As a part of this system, Preliminary Ranked Matches will be held during the Season 4 period.
While preliminary ranked matches are being held, players will receive rank points based on the medals obtained on the results screen after online matches.
Once a certain amount of rank points have been earned, the player will be promoted to a new rank.
There are different ranks for Survivors and Raiders, and each is calculated separately.
*C1 is the starting rank, and Z5 is the highest.
**For Raiders, the rank is applied to all unlocked Raider characters.
Medals obtained on the results screen will award rank points in the amounts shown on the table below.
Details about the rank points required to reach each rank can be found on the following table.
In addition, minus points (base points) will be applied to matches played at rank A1 and higher.
Once a match has ended, players who did not acquire the necessary amount of rank points may have their rank lowered.
