Ranked mode will finally be accessible in Call of Duty: Warzone 2 in Season 3's Reloaded update. The developers recently updated the blog dedicated to this title with everything that fans can expect in the upcoming mid-season patch. Along with information on other content, details about the battle royale title's Ranked mode have now been unveiled. This includes the Skill Rating (SR) system, Skill Division, release date, and more.

Call of Duty developers had been teasing Warzone 2's Ranked Play for a while. Although the details concerning this mode that were offered prior to Activision's recent blog update were vague, fans were certain it would arrive in a future patch. Thankfully, it didn't take long for developers to adhere to players' requests. Fans will be able to get their hands on this game mode in the Season 3 Reloaded update.


Everything that Warzone 2 fans need to know about Ranked Play

As its name suggests, the upcoming inclusion will be a highly competitive mode centered around battle royale gameplay. Similar to Modern Warfare 2's Ranked Play, players will be competing with others to gain Skill Ratings (SR) and rank up their Skill Division. Along with sharing what to expect from this inclusion, the developers discussed how the Skill Rating system would work with regard to the Skill Divisions.

Ranked Play will arrive in Warzone 2 in the beta stage. This means the inclusion will likely be a test where players will get to experiment with certain features that it will come with. The final launch of this mode is scheduled for a later Season. In the beta version, players will be able to participate in Ranked Play, earn Skill Ratings, level up their Skill Division, and acquire specific rewards for competing in this mode.

All gamers will begin their journey in the mode with the Bronze Skill Division and rank up based on their Skill Ratings, which one can obtain from Ranked BR matches. Players will find themselves in one of the following Skill Divisions based on their SR:

  • Bronze: 0–899 SR
  • Silver: 900-2,099 SR
  • Gold: 2,100-3,599 SR
  • Platinum: 3,600-5,399 SR
  • Diamond: 5,400-7,499 SR
  • Crimson: 7,500-9,999 SR
  • Iridescent: 10,000 SR minimum
  • Top 250: 10,000+ SR

Skill Ratings are earned on the basis of one's performance in a match. This includes the number of kills, assists, and the position in which they ended the game. To play a Ranked Play match, players will have to put a certain amount of SR on the line, which acts as an entry fee.

After a match has ended, gamers will be able to see how much they got in terms of Skill Ratings for their kills, assists, and place in a game. Those who are able to secure the Top 250 Skill Division will appear on the public leaderboard.


This is all there is to know about Warzone 2's Ranked Play mode at the moment. It is worth noting here that Modern Warfare 2's rank system will be separate from the one set to appear in WZ2. Fans can expect more details about the upcoming inclusion as they get closer to the patch's release date.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 3 Reloaded will go live on May 10, 2023. The patch will be available on PC (via Battle.net and Steam), Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.
