In Apex Legends' ranked mode, players climb through a series of ranks by earning Ranked Points (RP). Points are awarded based on match performance, including your final placement and the number of kills or assists you achieve. The better your performance, the more RP you earn, helping you to move up through the ranks.
Each season is divided into two splits, with ranks being reset between them. During each split, players have the chance to improve their rank or risk being demoted if their performance declines. The matchmaking system aims to pair players of similar skill levels to ensure competitive and balanced gameplay.
At the end of the season, players receive rewards based on their highest achieved rank. These rewards typically include cosmetic items such as badges and weapon charms, reflecting your success and progression in the ranked mode.
