One of the most requested features over the years is finally becoming reality.

This is our take on skill-based matchmaking for competitive minded players. It’s not meant to replace  amazing community leagues like GTC they’re still the gold standard for serious organized play, but it offers a low-pressure, built-in way to test yourself, improve, and climb the ladder.

No signups, no spreadsheets - just jump in, tag, and climb through the ranks. You will find it located in the City Competitive Course.

🏆 How it works:

- We’ll be starting with 1 map daytime-only Forest, no seasonal set dressing, so the map stays **consistent** for competitive play.
- Ranked uses **MMR**-based matchmaking to match you with similarly skilled players.
- PC players will only match with PC, and Quest with Quest.
- Matches start with **4 or more** players.
- **Timed** infection rounds keep the pace tight.
- **Welcoming** for newcomers, with plenty of room for grinders to rise and shine.

🎖️ Want to show off your achievements?

You can pick up the **Ranked Cosmetic Pack**, which displays your current rank in-game:

- On **Quest**, it appears as a **belt**
- On **PC**, it’s shown as a **ring**

Climb the ladder from **Wood, Rock, Bronze, Silver, Gold**, and **Beyond**! Every match helping define your skill. You can skip Wood and Rock if you unlock Competitive Course -  it’s all in your hands.
