The Bloodhunt Ranked Mode wasn't part of the game's launch back in April, and it currently has no official release date either. The developers did state that the mode would come out "fairly soon after the release," so we can assume it will come sometime during the first season at the latest.

Once we hear news about the mode's release date, we'll update this guide to reflect it. 

• We also have a primer on the Bloodhunt quests, which allow you to complete missions during multiplayer games for extra XP.

The Ranked Mode will function very similarly to the competitive modes of other contemporary titles, pitting you against players with the same skill level and letting you fight it out to earn ranks based on your performances.

It will feature the same rule set as the standard battle royale mode, so you won't need to make massive changes to your gameplay or relearn different aspects. The developers have also stated that they plan on gatekeeping the Ranked Mode to just players who have reached level ten so that they can reduce the amount of cheating that takes place. 

When playing the mode, players will earn Ranked Points (RP) which is based on their kills and overall placement in matches. There is more weight behind kills though, so you are encouraged to really orient your playstyle around dealing death to the other players. Below is a table created by the developers that breaks down the point distribution.

As you continue to gain RP, you'll earn yourself one of six ranks which are displayed next to your in-game avatar. These are Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Obsidian. This rank cannot be lost though, so the challenge will always be to climb even higher, rather than worry about keeping what you have.

Another interesting twist to the Ranked Mode is that there is a match fee that you have to pay from your RP when entering a match. This is free as you begin to play the mode, but as you improve your rank, the match fee increases. Below are the different ranks you can earn, along with the RP you'll need, and the match fee cost.
