Frequently Asked Questions
How many ranks are in Rainbow Six Siege?
R6 Siege has 8 rank tiers (Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Diamond, Champion) with 5 divisions each (V to I) for the first seven tiers. Champion is a single tier for the top ~0.3% of players. This gives 36 total rank divisions in the Ranked 2.0 system.
How does the R6 Siege ranking system work?
R6 Siege uses a hidden MMR (Matchmaking Rating) system. Your visible rank reflects your current MMR range. Winning matches increases your MMR; losing decreases it. The amount gained or lost depends on your performance (clutches, plant/defuse, kills) and the skill disparity between teams.
What is Ranked 2.0 in Rainbow Six Siege?
Ranked 2.0 was introduced in Operation Solar Raid (Year 7, Season 4) as a complete overhaul of the competitive system. It replaced the old Ranked with a new 8-tier system (Copper to Champion), removed ban-only operator bans, and implemented a seasonal rank reset that carries 50% of your previous MMR gain.
What is the average R6 Siege rank?
The average R6 Siege player sits in Gold III or Gold II. Silver and Gold together account for roughly 45% of the ranked player base. Reaching Platinum puts you in approximately the top 35β40% of players.
Do pro R6 Siege players play ranked?
Yes β SI (Siege Invitational) and Pro League players actively grind ranked to stay sharp and to qualify via regional ladders. Most Pro League players maintain Diamond or Champion rank, with NAL and EUL pros frequently placing in the top 0.1% of their region.
