Ranked Battle Royale Quads launches alongside Season 3 of Battlefield REDSEC, giving a shot of adrenaline to squads ready to prove their supremacy in an all-out fight for survival. With a dedicated Progression system, rewards and Leaderboards, this is the start of our community-led journey for competitive Battlefield.
RANKED BATTLE ROYALE: THE BASICS
Just like a standard Battle Royale Quads, Ranked Battle Royale pits 25 squads against each other until one squad remains. While we gather feedback from the community, the core Battle Royale experience is the same; choose a Class, drop in with a Sidearm, loot better weapons, and outlast the competition with the help of Missions, Vehicles, Custom Weapon Drops, and a deadly circle that kills on impact.
What defines Ranked are the systems that make it into a competitive experience: a Career Rank Gate, a dedicated Rank and Division system, exclusive rewards like Weapon Camos and Player Profile items, and Leaderboards.
First, you must be at least Career Rank 5 to join Ranked Battle Royale in its inaugural season. This is not only for new players to learn how to play REDSEC in less competitive modes, but also to prevent extremely fresh accounts from entering the mode.
After gaining access to Ranked Battle Royale, you will have a separate Rank - e.g. Bronze, Silver, Gold - and Division - five tiers within ranks, such as Bronze I or Bronze III - that correspond to your performance across Ranked Battle Royale Quads during a season. Increase your Division and Rank by earning Rank Points, accumulated through placements, kills, and assists.
CLIMB THE RANKS - PROGRESSION EXPLAINED
Ranked Points are determined by a formula based on your placement, kills, and assists in a match. Earn enough Ranked Points to get promoted to the next Division and Rank.
Each Ranked Match also costs a specific amount of Ranked Points to play as an Entry Cost; the amount of Ranked Points is determined on your Division and Rank.
THE SPOILS OF RANKED - LEADERBOARDS AND REWARDS
At launch, Ranked Battle Royale will have its own dedicated Leaderboard, accessible through the Ranked Hub on your “Profile” (the last tab on the game’s main menu). This is where you cannot only see the Top 250 Ranked players, but also your own personal Ranked Points accumulated, Ranked Wins, and RP/Match ratio. The “Profile” is also where you can also access information about your Ranked Play progression, rules, and all Ranked rewards.
Ranked Battle Royale will include two sets of rewards, one for reaching a specific rank and division for the first time, and another at the end of the season. By design, we want everyone who plays Battle Royale to try the competitive experience, so the lower ranks - Rookie, Bronze, and Silver - have XP Boosts for you to use however you may spend them across Battlefield.
