Call of Duty: Warzone players know Verdansk is where heroes were made and stories were forged, but the legends will grow ever-larger now thanks to Ranked Play on the OG map.
Ranked Battle Royale did not exist the last time Warzone had Verdansk, so this is the first time that the competitive ladder mode will be available on the classic map that took the world by storm when Warzone launched in 2020.
In Warzone's Battle Royale Ranked Play, certain weapons and equipment are restricted, players gain score by picking up eliminations and placing high along with winning games, and is a different-feeling experience than normal games. CoD players are understandably hyped about Ranked in Verdansk, but it's currently M.I.A.
Here's everything there is to know about Warzone's Ranked Play is coming back to Verdansk.
Where is Ranked Play in Warzone?
Ranked Play in Warzone is currently offline at the start of season five in BO6, which added several new weapons and an important new contract.
Activision, along with Warzone developer Raven Software, has confirmed that Ranked Play will be coming back to Warzone and to Verdansk for the first time at a later date, supporting teams of three in a mode similar to Black Ops 6's Ranked Play, featuring skill divisions, skill rating, unlockable rewards, and a lot more.
When is Ranked Play coming back in Warzone?
Warzone Ranked Play is offline at season five launch, but will be coming back soon, Activision confirmed. The ranked mode is still missing several hours after the new season went live at 11am CT on Aug. 7, but it should be back up soon.
Until Ranked Play is back online, it's time to enjoy Verdansk in solos, duos, trios, and quads, or even mess around for fun in the Battle Royale Casual mode, but use your time wisely to get ready for ranked. Resurgence Casual is a new mode in the season that could be fun to warm up in, too.
Alongside Ranked Play's return, Verdansk is also getting an update at Stadium. The POI will now be able to open with a new contract that's shrouded in secrecy.
Season five of BO6 in Warzone also has special, exclusive rewards for ranking up in BR. Here's what you can get in season three, with new rewards added each season:
