BIZARRE: Marathon ranked explained rules scoring and rewards | Mind Blowing Facts

Marathon Ranked: The Arachne liaison holding knives and wearing a lot red cloak.

I'll admit, I was sceptical of Marathon's Ranked mode at first. How do you even make a proper competitive system in an extraction shooter, where a win and a loss aren't quite so easily defined? Well, Bungie's done it. Though to get it all to work, it's quite complicated.

You earn and lose points to go up and down ranks as you'd expect, but there are a lot more layers on top, with new systems like Holotags, gear ante, and matchmaking pools. But with unique seasonal Ranked rewards up for grabs, you'll want to know how it all works. One thing's for sure, you'll want the best guns in your hands and characters in your crew to improve your odds.
