With the launch of Call of Duty: Vanguard Season 2, Ranked Play has been added to the game. Currently in its beta form, the competitive mode will be continuously improved throughout the life cycle of Call of Duty: Vanguard.

Call of Duty: Vanguard’s Ranked Play works much like one would expect a competitive system to function. After going through a group of placement matches to determine their base skill rating, players move through skill divisions with the goal of being ranked higher by performing well individually and winning more matches than they lose.

Seasonal rewards will also be available, and the playlists that the mode uses follow the standard Call of Duty League rules.
