How does Ranked Play work in Warzone 2.0?

Warzone Ranked is based on a Skill Rating system that allocates a score based on player performance.

A player’s Skill Rating will place them and their squad in one of eight tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Crimson, Iridescent, and Top 250.

Players can improve their ranking by “winning matches, getting high placements, and earning eliminations”.

The ranking tiers and the required Skill Ratings are detailed in the table below:

Ranking TierSkill Rating
Bronze0–899 SR
Silver900–2,099 SR
Gold2,100–3,599 SR
Platinum3,600–5,399 SR
Diamond5,400–7,499 SR
Crimson7,500–9,999 SR
Iridescent10,000 SR minimum
Top 25010,000+ SR*

*Players with more than 10,000 SR qualify for the Iridescent tier; however, only the highest rated 250 players will enter the Top 250 division. At this level, players will appear on a public leaderboard.

Each Ranked match will require an SR entry fee and adjustments to your rating can be seen at the conclusion of each game and will be dependent on your performance.
