But if you’re already playing rank, and still don’t know how you compare against the rest of the world, don’t worry, this article will guide you through ranked lobbies and let you know the average player rank in Halo Infinite.
When did Halo Infinite start ranked play?
Halo Infinite, unlike previous Halo games, and like most games from the more recent batch of first-person shooters, has let players compete in ranked matches since it launched. Put it simply, this means that the sooner you got on the game and started playing ranked, the higher up you probably are on the ladder right now. Having said that, the ranked system requires that you complete 10 matches of ranked play to gain your first ranked placement. Most players end up in Diamond 1 after the placement matches. How you ascend or descend the ranks from there is completely up to you.
How does ranked work in Halo Infinite?
Halo Infinite has a variety of modes in its ranked playlist. This playlist includes Slayer, Capture the Flag, Oddball, and Strongholds. Beyond this point, players will always spawn in with a Battle Rifle and two grenades, with the objective of gaining more kills and picking up better weapons from the ground.
What are the Halo Infinite ranks?
Halo Infinite has a total of 6 overall ranks, that are further divided into 6 internal tiers per rank, with the exception of Onyx, is divided according to Ranked Points acquired while holding the rank. The ranks are as follows:
Bronze I Bronze II Bronze III Bronze IV Bronze V Bronze VI Silver I Silver II Silver III Silver IV Silver V Silver VI Gold I Gold II Gold III Gold IV Gold V Gold VI Platinum I Platinum II Platinum III Platinum IV Platinum V Platinum VI Diamond I Diamond II Diamond III Diamond IV Diamond V Diamond VI Onyx (1500 RP -> Infinite, increments of 50 RP)
What is the average Halo Infinite rank?
Halo Infinite players are given access to the distribution of ranked player standings and are able to compare how they stand against players all over the world. Ranked play is generally divided into three categories.
Ranked Open Queue
From the above graph, we can see that the largest concentration of Halo Infinite players in the ranked open queue are in the Gold and Platinum ranks. We can also see that there is a significant spike in Diamond 1 but only because of how ranked matches in the game works. Players are placed into Diamond 1 as soon as they complete their 10 placement matches. The average rank in the Ranked Open Queue on Halo Infinite is Platinum I.
Ranked Solos/Duos Controller
This variation of the graph has been filtered to show players who are using controllers as input methods while paying the game. Players can see that the same spike follows through as the above graph for Diamond I, while the average rank on controller based inputs is a tie between Platinum IV and Platinum V.
Ranked Solos/Duos Keyboard and Mouse
The final variation of the graph that we have is that of players using Keyboard and Mouse as input methods while playing the game. The lobbies still have the major spike at Diamond I, while the average player rank has shifted to Platinum IV instead of being split between IV and V. We can also see that keyboard and mouse players have the greater amount of players that have actually reached Onyx rank.
