The grind starts now.
Ranked mode is live in Search & Destroy. Every match you play counts. Every round you win, every plant you execute, every defuse you clutch — it all moves the needle. Climb from Unranked all the way to Reduxulous, across 24 tiers, each one harder to reach than the last.
YOUR RANK IS PERSISTENT
Points carry between sessions. Come back tomorrow, next week, whenever — your rank is waiting for you exactly where you left it.
SEASONS
Each ranked season is a chapter. When a new season begins, your peak rank and final points are archived to your history forever. Prove yourself every season. Stack your legacy.
RP IS EARNED, NOT GIVEN
Win and your rank climbs. Lose and it drops. But your stats matter — eliminations, assists, plants, and defuses all factor into how much you gain or lose. Win a close game on the wrong side of the scoreboard and the game respects it. Dominate a loss and you'll feel it less.
LEAVING PENALTY
Bail on a ranked match and you'll eat a point penalty. No free exits.
FAIR GAMES ONLY
Join mid-match? Your rank is fully protected — you can't gain or lose points for a game you didn't start. Forfeits don't count. Modifiers like Third Person, One Shot, and Siphon are automatically locked out in ranked — the environment is controlled so every match is legit.
Season 1 starts now. Where will you end up?
