Apex Legends is getting a ranked Arena mode - here's how it'll work - Gamesradar

Respawn gets into the nitty-gritty about Apex Legends' upcoming ranked Arena mode.

Apex Legends is getting a ranked Arena mode next season, and Respawn has explained in detail exactly how it'll work.

Game director Chad Grenier announced the new ranked queue a couple of weeks back at EA Play's Future of FPS panel, later saying that it'll have "a bit of a different ranked system than we have in the battle royale mode." With a newly published blog post from EA and Respawn, we now have the full details about Arena's new ranked system.

The way ranked Arenas work is distinct from the system used in Apex Legends' classic battle royale mode in a few ways.

While you'll rank through the usual tiers - Bronze, Silver, Gold, etc., just like the battle royale mode - the ranked Arena mode will have a separate rating system specifically for matchmaking that won't be visible to any player, including you.

Another difference from ranked battle royale mode is that ranked Arenas won't have a mid-season split, allowing you to work on your rank all season long!

Respawn says it's considering adding Ranked arenas splits in future seasons, but for now, you'll get your rewards and your rank will reset at the end of the season, after which you'll start off in placement matches again.
