PUBG is a great Battle Royale game for serious and casual play, but the Ranked Mode is the main attraction for a lot of players. It is by using the ranks in-game that you can get a real measure of your skill, and make sure you’re playing with others of a similar level to you.
Climbing up the ranks can be a lot more rewarding than just progressing through public matches. The PUBG rank system can be a bit hard to explain though. So much about it is done behind closed doors, leaving the player a little unsure of how exactly they can increase their rank, or why their rank is at the level it is.
While climbing PUBG Ranks is bit more difficult than the CSGO ranks or Valorant ranks, in terms of both investment of time and effort, you can still get a decent rank even without absolutely owning very lobby you enter. This guide covers the PUBG ranked system, explaining how it works, what determines what tier you are in the PUBG rank system, what you can do to improve it.
Let’s go over some basic ways you can increase your PUBG rank with ease.
Each new season in PUBG provides something of a soft reset to its rank system. This gives you a fresh chance to place higher in the ranked mode. At the outset, you’ll be able to play 10 different games. The outcomes of these games are going to determine what rank you’re starting in for the season. This is the PUBG Ranks order you can be placed in:
Each rank is divided into 5 divisions going up in descending order from 5 to 1. As soon as you get over the point mark you will advance to the division 5 of the next rank.
As you can probably see, the ranked system has lower amounts of points between ranks than in other games. This is because you can lose points just as easily as gaining them. This makes gradually increasing them more difficult and keeps the ranks difficult to progress through even when only 100 points are needed to climb.
While you can expect to gain half a rank from a single chicken dinner in lower ranks, the points gained gradually decreases as you increase in rank.
PUBG doesn’t have one big pool for ranked players with a score that is attached to your entire account. The Ranked system is divided up by your game mode. You will have a separate score for different game modes. So playing in first or third person will mean you’ll be playing in a different ranked mode and your points or score won’t be affected in others.
Further more different squad sizes have different ranked ladders as well. In all, this means the ranked system in PUBG is quite nicely divided up with a lot of different areas for you to be competing in.
Finally, different regions have different ranked queues enabled, based on what PUBG Corp. has deemed is of player interest. The ranked availability per region is broken down as follows:
There are several surefire ways to get the PUBG rank you desire. While you cant expect to get Master or Diamond in your first go around, Platinum is fairly easily achievable if you follow these 5 simple pointers.
In order to improve in PUBG, you shouldn’t just keep jumping onto a map and improve by failing. Matches take awhile to finish and just playing the game will have a slow curve for you to quickly improve. Instead, we propose watching official PUBG Esports streams to learn about positioning, rotations and how the navigate the map in the most efficient way.
Furthermore, PUBG streamers like Wackyjacky101 and TGLTN provide great insight on their streams and Youtube clips for you to get some clear ways to improve inside the game. The best PUBG players also regularly stream their public matches, providing a good way of learning how different players approach different situations on the map.
Finally, the Shooting Range and Team Deathmatch are both great ways to improve your gun skill and get used to weapon spray recoils and bullet travel times.
If you get a lot of kills or survive to be the last one standing in a game filled with people of your skill level, your PUBG rank will increase. You will have showed that you’re now better than these players. Equally, if you have a bad game it will drop. You will have shown you’re not as good as other players of your level so you’ll fall down in rank. This is the obvious part.
The not so obvious part is that PUBG tries to match you with players of your skill level regardless of rank, meaning higher KDA low ranked players may end up in a lobby with high ranked players. This is further heightened by the lowering amount of Ranked players in PUBG, resulting in the system mismatching players to fill out a game lobby.
The main way to ensure you are matched with players at your level while also advancing is to consistently place among the final survivors regardless of your kill count.
These are some surefire ways to increase your rank in PUBG Ranking system. The game’s rank system is simpler than in a lot of first-person shooters, but also a bit grindier to get. As long as you have a good survival record you are guaranteed to advance in the PUBG Rank system and earn those sweet end of season rewards.
