XDefiant Ranked Mode Zero RP Issue Being Investigated, Ranked Roadmap Planned Features Listed
Those who jumped in to XDefiant’s Ranked mode as part of the Season 1 rollout, you might have experienced issues with how RP (Ranked Points) were being rewarded — more specifically, some players are getting zero (o) RP after completing a match, which is a big blow given the main reason to play the mode is to gain RP, move up the rank tiers.
This issue is currently being investigated, alongside other Ranked issues. This is something XDefiant Gameplay Designer Patrick “ACHES” Price acknowledged over on Twitter/X:
We’re aware of some instances were players are winning and being granted 0 RP and we are investigating.
But to be clear: If you leave a match at any point (during the lobby voting, when the match starts, right before the match ends) you will receive max RP loss. You are always…

We’re aware of some instances were players are winning and being granted 0 RP and we are investigating.
But to be clear: If you leave a match at any point (during the lobby voting, when the match starts, right before the match ends) you will receive max RP loss. You are always incentivized to stay in a game to lose the least RP. If teams are ever uneven 3:2 or worse you will lose no RP at all.
Also soon we will enable the matchmaking sanctions for leaving matches, so you will be temporarily banned from ranked matchmaking if you continue to leave games.
The cause of the issue was identified as well, and well, it seems players shouldn’t die when a match is about to end, or they will end up with zero RP.
We are aware of a bug that if you are on the winning team and dead at the end of the match you will get 0 RP.
We are working on a fix, but until then stay aliiiive!

Apart from this Ranked mode issue, Price also detailed some of the Ranked features the devs will implement in the mode soon via a quick roadmap of settings incoming at some point:
-Ability Limit (1 per player / per team)
-In Game Top 500 Leaderboard
-Rejoin (Limited time to join back in your game after a d/c)
-Unrestricted Ranked Loadouts (Have all guns/attachments useable, and different set of loadouts from Unranked)
-More robust sanctions including additional RP penalties
-Introducing more modes
-More rewards
+more
Hopefully, the fixes to Ranked are part of the emergency patch planned to be released due to the PS5 frame rate issue, as well as faction abilities being unusable in matches.
