Apex Legends has introduced an exciting new competitive limited time mode that adds an extra layer of challenge to the already intense ranked experience. Ranked Ladders create a skill-based leaderboard system that runs alongside the traditional ranking structure, offering players additional rewards and recognition for their performance.
Let's dig in!
How Ranked Ladders Works in Apex Legends
When a Ranked Ladder is active, every player participating in ranked matches automatically competes on a personal skill-based leaderboard. This system operates parallel to the standard Ranked progression, meaning you can still gain and lose rank points (RP) and move between divisions as usual.
The key difference lies in how your performance is tracked in this parallel leaderboard. Instead of focusing solely on your current rank, the Ladder system evaluates your consistency and peak performance across multiple matches.
The Top 10% System
Your position on the Ranked Ladder leaderboard is determined by your best 10 RP scores during the active Ladder period. This scoring system is designed to reward both skill and persistence.
Only your highest-scoring matches count toward your leaderboard position
When you achieve a new high score, it automatically replaces your lowest recorded score
This means every additional match you play has the potential to improve your standing
There's no penalty for having bad games, as they won't affect your Ladder position if you have 10 better scores
For example, you can play 50 or a 100 matches during Ranked Ladders event but only the best 10 matchs you had will count for your final score on the leaderboard.
Qualification Requirements
To participate in Ranked Ladder rewards, players must meet a minimum activity threshold. You need to complete at least 10 ranked matches during the Ranked Ladder period to be placed on the leaderboard and qualify for any rewards.
This ensures that only actively participating players are eligible for the special recognition and prizes that come with Ladder placement.
Normal Ranked Play Continues
It's important to understand that Ranked Ladders don't replace the existing Ranked system. All standard Ranked mechanics remain in effect.
You can still be promoted to higher divisions
Demotion between ranks continues as normal
Your traditional ranked rewards are unaffected
The Ranked Ladders is purely an additional competitive layer
Ranked Ladder Champion Rewards
For the most dedicated and skilled players, the Ladder Champion system offers exclusive recognition. Players who
reach Champion rank three times within the same split gain access to the prestigious Ladder Champion Dive Trail.
This exclusive cosmetic reward follows a unique timing system.
The dive trail is granted at the beginning of the next split after earning it
You can use the trail for the entire duration of that split
The trail is automatically removed at the end of the split
To keep the trail for subsequent splits, you must complete the Champion challenge again
This creates an ongoing incentive for top-tier players to maintain their performance consistently across different competitive periods.
What Are The Benefits of Ranked Ladders Event
The Ranked Ladder system encourages a more active approach to competitive play. Since only your best performances count and additional matches can only help your position, there's a strong incentive to keep playing even after reaching your desired rank.
For players looking to maximize their Ladder performance, consider focusing on consistency rather than just trying to achieve one perfect game. The top 10 system rewards players who can perform at a high level repeatedly, making it a true test of sustained skill rather than lucky streaks.
The Ranked Ladder adds a fresh competitive dimension to Apex Legends that rewards both skill and dedication, giving players new goals to pursue while maintaining the core Ranked experience they know and love.
