Overview
- Ranked was added in the latest patch and is scheduled to go live this weekend, with the in‑game clock pointing to Saturday at 5 p.m. GMT.
- Bungie released a one‑page Ranked Calculation Worksheet and shared design notes from the game director to clarify how the loot‑value system determines progression.
- Each match sets a target score based on team Holotag values, and players earn rank only by extracting after reaching that gear score; early extraction grants no points and deaths deduct rating.
- Matchmaking splits into Low Stakes and High Stakes based on Loadout Value, with minimum antes of roughly 3,000 Credits and 10,000 Credits respectively.
- Holotags come in six tiers, must be purchased and carried, and extra scoring can come from looting rival Holotags or Tag Chips, while access requires account level 25 and all factions met, with seasonal cosmetics awarded at rank milestones.
