Efficient Ways to Rank Up and Season Rewards List

This article explains how to raise your season rank in Knives Out. It also covers how to protect your rank, rewards, how to view your rank, and the rank rewards.

How to Efficiently Raise Your Rank

Earn Rank Points in Normal Battles

The best way to earn rank points is by playing "Normal Battles." In each match, points are calculated based on three factors: individual rank, team rank, and number of kills. If you get many kills and win, it's possible to earn over 100 rank points in a single match.

Recommended: Wilderness Land or Solitary Island Operation!

Wilderness Land and Solitary Island Operation have shorter match times, making it easier to earn rank points efficiently compared to other maps. However, Solitary Island Operation cannot be played in single mode.

Aim to be in the TOP 10

By focusing on your ranking, you can earn a certain amount of score even without getting many kills. It's also a good strategy to avoid hot drop zones, gather enough supplies, and then engage in fights.

Earn Kills

The rank points you earn increases with each kill. If you are confident in combat, land in a hot drop zone and secure kills early on. However, this also increases the risk of dying quickly.

Earn Score in Leisure Mode "Game of Three Bodies"

Besides normal battles, you can earn rank points in the leisure mode, 'Game of Three Bodies'. This mode has fewer participants than normal matches, and since there's no need for transport plane travel or supply gathering time, match times are shorter. The amount earned per match is small, but it's recommended for those who want to earn score steadily, even if in small increments.

Use Rank Score Acceleration Cards

▲Only one of each can be purchased weekly from their respective shops.

Using a Rank Score Acceleration Card increases the rank score earned after a battle by 10-30% for 3 matches. Rank Score Acceleration Cards can be obtained as Battle Pass rank-up rewards, and can also be purchased periodically from the Corps Shop or Exchange Shop.

How to Protect Your Rank

Rank Protection Mechanic

When your rank reaches Diamond or higher, rank protection is activated, preventing your rank from dropping for a certain number of times. Even if your rank protection uses reach 0, you can recover uses by earning survival score, which is calculated based on survival time in each match.

Use Rank Score Protection Cards

By using a Rank Score Protection Card, you can maintain your current rank score even if your battle performance is poor and would normally cause a decrease. If your score becomes negative, it significantly reduces the efficiency of ranking up, so it's advisable to use these cards regularly.

Details of Rank Points

Kill Points

Rank points are added for each player killed, but the points per kill decrease as your rank increases.

Collect Competition Coins and Exchange Them for Rare Items

Competition Coins can be obtained from rank rewards and PEAK Battle rewards. These are currency that can be spent in the Competition Shop, and by collecting coins, you can also obtain exchange tickets for gold-frame outfits, weapons, and vehicles.

What is Rank?

Promote by Earning Score in Normal Battles

▲All "Normal Battles" are ranked matches.

Rank is determined by rank points earned by playing normal matches and some leisure modes. By achieving higher placements in battles or killing many enemies, you can earn a large amount of rank points, making it easier to rank up.

How to View Rank

By tapping "S33" (the number varies by season) at the bottom of the screen, you can check details about your current rank tier and obtainable rewards for the current season. Rank is purely a reflection of individual performance, and there is no overall server-wide ranking shared among all players.

*Rankings exist among friends and within combat zones.

Order of Ranks

There are a total of 9 ranks, from Bronze to Legendary War God. Each rank tier also has sub-tiers from I to V. After reaching the highest sub-tier within a rank and earning more rank points, you can be promoted to the next rank.

Benefits of raising rank

Receive Limited-Edition Outfits and Competition Points

By raising your rank, you can obtain luxurious rewards such as season-limited outfits. In higher rank tiers, you can also receive Competition Points, which can be saved up to obtain exchange tickets for gold-frame skins.

Gain Eligibility to Participate in Wilderness PEAK Battle

When your rank reaches Diamond or higher, you become eligible to participate in the 'Wilderness PEAK Battle,' which is held daily from 18:00 to 2:00 (Saturdays and Sundays from 14:00 to 2:00) for a limited time. PEAK Battle results do not affect your rank.

When Your Rank Doesn't Increase?

Does Not Increase During Season Transition

There is a transition period between seasons, and during this time, your rank will not increase even if you play normal battles. Be aware that you cannot raise your rank for a season that has already ended.
