Ranks
The Rank Points you earn in ranked matches carry you up a ten-step ladder. Rank is independent of your level: only how you place in ranked matches decides it.
Pool 1
- 1 Private
- 2 Corporal
Pool 2
- 3 Sergeant
- 4 Lieutenant
- 5 Captain
- 6 Major
Pool 3
- 7 Colonel
- 8 General
- 9 Army General
- 10 Field Marshal
How Rank Points work
- Points come from ranked matches only; casual matches leave your rank untouched.
- The higher you place at the end of a match, the more you earn; first place earns the most, and finishing near the bottom costs you points.
- Bots don’t count. Your points are worked out purely from where you placed among the real players at the table.
- Your total never drops below zero — but if it falls, so does your rank. The ladder runs both ways.
- Matchmaking looks at your pool, not your exact rank: players in the same pool are matched together.
Rank names aren’t literal translations — each language uses its own army’s equivalent. The Turkish Binbaşı becomes Major in English, Commandant in French and Майор in Russian.
Rarity Tiers
Every character and cosmetic in the game sits on a rarity tier, and the tier's colour shows on its card. The further up the ladder, the less often that tier drops from chests.
- Common
- Rare
- Veteran
- Warlord
- Legendary
- Wistory
The top tier carries the game's own name: Wistory. It's a brand name, so it is never translated — it reads the same in every language.
