Apex Legends Ranked Mode Changes in Season 13

It’s the beginning of a new adventure in the storm zone that will begin, bringing a whole bunch of new features. But the rescue seasonApex Legendsin addition to introducing Newcastle, offers an overhaul of ranked mode. The game refocuses on what made its strength: team play. The changes to the mode reflect this desire, with greater collective rewards.

A united team to win

To better stick to the team spirit put forward by Apex Legends, each member receives CP when an enemy is downed in ranked mode. This is accompanied by a removal of the cap on kill CPs, but also a revaluation of their value. They are thus revised downwards according to the number of eliminations carried out, and the classification reached. Killing his opponents therefore becomes a more strategic choice, no longer prompted by a defined ceiling. The time limit for assistance is also extended.

• Frag CP cap removed
• Elimination value: Degressive according to the number of kills made
• Duration of assistance: 10 seconds → 15 seconds
• Updated assist times when reviving a player

All ranked mode tweaks fromApex Legends

Of course, this new approach to team play also requires reviewing how ranked mode works as a whole. This is why many modifications are made to better balance everything.

Levels, promotions and access costs

Now, 100 CP is offered during a level promotion. This balances the changes on relegation, which protect the player up to 3 losses after promotion. Relegation can also now demote a player up to half of the lower division. But the great novelty is the appearance of the landing Novicepreceding the Bronze, and allowing new players to take their first steps serenely. No need to use a PC to get started, unlike the landing Bronze and higher. PC access costs are reviewed for the occasion.

In Masterthe CP cost continues to increase by 5 per 1000 points, up to a total of 175 CP.

KDA, ranking and endangerment

With the Rescue Season, the goal is to reward players for endangering themselves. It is not normal for the developers that someone finishing in the bottom half of the leaderboard can be awarded more points than the first. For this, the CP gained according to the classification is reviewed, and the number of CP per elimination adapts to the classification. CP gained from killing lower ranked players is also less important.
