Landings and divisions
Similar to other competitive games, such as League of Legends and Overwatch, the PUBG ranked mode also has ranks, called thresholds, each with five divisions, from Division V to Division I. At the beginning of the season players start without ranking rank and need to play five ranking games to be placed on a level. The better your performance in qualifying matches, the better your positioning will be.
Ranked Mode levels are Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Master. It is also important to note that players present at the Diamond level or higher can be punished if they are inactive in the ranking for seven days.
Ranked Mode Rules
Unlike traditional modes, the new PUBG ranked mode has some specific rules. A total of 64 players are placed to confront each other in Erangel, Miramar, or Sanhok, being able to choose to play in the first or third person mode. The mode also aims to make the experience more competitive, making rare items easier to find and increasing the movement speed of the blue zone. Moreover, the red zone, the motor gliders, and the crossbow were removed.

To play Ranked Mode with your friends, players in the squad cannot have more than 10 divisions between them. If this limit is exceeded, it is not possible to play the mode. Also, there will be penalties if a player leaves the game after loading the island. The user who insists on the infraction needs to wait for a probation period that appears on a timer until he can play again.
You can follow the leaderboard, which can be seen by every single player all over the world. In it, the player can see the 500 best players of the current season and the region of choice, always based on the amount of RP ( Ranked Points ) that each has earned until the last update of the table. It is important to highlight that the region of choice for each player should be the same until the end of the competitive season of the ranked players.
Rewards
The new Ranked Mode also rewards players based on their performance. Among the rewards are visuals, nameplates, and emblems exclusive to the ranked modes only. However, to acquire these exclusive items, it is necessary to at least reach the Gold level in Ranked Mode. Keeping in mind that the rewards are delivered at the end of the current competitive season.
