Vanguard Ranked Play revealed: ELO system, Skill Divisions, Beta release date

Call of Duty: Vanguard’s Ranked Play has finally been revealed with some classic features like an ELO system, Skill Divisions, rewards, and more all on the way. Here’s a full rundown on everything there is to know.

It took over three months since Vanguard’s release, but a highly anticipated Ranked mode is finally coming to the FPS. This will give everyone the chance to play the CDL ruleset and compete to be the best in the world.

Players have been asking for quite some time and requesting that certain features from Black Ops 2 and WW2 are implemented into the competitive playlist.

Good news for those who remained hopeful, Treyarch, who are in charge of developing ranked, have listened and are bringing back the ELO system, Skill Divisions, rewards, and more. Let’s take a look at everything to know about Vanguard’s competitive ladder.

Vanguard Ranked Play Beta release date

CoD Vanguard’s Ranked Play Beta was originally set to launch on Thursday, February 15. However, just hours out from its release, Treyarch announced the mode was delayed.

A critical “stat-breaking issue” appeared late into testing, forcing the devs to postpone its launch. With Ranked now delayed in Vanguard, no updated release window has been established.

“Resolving this is a top priority and we’ll have an update on timing ASAP,” Treyarch assured.

There are seven Skill Divisions with five tiers within each. To earn your placement, you must play five matches and the results will determine where you rank.

Ranked will use the popular ELO system to evaluate players and separate them accordingly. So, after you do those placement matches you will be able to see your exact Skill Rating (SR).
