Valorant "Rated" Ranked Play Guide: All Ranks, Badges And More

Valorant is a 5v5 tactical shooter with unique abilities for every Agent in the game. Each Agent is classified into a specific role that focuses on a particular aspect.

Understanding these roles properly will help players rank up quickly in Valorant quicker. At the same time, having a crisp aim with smooth mechanics will give you an edge in every fight.

So if you're tired of being stuck at low elo, playing ranked games without much improvement, then fret not for we have you covered.

Here is everything you need to know to improve and rank up swiftly in Valorant.

All Ranks And Badges

Valorant has eight tiers in its Ranked System with Iron being the lowest. In order to acquire a rank, players will first have to play a certain number of matches in Unranked and competitive mode.

Each rank tier has three sub-divisions, and Radiant (highest) is the only rank with a single tier.

The ranks are as follows:

  • Unranked
  • Iron
  • Bronze
  • Silver
  • Gold
  • Platinum
  • Diamond
  • Immortal
  • Radiant

Aiming

Aiming is perhaps the most important factor players need to focus on to improve in Valorant. The first thing they can do before jumping in a match is to head over to the practice range and figure out their sensitivity.

Aiming sensitivity makes all the difference in a gunfight. Choosing the settings which help you aim better will improve your gameplay exponentially.

Once players have figured out that bit, they can start shooting AI robots in the practice range. Focus on getting the one-tap headshots instead of speed.

The goal is to become more accurate with the least amount of crosshair repositioning. Hence, players need to first improve their accuracy and then focus on speed.

While practising with AI, players should focus on crosshair positioning, pre-firing, spray control, counter-strafing, tracking and micro-adjustments.

Doing these few routines for half an hour before getting in a ranked game will show results within a week.

It's all about incorporating that crisp aim consistently into your gameplay.
