Ranked Play is finally live in Black Ops 6 allowing users to compete to achieve the highest rank possible. This competitive ladder offers matches with the CDL competitive rules and map set, mimicking the highest level of competition.
The mode offers exclusive rewards as incentives to players for grinding and climbing. Here is everything you need to know about the mode before jumping in.
How to unlock Ranked Play?
If Ranked Play is blocked for you, that means you haven't met the one requirement to be able to play it. Players need to have 50 wins in multiplayer matches before being able to access this mode.
This new requirement was implemented this year, substituting the reach level 55 requirement seen last year with Modern Warfare 3.
Ranks
Just like in previous years, Ranked Play features eight ranks for players to place in. Here is the list of ranks along with the SR range for each one:
- Bronze – Starting Rank
- Silver – 900 SR
- Gold – 2,100 SR
- Platinum – 3,600 SR
- Diamond – 5,400 SR
- Crimson – 7,500 SR
- Iridescent – 10,000 SR
- Top 250 – 10,000+ SR
Each tier except for Iridescent and Top 250 has three tiers (Tier I, Tier II, and Tier III) and you progress through them in ascendant order as you gain SR.
At the start of every season, your rank can be affected depending on the rank you ended the previous one. Bronze and Silver players won't receive any changes and remain in the same rank.
Gold and Platinum players will start on Tier I of their respective rank. Lastly, players from Diamond or above will start the new season at Diamond Tier I.
Rewards
The mode will have career rewards, which you can earn by completing a certain milestone or reaching a rank, and seasonal rewards, which change every season.
The following graphic posted by Treyarch on their X account (formerly Twitter) showcases the Ranked Play seasonal rewards for Season 1 along with the career rewards:
