SR (Skill Rating)

- We're increasing the SR earned for early Placement Milestones to streamline the distribution of SR players receive throughout the match.
- Updated Placement SR:
- Top 40: 10
- Top 30: 20
- Top 20: 30
- Top 10: 40
- Top 5: 50
This adjustment will help Placement Milestone SR feel more rewarding throughout the match without diminishing the personal and team play required to earn the highest amount of SR earned from top placements. Please note Placement Milestones not listed above remain unchanged.

Trophy Hunt Update
We hope you enjoyed our Trophy Hunt event! While Players can no longer actively earn trophies/tokens, they can still spend them on rewards in the in-game Events tab.
Throwing Star
A compelling, high-skill alternative to the Throwing Knife, the Throwing Star demands more accuracy from its wielder. While less accurate hits will not result in a kill, this is more than compensated for in its ammo capacity and rapid deployment capabilities.
Added an indicator for how to unlock the Throwing Star in the Loadouts tab
Unlocked via in-game Challenge: 50 Operator kills with the Throwing Knife
Weapon Balancing
First Raise
The delay between first equipping a Weapon and being able to fire it has been decreased across numerous Weapons.
Quick Raise and Quick Drop
Quick Raise and Quick Drop speeds have been uniformly increased, allowing for more rapid deployment of equipment—which is further improved by Fast Hands.

Maximum Armor Damage values have been added to all Assault Rifles, Battle Rifles, Submachine Guns, and Light Machine Guns. These values will assist in slowing down close-range time-to-kill.

After tracking down Alex, Gaz breaks off to establish comms with Laswell and provide exfil. Now Price, Farah, and Alex must push deeper into the Soviet base, descending into a massive pit where they will navigate old train tunnels and electrically charged waters. With Hadir and the missing warhead still on the loose, every minute counts. Complete Raid Episode 03 to unlock Alex as an Operator.
New Mission: Defender: Hafid Port is now available!
Deploy to Hafid Port in Al Mazrah and take on the cartel’s new operation. It won’t be an easy task: Once you’ve eliminated their first line of defense, you’ll need to dig in and defend against multiple waves of increasingly challenging enemy forces.
The patch notes detailed in the section below affect all Warzone 2.0 content across Battle Royale, Resurgence, Plunder, and DMZ.
Adjustments
All Maps | All Modes
- UAV
- UAV pings will now only emit from the Player who activated the Killstreak.
- If the Player who activated the UAV is killed, the UAV will finish.
- Using 3 UAVs will still upgrade the signal into an Advanced UAV.
With UAVs now being available in all Buy Stations, we wanted to better balance their power so that they are as equally balanced for Solo’s as they are through Quads. We felt that, like all Killstreaks, the Killstreak should come from the Player who calls it in so when players hear “Enemy UAV Overhead”, they know that the total radius covered is of a fixed, known quantity across all modes.
- Mortar Strike
- The amount of missiles dropped during Mortar Strike has been decreased by 25%.
- Obstructed Pings
- Disabled the ability to ping enemies through smoke or water.
Ashika Island | All Modes
- Buy Stations
- Added more possible Buy Station locations.
The patch notes detailed in the section below are exclusive to Battle Royale, which includes but is not limited to standard Battle Royale, Resurgence, Plunder, and all respective variants.
For a forecast of the first 3 weeks of Playlist updates during Season 03 Reloaded, check out the dedicated Warzone Trello Board.
The Warzone Ranked Play Season 03 (BETA) is moments away for all players who have reached Level 45.
Play competitive 150 Player Battle Royale Trios matches using competitive settings developed by Treyarch, Raven Software, and Infinity Ward. Moving forward, Players can expect 1:1 synchronized settings between Ranked Play and World Series of Warzone.
Ultimately, the goal with Ranked Play is to deliver a competitive and fair system of play, all while striving to ensure a consistent experience across all Battle Royale modes. To achieve this, the Ranked Play (BETA) is launching with initial gameplay restrictions in order to gather crucial feedback and data for the full launch of Ranked Play in Season 04, and beyond.

SR (Skill Rating) & Divisions
Test yourself against your peers and track that progress with a visible SR (Skill Rating) that determines your place across 8 Skill Divisions.
- All players begin our first Competitive Season in Bronze I with 0 SR.
- Players earn SR based on match performance, with SR awarded for Kills, Assists, and outlasting other Squads.
- Breakdown: Earning SR
- Kills and Assists
- Players gain SR over the course of each match each time they get a Kill or assist, with Kills and assists being treated equally to encourage teamwork between Squadmates.
- Players will also receive some SR each time a Squadmate gets a Kill, even if they don’t contribute to the Kill.
- To reward high-stakes Kills late in the game, SR increases over the course of each match based on the number of Squads left alive:
- 21+ Squads Remaining: +5 SR per Kill/Assist, +2 SR per Squadmate Kill
- 3 - 20 Squads Remaining: +7 SR per Kill/Assist, +3 SR per Squadmate Kill
- 1-3 Squads Remaining: +15 SR per Kill/Assist, +7 SR per Squadmate Kill
- Final Placements
- Additionally, players earn SR based on final placement at the end of the match:
- Top 40: +5 SR
- Top 30: +10 SR
- Top 20: +20 SR
- Top 10: +30 SR
- Top 5: +45 SR
- 3rd: +60 SR
- 2nd: +80 SR
- 1st: +100 SR
- Player’s will see this SR added throughout a match. Reach Top 40 and you’ll gain 5 SR. Reach Top 30 and you will see another 5 SR for a total of 10 SR.
- Additionally, players earn SR based on final placement at the end of the match:
- SR Tracker
- Players will be able to see and track SR earned via Kills, Asists, Unassisted Squadmate Kills, and Placements on a visible tracker in-game.
- The SR Tracker will be visible while alive or spectating a Squadmate and will always display your own SR for the current match.
- If your team is eliminated, the SR Tracker will be hidden when spectating an Enemy Squad, and your final earned SR will be shown in the After Action Report.
- Players will be able to see and track SR earned via Kills, Asists, Unassisted Squadmate Kills, and Placements on a visible tracker in-game.
- Kills and Assists
- Breakdown: Deployment Fees
- At the beginning of each match, a Deployment Fee is deducted from each player’s current SR total.
- The higher the player’s Skill Division & Tier, the higher the Deployment Fee. This ensures that each division has increasing performance expectations and player’s must exceed those expectations to progress.
- Players must earn this amount of SR in the following game if they wish to advance towards the next Skill Division or Tier. Failing to earn back the Deployment Fee will result in players losing SR for the match.
- Bronze I-III: No Deployment Fee
- Silver I: -10 SR
- Silver II: -14 SR
- Silver III: -18 SR
- Gold I: -23 SR
- Gold II: -28 SR
- Gold III: -33 SR
- Platinum I: -39 SR
- Platinum II: -45 SR
- Platinum III: -51 SR
- Diamond I: -58 SR
- Diamond II: -65 SR
- Diamond III: -72 SR
- Crimson I: -80 SR
- Crimson II: -90 SR
- Crimson III: -100 SR
- Iridescent: -110 SR + 10 SR every 500 SR above 10,000, up to a max Deployment Fee of -210 SR.
- Players can progress through eight Skill Divisions by reaching SR milestones:
- Bronze – Starting Division
- Silver – 900 SR
- Gold – 2,100 SR
- Platinum – 3,600 SR
- Diamond – 5,400 SR
- Crimson – 7,500 SR
- Iridescent – 10,000 SR
- Top 250 – 10,000+ SR
- Division Tiers: All Divisions except for Iridescent and Top 250 have 3 Tiers - Tier I, Tier II & Tier III. Climb into higher Tiers as you advance your way through each Division.
- Show Off Your Skill: It’s easy to see which Division someone is in in Warzone Ranked Play. Your entire Rank Icon will change color and material depending on your current Skill Division. Your current Tier is also prominently shown in the center of your Rank icon.
- End of Season Skill Setback: At the end of each Season, your ending Skill Division will determine where you start the following season:
- Bronze through Crimson players start in Tier I of the Skill Division below where they finished in the previous season.
- Iridescent and Top 250 players will start in Diamond I.
Top 250 Leaderboard & Division
- The Top 250 Division drops into Warzone, ranking the top 250 Ranked Play players in the world on an in-game Leaderboard that all players can view from within the Warzone Ranked Play lobby.
- The Top 250 will be active from Day 1 of each Season.
- Players will qualify for the Top 250 and appear on the Leaderboard as they surpass 10,000+ SR. The top 250 players with the highest SR above 10,000 will remain on the board and compete for 1st place over the remainder of the Season.
- Ultimate Bragging Rights: In addition to new Rank and Seasonal Rewards in Warzone 2, the #1 Ranked Play player will receive a unique, one-of-a-kind Calling Card and Emblem at the end of each Season.

Competitive Integrity Features
- Squad Backout / Match Cancel: If you lose a matchmade teammate before the match begins, your squad will be taken back to the lobby so you don’t start the match shorthanded. If too many squads get backed out before the match begins, we will return everyone to the lobby to find a better match.
- Suspensions & Penalties: Disconnecting from matches early will result in SR Penalties and Matchmaking Suspensions. Repeated disconnects will result in higher SR Penalties and longer Suspensions.
- SR Forgiveness: If a matchmade teammate disconnects during a game, you won’t lose any SR for the match. You’ll still be able to gain SR if you manage to gain more than your Deployment Fee.
- Demotion Protection and Division Stickiness: Everytime you are promoted to a new Division, you’ll gain 3 games of Demotion Protection where you won’t lose any SR. Once those games have passed, if you happen to lose enough SR where you would normally get demoted, we will set you at the Division SR floor (Gold would be 2100 SR for example) to give you one more chance before getting demoted.
- Party SR Restrictions: To ensure competitive fairness and balance of matches in higher Skill Divisions, players in certain Divisions can only party up with players around their current SR. The player with the highest Skill Division in the party determines which Party SR Restrictions are used:
- Iridescent (Including Top 250) & Crimson: Can party with players within 1 Skill Division
- Diamond: Can party within 2 Skill Divisions
- Bronze - Platinum: Can party up without any restrictions
Additional Features
- Find A Party: Warzone Ranked Play players can utilize the ‘Find a Party’ feature to find Squadmates of similar Skill before searching for a match.

- Playstyle: Competitive has been pre-selected and will remain locked for Party Finder.
- This feature includes the following preference filters:
- Hot Streaks: Win a Ranked Play game to earn Victory Streak Flames that appear behind your Rank Icon in the lobby and in-game. Extend your win streak to progress the flames. Victory Streak Flames expire when you are eliminated or after 72 hours without playing a Ranked Play match. Go on a roll and the competition will know the heat is coming.
- Social Profile: Your WZ Ranked Play Rank icon will be added to your Social profile anywhere your profile is viewed across Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty®: Warzone™ 2.0.

Adjustments
All Maps | All Modes
- “Most Wanted” Contract
- The reward crate will now drop when Players eliminate the Most Wanted target.
