Respawn explain changes to Ranked Play coming in Apex Legends Season 4 Respawn EntertainmentAhead of the fourth season of the immensely popular battle royale, developers Respawn Entertainment have revealed a number of changes coming to Apex Legends\u2019 ranked play. At the end of January, the designers behind Apex Legends\u2019 Ranked Series explained a number of changes that players can expect going into Season 4 \u2013 Assimilation, which has been confirmed as dropping on February 4. Reset to rankings midway through Season 4 The post, dated January 23, revealed a few major changes coming to Ranked Series 3. Arguably the most notable is that there will be a reset to ranked standings midway through each season. With an Apex Legends Season equating to roughly 12 weeks, the ranked cycle will now be roughly six weeks, resetting midway through the season. \u201cThis means that Series 3 will have two shorter splits, each with a soft reset,\u201d Respawn said. \u201cSplit 1 will be played on World\u2019s Edge while Split 2 will be back on King\u2019s Canyon to keep things fresh.\u201d This news will likely be welcomed by players, many of whom have hoped for a chance to return to King\u2019s Canyon. \u2018Master Tier\u2019 to be added before Apex Predator The next change detailed is the addition of a \u2018Master Tier\u2019, which will slot in between Diamond Tier and Apex Predator. This is to reduce the number of players who achieve the rank of Apex Predator, which will now only allow the top 500 players per console. \u201cThe RP required to make it to Master Tier will still be 10,000 RP as Apex Predator was,\u201d Respawn explained. \u201cApex Predator tier will now be exclusive to the top 500 players per platform\u2026 We feel this should give more prestige to making and keeping your Apex Predator rank, while still keeping the tiers above Diamond very exclusive.\u201d Other changes include rewards, but these are minor and will likely not affect players to a significant degree. Scoring and buy-in system to stay the same The post details a number of aspects of the Ranked Series that are staying the same, including the entry costs for matches at respective tiers. The new Master Tier will cost 60RP \u2013 the same as a match in Apex Predator. The post concludes by saying: \u201cWe\u2019ll continue to evaluate and improve Ranked Leagues, but we\u2019re happy with the progress so far. A big thanks to all the players that grind the ladder and show us what high skill games of Apex Legends really look like.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
