Season 2 is hardly a day away but we have just received some interesting news from Activision; Warzone Resurgence is getting a ranked mode. We’re here to dive into this new mode and understand its ranked system so you can hit the ground running on February 7th.
Warzone Resurgence Ranked Explained
Season 2’s release will see plenty of content hit MW3 and Warzone but one of the massive changes is the inclusion of a Ranked playlist of Resurgence. This new mode will take place on Fortune’s Keep exclusively, so those wanting to prove their mettle should jump into the revamped map and discover its secrets before the ranked grind.
To play in this mode there are certain parameters that must be met and accepted to queue:
- Player Level: 55+
- Party Size: Trios
- Map: Fortune’s Keep
- Public Events: Restricted (Firesale and Restock happen at Fixed circles.)
- Vehicles: Restricted (No turreted vehicles.)
With these restrictions and changes, Activision hopes to foster a less random environment where players don’t feel they were robbed due to RNG.
Resurgence Ranked Divisions
Similar to all the other ranked modes in Call of Duty there are a selection of divisions that shows your rank against other players. These divisions are split accordingly:
- Bronze: 0 – 899 SR
- Silver: 900 – 2,099 SR
- Gold: 2,100 – 3,599 SR
- Platinum: 3,600 – 5,399 SR
- Diamond: 5,400 – 7,499 SR
- Crimson: 7,500 – 9,999 SR
- Iridescent: > 10,000 SR
- Top 250: 10,000+ SR
Each of these divisions holds 3 additional tiers, you must climb up the tiers one step at a time before promoting into a higher divisions.
How to Earn SR in Resurgence Ranked
Warzone Resurgence Ranked works slightly differently than other ranked modes but does feature the same SR (Skill Rating) format at the rest. You can earn SR in multiple ways, from kills and assists, to placing higher in the lobby. However, to queue into ranked Resurgence you must always pay a ‘fee’, this fee grows higher and higher the further up the ranked ladder you climb, forcing you to be consistently better than your opponents to climb.
How to Earn SR from Placements
SR is earned passively based on how many teams are currently alive, if you and your squad manage 0 kills while making it to the top 5 teams you’ll earn yourself 60SR (minus your SR fee)
- 14 Teams Remaining: + 0 SR
- 10 Teams Remaining: + 15 SR
- 8 Teams Remaining: + 30 SR
- 6 Teams Remaining: + 45 SR
- 5 Teams Remaining: + 60 SR
- 4 Teams Remaining: + 80 SR
- 3 Teams Remaining: + 100 SR
- 2 Teams Remaining: + 125 SR
- Resurgence Win: +150 SR
How to Earn SR from Kills and Assists
Earning SR from kills is the most obvious way to climb through the ranks but be warned that dying has negative consequences in this new mode.
- Kills while 9+ Teams are Alive: +5 SR per Kill/Assist – +2 SR per non-assisted Teammate Kill
- Kills while 8 Teams are Alive: +7 SR per Kill/Assist – +3 SR per non-assisted Teammate Kill
- Kills while 3 Teams are Alive: +15 SR per Kill/Assist – +7 SR per non-assisted Teammate Kill
How to Earn SR from One-Time Challenges
The following challenges are meant to kickstart your ranked grind and get you into a better position right out of the gate. Be warned that these challenges can only be completed once each, so consecutive wins will NOT earn you another 200 SR.
- First Kill or Assist: +100 SR
- 10 Kills or Assists: +100 SR
- 25 Kills or Assists: +100 SR
- 50 Kills or Assists: +100 SR
- 100 Kills or Assists: +100 SR
- Reach Top 8 Squad: +100 SR
- Reach Top 5 Squad: +100 SR
- Reach Top 3 Squad: +100 SR
- Win a Match: +200 SR
How to Lose SR from Too Many Deaths
Paying a Ranked Fee each time you queue up is not the only way you can lose your hard earnt SR, in the new Resurgence too many deaths deplete your SR. For every death you forfeit a portion of your current SR and will continue to drop but will never go below your initial SR fee.
Paying 15 SR to queue and dying 10 times during a match will still only net you the -15 SR as a quick example.
