Ranked Play Resurgence is the official competitive Call of Duty: Warzone experience. Players must be at least Level 55 to access this mode. Here are the initial match parameters:

• Party Size: Trios
• Map: Fortune's Keep
• Game Mode: Resurgence
• Public Event restrictions: Yes (Firesale and Restock happen at fixed circles. No other Public Events are available)
• Vehicle restrictions: Yes (e.g., No Turreted Vehicles)
• Restricted gameplay elements: Yes
• Buy Station Inventory Adjustments: Yes

The ranking system used here is very similar to that in Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® III Multiplayer. Learn more about the ranking system.

As before, players progress their Skill Rating (“Rank”) by earning Stars, with up to three Stars being earnable per match. These placement Stars are adjusted for the lower squad count, as follows:

• Place in the Top 8 of Squads: One Star
• Place in the Top 5 of Squads: Two Stars
• Finish 1st: Three Stars

Tuning adjustments have occurred due to the lower squad count and faster Resurgence playstyle, resulting in the following SR rewards:

• Teams Remaining: 14: SR = 0
• Teams Remaining: 10: SR = 15
• Teams Remaining: 8: SR = 30
• Teams Remaining: 6: SR = 45
• Teams Remaining: 5: SR = 60
• Teams Remaining: 4: SR = 80
• Teams Remaining: 3: SR = 100
• Teams Remaining: 2: SR = 125
• Teams Remaining: 1: SR = 150

The Skill Rating (SR) you receive for Kills and Assists has been tuned based on the lower number of teams remaining:

• Teams Remaining: 9+: SR Per Kill/Assist = 5. SR Per Non-Assisted Kill = 2
• Teams Remaining: 8: SR Per Kill/Assist = 7. SR Per Non-Assisted Kill = 3
• Teams Remaining: 3: SR Per Kill/Assist = 15. SR Per Non-Assisted Kill = 7

Deployment Fees remain the same in this version of Ranked Play.

At the beginning of each match, a Deployment Fee is deducted from each player’s Skill Rating (SR) total. The higher the player’s Skill Division and Tier, the higher the Deployment Fee.

Deployment Fees for each Skill Division and Tier:

• Bronze I - III: No Deployment Fee
• Silver I: 10 SR
• Silver II: 14 SR
• Silver III: 18 SR
• Gold I: 23 SR
• Gold II: 28 SR
• Gold III: 33 SR
• Platinum I: 39 SR
• Platinum II: 45 SR
• Platinum III: 51 SR
• Diamond I: 58 SR
• Diamond II: 65 SR
• Diamond III: 72 SR
• Crimson I: 80 SR
• Crimson II: 90 SR
• Crimson III: 100 SR
• Iridescent and Top 250: 110 SR plus 10 SR every 500 SR above 10,000, up to a maximum Deployment Fee of 210 SR

Begin each Ranked Play Season strong, and ensure you rank your way out of early Divisions rapidly by earning bonus SR Rewards for completing Challenges. Visible in the front-end menus, the following Challenges can be completed once per Season:

• First Kill or Assist: +100 SR
• 10 Kills or Assists: +100 SR
• 25 Kills or Assists: +100 SR
• 50 Kills or Assists: +100 SR
• 100 Kills or Assists: +100 SR
• Reach Top 8 Squad: +100 SR
• Reach Top 5 Squad: +100 SR
• Reach Top 3 Squad: +100 SR
• Win a Match: +200 SR

The Seasonal Kill and Placement Challenges you should be familiar with have received an adjustment due to the faster pace and lower squad count of Resurgence. Expect these Ranked Play Challenges (with the rewards detailed):

• Finish in the Top 8, 25 times: “Melted” Large Decal
• Finish in the Top 5, 10 times: “Pro Issue” Striker SMG Blueprint
• Finish 1st: “Popped Off” Charm
• Get 50 Kills or Assists: “WZ Season 2 Competitor” Sticker
• Get 250 Kills or Assists: “WZ Ranked Play Season 2” Loading Screen
• Get 1,000 Kills or Assists: “WZ Season 2 Ranked Veteran” Weapon Camo

Beginning at Silver I, Death Fees become active in matches. They are designed to highlight specific survival by a single player within a squad. A Death Fee deducts a small amount of SR each time you die in a match. Resurgence allows for multiple deaths per match, but a skilled Ranked Player’s focus on each match should be to place high, with high kills and low deaths.

Protect your life and play to win in Ranked Play Resurgence! Note you cannot lose more SR than your match Deployment Fee:

• Example 1: A Player has a –100 Deployment Fee and a –15 Death Fee. They are at –100 (as they haven’t scored any Kills or Assists yet) and die. No Death Fee is deducted.
• Example 2: A Player has a –100 Deployment Fee and a –15 Death Fee. They are currently at –90 SR (as they’ve added +10 to their points), but then they die. A Death Fee is applied but only a portion; they lose –10 SR and are back at their starting Deployment Fee.

Players will not be redeployed if they become disconnected but will remain in the match. Additionally, at least three squads must remain in a match for a disconnected player to rejoin. Matches can be canceled during the pre-lobby once the player count drops below 13 squads.

Earn up to three Rank Stars per match, with unlocks at every five Ranks, including the following:

• Rank 5: Calling Card and “Sweat Buggy” Vehicle Skin.
