Welcome to Ranked Mode
Treasure hunting is a very competitive line of work. That’s why Renegades should feel right at home in the new PvP-focused[b] Ranked Mode[/b]. It’s the Treasure Hunt mode that you know and love, but this time around, winning gets you closer to exclusive rewards, and losing hurts just a little more. The stakes have never been higher! To queue up for Ranked, simply switch between CASUAL and RANKED in the Game Modes selector.
Ranked: Key Features
The moment-to-moment gameplay of Ranked Mode is quite similar to your standard Treasure Hunt, but with some notable distinctions.- [b]Rankings and Rewards:[/b] Winning in [b]Ranked Mode[/b] improves your ranking and unlocks exclusive rewards, so you can show off your treasure-hunting prowess to other Renegades out on the hunt. Let everyone know how much of a legend you really are!
- [b]Played with Trios: [/b]Ranked is played exclusively in [b]Treasure Hunt (Squads)[/b]. Competition is always more fun as a team!
- [b]Separate Queue: [/b]Ranked matches will generally only include players who’ve also queued up for Ranked[b]. [/b]If you need more players, we’ll pull Renegades from the regular non-Ranked matchmaking queue (these players will not have their rank affected and will not be able to squad up with Ranked players).
- [b]No Bots: [/b]To the disappointment of our AI overlords, [b]Ranked Mode [/b]will not feature any bot Renegades (though Disciples and other foes are still very much kicking about).

Ranking System & Rewards
The ranking system in HAWKED contains six ranks: [b]Rookie, Prospect, Respected, Iconic, Notorious, and Legend. [/b]Each rank (with the exception of [b]Legend[/b]) contains five divisions (e.g. Rookie I, Prospect III, Iconic IV, etc.). All Renegades start at the rank of [b]Rookie (I) [/b]with 0 Rating Points. After every successfully completed match, you’ll gain [b]Rating Points[/b] and rise through the divisions to reach the next rank. Once a new rank is achieved, you can unlock an exclusive Banner and Weapon Pattern that’s only accessible to other Renegades of the same rank. The highest rank awarded is [b]Legend. [/b]This most prestigious title can be held by a maximum of 100 players at a time, so you’re in for a challenge. From there, ranking is determined solely based on Rating Points.

All you need to know about playing [b]Ranked Mode [/b]and how to become a Renegade [b]Legend[/b].- Once [b]Account Level 10 [/b]is reached, you will be eligible to queue up for a Ranked match. There are no other prerequisites.
- You start with [b]0 Rating Points [/b]at the rank of [b]Rookie (I). [/b]
- After accumulating [b]1,000 Rating Points, [/b]you will advance to [b]Rookie (II) [/b]and will be required to wager some of your Rating Points every time you queue up for a Ranked match.[list]
- The amount of Rating Points required to wager depends on your rank and division.
