Ranked Is Live
Marathon Ranked is now live, and MarathonRanked is moving from pre-launch timing coverage into live queue, ladder, rewards, and info tracking. Start with our How Marathon Ranked works guide, then follow our updates on X while we continue filling out live Ranked coverage.
How It Works
Marathon Ranked beta starts with a weekend queue, a Holotag in your backpack, and a gear ante in equipped value. Exfil at or above your target to earn RP, then push beyond it with enemy Holotags and Tag Chips. Learn the full mechanics in our How Marathon Ranked Mode works guide.
Holotag Spotlight
Your Holotag sets your score target and loss penalty. Higher tiers bring bigger upside and more risk. Full breakdown in our Marathon Holotag guide.
| Rarity | Score target | Loss penalty |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 3,000 | 600 |
| Silver | 5,000 | 2,000 |
| Gold | 7,000 | 4,200 |
| Platinum | 10,000 | 8,000 |
| Diamond | 15,000 | 15,000 |
| Pinnacle | 20,000 | 20,000 |
Live Coverage Focus
We're prioritizing queue requirements, Holotag math, ladder structure, rewards, and leaderboard coverage as live Ranked information continues to populate across the site.
