Recently, the developers of the online shooter Splitgate 2 added the long-awaited ranked mode to the game. They made several changes to the competitive system from the first installment. In this guide, we’ll talk about the new ranked arenas and their features.
How to Unlock Ranked Arena
To unlock the ability to play ranked matches, you need to earn 100,000 experience points. Win in different modes, get plenty of kills, and complete challenges — this will help you accumulate the required amount of points faster.
Which Modes Are Available in Ranked
Currently, only three modes are available in ranked arenas: Hot Zone, Firecracker, and Splitball. More modes are expected to be added in future updates. It’s still unknown whether a similar ranked mode will be introduced not only for arenas but also for battle royale.
Do You Need to Play Placement Matches
You don’t need to play placement matches to be assigned an initial division. This time, all players start from the lowest rank.
What Ranks Exist
The developers have added seven consecutive leagues: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Battle, and Champion. The first six each have five tiers, while the last is the final division. The top 100 players with the most points enter a separate leaderboard and can display their position on their banner. Note that you can both gain and lose ranked points. Stay alert, as it’s easier to lose and drop in rank than it is to climb higher.
How to Increase Your Rank
Naturally, the main factor in point calculation is victory or defeat. Kills and achievements are also taken into account. Try to use all the unique game mechanics effectively, including portals: combine unusual tactics and try to catch your opponents off guard.
What Rewards Will You Get
At the end of each ranked season, you’ll receive a charm and banners styled after your highest rank achieved during the allotted period.
