Ranked mode is a special game mode that allows you to battle others in a fierce gunfight and earn points called ELO. Matches include 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3, each of which has a separate queue, allowing you to pick your preferred mode.

Unlocking Ranked mode requires you to fulfil the following stipulations:

Win 10 duels.
Reach Level 30.
Have a 14-day-old Roblox account.

A typical Ranked match starts with the participants picking a map to serve as the battleground for the bout. During this phase, both participating players or teams can vote to ban one map and two weapons outside of Assault Rifle, Handgun, Fists, and Grenades.

To get on the Ranked ladder, you must first play 10 matches in the mode. This is the primer stage that gives you a feel iof the mode before you are ready to start earning ELO. You can earn these points by winning matches, while losing will also see you drop some points. ELO defines a player’s current rank, which also factors into the types of matches they receive as they climb up the Ranked ladder.

You can make use of an ELO Shield that prevents point deduction upon losing a duel. One Shield can be acquired per day for free and once used, it’s lost until you replace it with another.
