Achievements and weapon camouflages will be issued forever.
LAUNCH OF NEW SEASON
The schedule for the Ranked Match seasons has changed slightly. Now the battles will take place in stages of 4 weeks with a minimum pause, which can be used for a short rest.
Benefits of frequent changes of seasons:
1. A constant goal. You have a clear task - to conquer the top of the ranking every season in order to then receive the most “delicious” prizes.
2. Abundance of rewards. Every month you can receive rewards (crowns and warbucks) for advancing through the leagues. There are never too many gifts! Each season they can be obtained once - at the time of reaching a new league. If a fighter worsens his position during the games, and then makes up for it again, then the current reward will not be issued a second time.
| League | Warbucks | Crowns |
| 20 - 15 | 500 | 50 |
| 14 - 10 | 750 | 75 |
| 9 - 5 | 1000 | 100 |
| 4 - 2 | 1500 | 150 |
| 1 | 5000 | 500 |
In general, you won’t be bored!
PLANS TO IMPROVE THE GAME MODE
1. The ability to surrender in case of a collision with noticeably more will be added strong opponent. The choice of the team will be determined by a general vote, which will take place in the same way as now when a player is excluded from a regular match. If the team decides to surrender, each player will be counted as losing the battle, but without a penalty for leaving the match early.
2. A bonus for a winning streak will appear. If you win consecutive victories, you will begin to receive additional points for promotion through the leagues.
3. The system for returning to a match in the event of technical problems on the player’s side will be improved, and some current errors in this mechanism will be corrected.
4. To prevent unfair promotion of fighters through leagues, measures are being developed to:
a) tougher penalties for intentionally playing with violators;
b) reducing the reaction time to reports of such violations.
Compete and win!
For once, the developers decided to listen to the opinions of the players and introduce ranked matches into Warface. Now every player who has reached rank 26 will be able to find allies and rivals equal in skill.

Ranked matches can be played either solo or in a team of up to 5 people. All you need is to go to the “Rated PVP” section, use the “Battle” button, invite partners (optional), select a class and press the “Play” button. Based on your league, the system will select the most suitable opponents for you and connect you to the game.

Finally, some valuable advice and equally valuable comments from the famous video blogger “Mortid”.
Introduction
Ranked matches allow gamers to compete, test and confirm their gaming skills. In addition, for each place won in the league you get a good reward in the form of crowns, warbucks and one of three VIP boosters. Ranked matches are held in two PvP modes, between two teams of five players each. It is not possible to start eliminating a teammate, instead a "surrender" function has been added.
From the very beginning, participation in ranked matches was available in the maps of the PvP mode “Demolition”. Recently, maps of the PvP mode “Blitz” have become available: Villa And Residence. Some gamers are new to playing ranked matches on these maps. Let's look at the cards themselves and some strategies for playing them.
PvP mode "Blitz"
Players were introduced to the “Blitz” mode almost a year ago, in November 2016. Gamers immediately liked the innovation. Battles on the Villa map have become an integral part of both veterans and newcomers of the MMO shooter.
Playing on this map in Ranked matches is almost the same as in quick game. One nuance of playing on RM is the size of the team. There will be only five fighters in the team who want to test their strength, just like in the “explosion” mode. This will complicate the task due to the size of the cards compared to the “undermining”, but the rules are the same for everyone.
While in Warface There are only two maps of this mode. They have both been added to Ranked Matches. According to the main criteria, the maps are almost the same: size, points of joint action, entry points. One of the main differences between the two is the location of the bomb. On the “Villa” map the bomb is placed in an open space, while on the “Residence” map the bomb is located in a building.
One team must neutralize the charge installed on the territory of the complexes (Villa/Residence), the second must ensure its protection until the moment of explosion.
If you are playing without a pre-prepared team, then the first round in Ranked matches can be considered a training round. Feel the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy, choose the appropriate class and tactics to combat him.
Defensive team
Defenders' task- prevent the enemy team from disarming the charge installed on the territory of the complex. I would not say that you need to take a position near the bomb and wait for your opponents to come to defuse it. But leaving the bomb unattended is also unnecessary. After all, if the whole team storms in one direction, then one of the enemy fighters, left out of your sight, can easily bypass and neutralize it. Especially if it is a fighter of the Engineer class - it is no secret that only this class of fighter neutralizes the installed charge faster than other classes.
The bomb will begin to make a characteristic sound if there are less than 30 seconds left until the end of the round. You can also hear it being neutralized. Watch out for entry points that the enemy might undermine. The sound of an explosion will indicate to you a likely assault from this position. Also, don’t forget about workarounds and joint action points.
Attacking team
The attacking team must defuse the bomb in the shortest possible time. In this case, it is absolutely not necessary to kill all the players of the opposing team. Be careful, even if you destroy all opponents, but do not have time to neutralize the charge, the round will be lost.
As mentioned above, you can use “assault” tactics from one or more entry points, take a “roundabout” route, and so on. Don't wait in Ranked matches easy game. If you decide to go around, most likely the enemy will already be waiting for you.
Stormtrooper
Since the attack class has many gaming qualities (range, damage, rate of fire), the game is useful for them on both sides. Half the work is already done if you have a couple on your team good fighters"Stormtrooper" class.
First priority- storm key enemy positions. This does not mean at all that you need to run headlong into the enemy’s bullets. First you need to take the optimal position during defense or decide on the entrance to the complex during an attack.
Sometimes tactics are effective in defense " Rush"to bait the enemy. Be prepared to be met on the upper steps by enemy fighters (Villa). Before entering, it is better to throw a smoke grenade at the place where you descend from the steps. If your plan is interrupted by death, then most likely you will not receive resuscitation this round.
You can try to get rid of several opponents who blew up the entry point, go around and eliminate the remaining ones. This tactic will be more efficient when performed by several gamers at the same time. Don't forget to use the underbarrel grenade launcher to finish off enemies and more. The use of smoke grenades will make it easier to penetrate the complex. Even considering that the enemy knows all possible entry points to the complex, he can be taken by surprise.
Medic
Defense
« Rush“a medic in defense is no worse than an attack aircraft (Villa). The advantage is high damage over a short distance. If you want to try it, move towards the enemy’s decoy from your base, trying not to get blown up by grenades (on the “Villa” map left side throws them abundantly). Throw a smoke grenade at the steps of the decoy, this way you will hide yourself from the enemy. Go inside and kill the bored players. It may be possible to catch them performing a joint action.
Using several smoke grenades, you can approach enemy players on the right side on both maps of the mode (on the Residence map, the entry point should be blown up). If there are none on your way, then your “detour” will be as effective as possible. Don’t forget that by the time you complete the entire detour, your team’s fighters may already have been eliminated and the bomb defused.
For measured play as a medic, gamers use the tactics of defending a charge and resuscitating dead teammates.
Attack
Just like when playing as an attack aircraft, smoke grenades are a big plus when infiltrating a complex and resuscitating teammates. The enemy will try to keep you at a distance - get ready for this. You can plant a player of another class and eliminate the fighters who are trying to attack you.
Engineer
Some well-coordinated teams use the Engineer class to quickly end the round - gamers who get to the optimal distance throw smoke grenades at and near the set charge. One of the fighters (most likely it will be an Engineer) runs into the smoke to defuse the bomb. At this time, the rest of his teammates are covering him with all their might. This tactic not always may be effective.
On the “Villa” map, you can sneak into an ambush of defenders, use a smoke grenade with a set charge and clear it. On the Residence map, you will have to storm your way to the bomb, so it is almost impossible to covertly defuse the bomb.
Properly placed mines on the map can save the lives of your comrades and protect you from the enemy quickly neutralizing the charge. In defense, stay close to the charge, preventing the enemy from eliminating it. Place mines both on the approaches to the bomb and on the charge itself. Even if the mine goes off without killing the enemy, you will be warned about his presence in this sector.
When playing on the attack, place mines on the approaches to your position. This is extremely important. If the rear is left without cover, a mine explosion will indicate the location of potential enemies behind you, thereby saving your life.
Defense for the engineer. "Blitz" on RM
Sniper
When playing on maps of the “Blitz” mode in a quick game, you can meet many sniper class players who constantly sit and do not leave their positions near the charge, at the respawn or on decoys. There are much fewer such instances in Ranked matches. This is due to the fact that there are only ten players on the map. Even a sniper will be reluctant to sit in one place in “Blitz” on the RM, although all means are good for victory.
There are many variations of the game with this class. Sit down and keep your sights on the enemy's top, go down (Villa)/up (Residence) on the right side of the map for a shootout with the arrows of the opposite team.
Surprise your enemy by appearing in the center of the map before he blows up the entry point. This will definitely get you some kills. Going out to open areas Beware of enemy shooters who may be waiting for you in their sights.
Defense and attack as a sniper. "Blitz" on RM
The ranked match system includes 21 leagues. Initially, the player is in the very last 21 leagues. To move to a higher league, you need to earn several points (one for each victory) within the current league. If you win more than two victories in a row, you begin to receive additional points for promotion in the leagues - two points instead of one for each subsequent successful match. Bonus points for winning streaks are awarded up to Golden League II. When a player loses, they are relegated back to the minor leagues. With a series of defeats, relegation to a lower league level is possible. There can be an unlimited number of people in one league, i.e. players will not push each other out, no matter how many there are. You can view your league or the progress of the rating scale in the “Rated PvP” tab.
The search for rated games can be done either alone or with friends or clanmates. Participants from different leagues can play together - in this case, the search will be carried out in accordance with the highest rank within the group. A player's rank in ranked matches does not affect matchmaking in Quick Play.
PROVE TO EVERYONE THAT YOU ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST!
If you encounter a noticeably stronger opponent, you can give up. This function is not available immediately, but only after some time. The team's decision is determined by a general vote, which takes place in the same way as when a player is excluded from a regular match. The vote of each fighter is important here - the decision will be made if everyone votes for one option. If a team nevertheless decides to surrender, each of its players will be counted as losing the battle, but without a penalty for leaving the match early.
Many players love ranked matches and take part in this championship with pleasure. In the next update we want to make this mode better. The idea is to preserve the main unshakable mechanics of the competition, while at the same time introducing a more tactical component into them, making the mode more interesting and bringing it a little closer to the format of the official Warface Open Cup tournaments.
In the future, participants in rating matches will receive new rewards: unique achievements and camouflages. I would like for promotion to the first league to become an even more significant event, and for players who achieve it to stand out with truly unique stripes and prizes! New rewards will not be introduced into the game immediately, but after thorough testing of all new items.
Meet the updated ranked matches!What has changed?
In the upcoming update, you will see changes to a number of mechanics in ranked matches. The rules of the competition have changed slightly and the interface has been updated. In the future, it is planned to increase rewards for achieving leagues in the Republic of Moldova. Let's talk about each new product in more detail.
Mechanics change
The main essence of RM has remained unchanged: you have to fight your way to the first league, and if you lose a series of matches, you will roll back one league.
As you fight within each league, you'll have to make a series of victories instead of just one. The higher the league, the more perseverance you will have to show. At the same time, if you are defeated, you will not immediately lose progress: you will have a chance to improve by winning a series of matches. If you do not take advantage of this opportunity and continue to lose, you will fall back to the previous league.
PLEASE NOTE: Values provided on the test server will vary.The win streak bonus will work a little differently: if you have three wins in a row in last matches previous league, then in the new league one victory will be counted to you automatically. Below is an example.
| Sixth League | |
| Streak bonus does not count: you will not receive an additional win in the fifth league. | Win Streak Bonus: You will receive one additional win in your fifth league. |
New rewards
The list of rewards for reaching new leagues will be changed. There will be new achievements for success in ranked matches. For winning the first league, special boxes with new camouflages are provided, as well as many rare patches. Every season RM achievements for the first league will change, so they will be truly unique!
Example of camouflage for winning the first league
We will tell you when the awards will appear in future news.
Appearance, description, meaning and conditions for receiving awards are subject to change.
Restrictions on weapons and uniforms
In order to equalize the chances of players and make battles more coordinated and tactical, it was decided to introduce restrictions on the use of some weapons and uniforms. When compiling the list, we were partly guided by the regulations of the Warface Open Cup tournaments. The restrictions will help players conduct regular training and quickly join the sports component of the project. Perhaps for many, the updated ranked matches will be the first step to big e-sports.
Prohibited for use:
- any automatic and semi-automatic sniper rifles;
- seasonal items with characteristics different from the original;
- festive weapons;
- anti-personnel and seasonal mines;
- fragmentation grenades except M26;
- any equipment that provides protection from the first hit;
- equipment that replenishes health and armor;
- gloves and body armor of the "Absolute" series.
Items permitted in the Republic of Moldova will be marked in the warehouse with a special sign. If you equip prohibited items, you will not be able to start a battle in ranked matches.
PLEASE NOTE: THE INNOVATIONS PRESENTED ABOVE MAY BE CHANGED UPON PTS LAUNCH OR BASED ON THE RESULTS OF GENERAL TESTING.
We hope regime veterans will appreciate the innovations. The improved season of ranked matches will launch with the release of the update on combat servers. It will be in test mode. Based on the results of testing, we will consider the possibility of increasing rewards and introducing unique achievements and camouflages, which were discussed in the news. We will announce the start date of the PTS, where you can see the changes, very soon!
We wish you a bright game!
