Respawn has once again rolled out a small but significant change to how the ranked mode works in Apex Legends. That said, it’s worth revisiting the Apex Legends ranked system in 2024.
Respawn regularly tweaks the ranked mode in Apex Legends to keep things exciting and fresh. In Season 20, the developer made major changes to how ranked works in Apex Legends. Now that players have adjusted to those changes, Respawn has revealed a minor new update.Â
Taking to social media, Respawn has announced that ranked parties will now have a limit of a 3-rank tier difference between players. This will minimize boosting and force high-ELO players to compete in a fair rank instead of getting easy match-ups.
Ranked mode in Apex Legends operates on a seasonal basis. At the start of each new season, all players’ ranks are reset, and they must play placement matches to determine their initial rank for the season.
It’s worth noting that each ranked season is divided into two splits, typically lasting around two months each. At the start of the season, your progress will be reset back to 1 RP. However, the split reset is a bit different in that it isn’t a full reset of RP but rather a partial reset. At the end of the first split, players’ ranks are soft reset, and they have to play placement matches again for the second split.Â
In ranked mode, players are matched with others of similar skill levels based on their current rank to ensure fair competition.
These are all the ranks in Apex Legends, along with the RP required to get to the next division. All of these ranks are divided into four tiers. For example, Bronze I, Bronze II, Bronze III, Bronze IV, and so on.Â
Upon reaching Master rank, which comes after Diamond, players can earn the title of Apex Predator, which is awarded to the top 750 players per platform.
RP or Ranked Points are points earned upon winning. It’s also the currency you pay for participating in a ranked game in Apex Legends.
Once you’re Silver IV, the cost to enter matchmaking begins at 20RP. However, you gain it all back once you win. You may climb through each rank by playing ranked mode and earning RP and bonuses. You can gain RP by winning your matches and performing best. Here’s what adds to RP gain in Apex Legends:
You can earn more RP in Apex Legends by maintaining a winning streak. By stringing wins together, the Apex Legends ranked system rewards you with more points. Here’s a precise estimate:Â
