Battle Royale Ranked Play in Call of Duty: Warzone

An overview of the Warzone Battle Royale Ranked Play system and how to earn Ranked Play rewards

Ranked Play returns to Call of Duty®: Warzone™ with the arrival of Battle Royale Ranked Play. Compete for placement and exclusive rewards in Battle Royale (BR) Ranked Play, deploying to Urzikstan using a competitive ruleset including new innovations and updates for the best possible experience.

Warzone Battle Royale Ranked Play Rank Skins

1. How do I access BR Ranked Play?

To access BR Ranked Play, players must first place in the Top 15 in Battle Royale or the Top 6 in Resurgence across a total of 30 matches. Placements from Season 01 count toward this requirement.

2. How does the ranking system work?

The 1-50 Rank and Skill Division system seen in previous versions of BR Ranked Play have been combined into a single Rank, representing what was previously your Skill Division and Tier. Earn Skill Rating (SR) and progress through 8 Ranks:

  • Bronze
  • Silver
  • Gold
  • Platinum
  • Diamond
  • Crimson
  • Iridescent
  • Top 250.

3. What are the changes to Skill Rating (SR)?

Progress through Ranks by earning SR in each match. New this year, SR is earned from your placement and your personal elimination performance. The amount of SR earned from an elimination is now determined by your rank in relation to your opponent. This means more SR for killing higher ranked players, and less SR for killing those below you.

4. How do squads work?

Full squads can party together without restrictions. Matchmaking will be based on the highest ranked player in the squad. 

5. How does End-of-Season SR Setback work?

The End-of-Season SR Setback has been adjusted in BR Ranked Play to reduce the impact felt by players early in their Rank journey. Every new season, your Rank may be reset based on where you ended the previous season, as follows:

  • Bronze or Silver Ranked players are not impacted by the Seasonal setback and will be able to pick up where they ended each Season with no SR deduction.
  • Gold or Platinum players will start the next Season in Tier I of Gold or Platinum respectively.
  • Diamond and above players will start the next Season at Diamond I.

6. What is Loss Forgiveness?

No matter what your Rank, each player’s first loss of the day will be forgiven and not deduct SR. This does not stack. Additionally, the three games of Loss Forgiveness that are granted when you’re promoted to a new Rank or at the start of the season now only count down after Losses.

7. What rewards can I earn by playing BR Ranked Play?

BR Ranked Play features a variety of unique rewards players can earn to show off their skill and engagement with the mode, including new Operator Skins, Calling Cards, Decals, Emblems, plus a Loading Screen and Sticker:

  • Rank Rewards: Reach Gold Rank or higher to earn special Rank Rewards that are awarded the moment you’re promoted into the Rank instead of at the end of the Season.
  • Win Challenges: Reach Career Win milestones over the course of your Ranked Play career to earn rewards including the base Ranked Operator Skin, Call of Duty: Warzone-themed Weapon Camo, and the “Whisper” Combat Knife Blueprint. These can be completed across multiple seasons.
  • Top 250 Competitor and Top 250 Champion Skin (#1 Overall): Climb to the Top 250 BR Ranked Play leaderboard to earn the “Top Competitor” Operator Skin (Home and Away). The #1 overall player for the season will get the sole privilege of equipping the “Top 250 Champion” Operator Skin.
  • Seasonal Rewards: Each BR Ranked Play Season introduces new Seasonal Rank Rewards to earn. These are only available to be earned during that specific Season. Like the Rank Skins, Seasonal Rank Rewards are awarded as soon as the player is promoted into each Rank instead of at the end of the Season.
