XDefiant Season 1 kicked off the official release of the Ranked Mode, meaning it's time to get serious about how you play and to start competing to climb the ranked leaderboards.

Here's everything you need to know about the mode, such as how it works, the ranks, and the rewards you can earn.

What is Ranked?

Ranked is a competitive 4v4 mode where players are assigned ranks based on their skill and performances, allowing them to climb up or fall down the ladder throughout a season. It's essentially the ultimate test of your skill in XDefiant.

Before being given a rank, you'll need to play placement games where your overall performances determine where exactly you fall. After this, it's about earning Ranked Points (RP) to keep climbing and getting new ranks.

There are seven different ranks to climb through, with six of them featuring 10 individual divisions. These are:

• Bronze
• Silver
• Gold
• Ruby
• Emerald
• Diamond
• Legends

For example, if you start in Silver 1, you will need to earn enough RP to reach the threshold for Silver 2. This process is repeated up to the tenth division, where the next threshold grants you Gold 1.

Legends is the only rank without divisions and is reserved for the very best players in the game.

Matchmaking explained

Ubisoft has also explained the system behind matchmaking for Ranked Mode in a blog post, listing the main factors that determine your finding a match. Here are the factors explained:

• Rank Points (RP) - Only matches within an acceptable rank range
• Latency - Matches with similar ping and connectivity
• Party Size - Matches with squads of a similar size
• Region - Matches with players from the same region or language
• Input Device - Matches with players using the same input method
• Platform - Matches with players using the same platforms

These factors only influence you finding a match. Once the lobby itself is populated with players, you'll be balanced based on your skill ratings to ensure a fair lobby.

All maps & game modes

There are 17 maps and four game modes available to play on, but not all modes are available across every map. You can check them all out below.

All Ranked rewards

Each rank in Ranked Mode gives you a unique reward that's exclusive to this season. Here are the rewards and their corresponding rank.
