Marathon Ranked Matchmaking
How Marathon Ranked beta matchmaking works: Runner Level 25, Low Stakes vs High Stakes, gear ante thresholds, and all crew sizes matched together.
Queue requirements
Bungie says Ranked beta requires Runner Level 25. Once you qualify, your crew must also meet the equipped gear value ante for the queue you choose.
Low Stakes vs High Stakes
| Queue | Gear ante | Holotag requirement | First weekend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low Stakes (Ranked) | 3,000 | Bronze | Yes |
| High Stakes (Ranked+) | 10,000 | Platinum | No |
All crew sizes are matched together
The new Ranked article does not split queues into solo-only and squad-only pools. Instead, Bungie says all crew sizes are matched together, so solo players, duos, and larger crews all enter the same Ranked matchmaking environment.
Weekend availability
Ranked beta runs on weekends during Season 1. The first weekend opens on Perimeter and only enables Low Stakes.
