REDSEC ranked is the competitive version of Battlefield's battle royale: 25 squads of four, last squad standing. You climb seven ranks, Rookie, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Master, each with five divisions, by earning Ranked Points (RP) from your placement, kills and assists. From Bronze up, every match costs some RP to enter, and demotion shields stop a single bad game from dropping you. The top 250 players on each platform get the Elite rank. You need Career Rank 5 to play. The numbers below come from EA's official ranked guide for Season 3, published May 8, 2026, and EA has said Season 5 brings changes to the matchmaking bands.
REDSEC ranks and RP thresholds
Each rank has Divisions 1 to 5, and you go through all five before moving up. Here are the official Season 3 figures.
| Rank | Division 1 starts at | RP per division | Entry cost | Demotion shields |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rookie | 0 RP | 250 | 0 RP | 1 |
| Bronze | 1,250 RP | 250 | 10 RP | 1 |
| Silver | 2,500 RP | 250 | 20 RP | 1 |
| Gold | 3,750 RP | 500 | 25 RP | 2 |
| Platinum | 6,250 RP | 750 | 40 RP | 2 |
| Diamond | 10,000 RP | 1,000 | 50 RP | 2 |
| Master | 15,200 RP | 1,200 | 60 RP | 3 |
| Elite Top 250 | Top 250 RP on your platform | None | 60 RP | None |
Master Division 5 starts at 20,000 RP. The gap between divisions grows as you climb: 250 RP in the low ranks, 1,200 in Master. That is why the climb feels quick at first and slow later.
Elite Top 250 and #1 Elite count as part of Master. They have no fixed RP number. You hold the spot only while you are among the top 250 RP on your platform. Leaderboards are separate for PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
How RP works
Every match pays RP based on three things: where your squad places, your kills and your assists. EA does not publish the value of each kill or placement, and there is a cap on how much one match can pay. EA's own example: a first ranked match where you place first with plenty of kills can take you to Rookie Division 4, which is the single-match cap.
Your first match is played as Unranked. Even if you place 25th with no kills, you land in Rookie Division 1. There are no separate placement matches beyond that.
Entry costs
From Bronze up, the entry cost is taken at the start of every match. In Master that is 60 RP. A match where you get eliminated early with no kills can therefore lose you RP, and a string of them leads to demotion. Wins are not the only thing that counts: steady top-half finishes with a few kills each game add up.
Quitting
If you leave mid-match, you lose all RP earned in that match and still pay the entry cost. EA has also said penalties for serial quitters and AFK players are planned.
Demotion shields
Each time you reach a new division you get a set number of shields: one in Rookie to Silver, two in Gold to Diamond and three in Master. When a result would demote you, a shield is used instead and you stay in your division. Once they are gone, the next demotion goes through. Elite players get no shields.
Squad rank limits
A squad can only include players within two ranks of its highest-ranked member, and it is matched against squads in the same band. EA's examples:
- A Silver player can queue with Rookie up to Platinum.
- Unranked players can queue with Unranked, Rookie and Bronze.
- Elite Top 250 players face Top 250, Master and Diamond.
PC and console are matched separately. A squad of console players only meets console players, but one PC player in the squad sends everyone into PC matchmaking.
Rewards
You get rewards the first time you reach each division, such as XP boosts in Rookie and Bronze and a weapon charm, sticker and player card items from Silver to Master. At season end you get rewards based on your final rank, including a weapon camo from Silver up. These rewards work in both REDSEC and Battlefield 6. In Season 3 a ranked challenge assignment also gave a dog tag.
The end-of-season rewards use your final rank, not your highest one. If you are close to dropping late in the season, it can be worth protecting your rank rather than pushing.
What changed in Season 5
Season 5 started in October 2026. EA's season post lists improved ranked matchmaking bands for more accurate skill brackets, and the return of the Open and Elite Series competition. It also adds reconnects, so a dropped player can rejoin a live match, and 20% faster armour plating. EA has not published new RP thresholds for Season 5, so check the Ranked Hub in game if the figures above look different.
Climbing faster
The biggest gains come from surviving deep into matches and fighting on your own terms. If you are not at Career Rank 5 yet, career rank leveling gets you there, and Battlefield 6 coaching covers squad play, rotations and gunfights.
Our REDSEC ranked boost climbs from your current rank to the one you pick. A pro can play on your account with appear offline on, or you can squad up with them. Squad play keeps you on your own account and is the lower-risk option: sharing your login breaks EA's terms, and nobody can honestly call it risk-free. Every match is tracked in the live order chat.
