Apex Legends ranks explained: Ranked Reloaded, splits, & tiers in order

Apex Legends Ranked can be a difficult system to understand at first, but once you’re familiar with the ranks, tiers, and RP rewards, you’ll be ready to start your climb to Predator.

Apex Legends is a competitive game at its heart and the majority of the players enter every single match looking to take home the victory with their squad.

Of course, when playing in standard lobbies, it can be difficult to know where you stand in the overall community when it comes to skill.

That’s why Respawn added the Ranked mode to Apex so players can queue against opponents of a similar level and rise up through the ranks.

However, in order to effectively climb in Ranked, you’ll need to be familiar with each of the Apex Legends ranks, RP costs & rewards, and of course, the Season 13 changes.

What are the Apex Legends ranks?

In Apex Legends Ranked, competitors are distributed into one of eight ranks that they can rise or fall down depending on the amount of RP they lose or gain.

It’s worth noting that players cannot be demoted to the Rookie rank that was added in Season 13, as it’s a one-time-only tier that acts as an introductory rank for new players.

You can check out all of the Apex Legends ranks below and the RP requirements needed to reach each of the tiers:

Climbing the Apex Legends ranks can take the majority of players a long time, so remember to be patient and focus on sharpening your skills.

What are Apex Legends Ranked splits?

Every Ranked Season in Apex Legends is separated into two splits with a soft reset occurring in the middle of the current season.

When this reset occurs, players are pushed back 1.5 tiers to encourage them to keep climbing and rising up through the ranks. Not only that, but the split also replaces the current map in rotation with a new one.

For example, as Storm Point is the current map for Ranked in Season 13, this will be switched to World’s Edge when the new split starts on June 28.
