However, if you start to consistently lose you may find yourself falling through the ranks. If you’re a Bronze 2, continue to win and you’ll move into Bronze 3 and then Silver 1 after that and so on. To improve your rank, all you have to do is win matches. Once all five matches are complete, you’ll be given one of the five ranks – Bronze, Silver, Gold, Onyx or Diamond – and one of the three tiers numbered 1-3 in each rank. You’ll earn your rank by playing 5 placement matches for each playlist.
You’ll only have ranks in the Core and Competitive playlists, while Social Quickplay is essentially where you can play without worrying too much about how you play. These ranks are based on a visible skill rating that ensures players are matched with opponents of a similar level. In order to improve the matchmaking experience in Gears of War 4’s core and competitive Versus multiplayer modes, The Coalition has introduced a ranking system.
