According to an official Activision announcement:
“Vanguard will offer a bespoke Multiplayer Ranked Play mode (launching in Beta at the start of Season Two) featuring league-approved rules, visible Skill Ratings, and new competitive rewards among other innovations from Treyarch and Sledgehammer Games.”
Ranked Play offers many exciting rewards to those that dare climb up the rankings. Significantly, players who reach the two highest divisions in Vanguard’s ranked game mode will earn exclusive rewards usable in both Vanguard and Warzone. However, to achieve that, players would first need to access the ranked game mode.
And according to reactions on Twitter, many fans are having trouble with that task.
