Generally speaking, getting to Gold shouldn’t be too difficult if you have the time to improve on some of the basic skills and keep winning more RP than you’re losing. Diamond and above players make up only 2.3% of the player base, i.e., roughly one in 16 players are in those ranks. Players can safely leave the game if 150 seconds pass after teammates have picked up their banner but haven’t respawned them or if their banner timer runs out.Ībandoning the game also forfeits any RP you would’ve gained for that match.Īccording to season 10 statistics, 45.1% of players are in Silver and Bronze, another 35.7% in Gold, and 16.8% are in Platinum. The penalty starts at 10 minutes for the first infraction and increases for subsequent abandons in a short span. To that end, abandoning the game while your teammates still have a chance to revive you will lock you out of playing any game queue. Unlike regular games, the ranked queue puts heavy emphasis on players staying until the last possible moment. The RP gains mean that the match winner will receive up to 250 RP if they score at least six takedowns during the match, reduced by the entry cost of their current tier.ĭue to the increasing RP costs of joining the match and progressively higher requirements for reaching higher divisions and tiers, players near the top of the ladder need to have a high kill/death ratio and survive long in their matches if they want to climb through the tiers. All RP gains are calculated after the game ends for your team. The amount players receive per kill is based on their team standing at the end of the match, from 10 RP if you’re below 10 th place up to 25 for winning. Each kill or assist will give you RP, up to a cap of six takedowns per match. Crypto can also get assists by locating enemies with his drone. Dealing damage to an opponent that someone else kills, at most 10 seconds later, counts as an assist. All you have to do is land the final shot on an opponent that takes them down. The other way to earn RP is to get kills or assists. The maximum RP amount gained this way is 100 if you’re the match winner. The closer you get to the top standing the more RP you gain. The first is to be one of the top 13 teams standing. Players can get RP in the game in two ways. Apex Predators players can also lose their status if they stop being in the top 750, according to their RP. Players can drop divisions if they lose enough RP to go below the division cutoff. That effectively means that if you reach Platinum, for example, in ranked split, you can’t drop down to Gold for that split. This RP loss can’t force you to go down a tier. For all other tiers, the amount of RP lost at the beginning of the match is as follows: Players in Bronze don’t lose any RP for playing the game, allowing them to rank up with enough games played, slowly.
Whenever you start a match, you lose some RP based on your current tier. That means that Platinum players can only play with Diamond and Gold players in the ranked queue. When queuing together, players above Platinum can’t queue with players two tiers below them. For parties, the highest tier achieved is considered for placing the party. Players are typically matched with opponents in the same rank. Apex Predator: top 750 players with over 10 000 RP.Here is the RP requirement for division IV of each tier (or Master): Apex Predator is a specific tier, counting only the top 750 players per platform. The first five tiers have four divisions each, with division four being the lowest in each tier.
There are a total of seven tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, and Apex Predator. However, that’s where the similarities end.Īll players are sorted into tiers in the ranked queue based on their acquired RP (ranked points). You can queue up by yourself or up to two other players in a party and play on a map against 19 other teams (typically). The overall gameplay of Ranked matches doesn’t differ much from standard Trios game mode. If you think you’re ready to play Ranked in Apex Legends, here is the breakdown of what you need to know to get started.
