Ranked Play

Ranked Play is a feature in Hardware: Rivals. The feature was added to the game in Update 1.10 on February 26th, 2016.

Overview
Ranked Play is a competitive gameplay feature available to all players of all levels. Ranked Play allows players to unlock exclusive rewards by reaching higher ranks throughout a single season. Players rank up by scoring kills and winning matches. Not to mention, killing a player of the higher rank also speeds up the rank progress, at the expense of the aforementioned player.

As one reaches the higher ranks, the requirement for the next rank will increase, but there will also be a risk of demotion in case one dies too many times after reaching the rank of Sergeant. Progress towards the next rank is tracked with a number of stars under the rank insignia. At the first three ranks, three stars are required to rank up; at the middle three, four stars; and at the final three, five stars, though the player cannot go beyond the rank of General.

The rewards players can earn from Ranked Play include a rare vehicle skin at the rank of Sergeant and a rare vehicle add-on at the rank of Major. The rewards earned from a single Ranked Play season are available to one particular vehicle, and can only be acquired in that particular season.

Ranked Play is organized in seasons, which typically last for one month. Every month, a new season begins with new rewards, and all players' ranks will be reset to Recruit.
