Warzone Season 3 marks the first reset in Ranked Play Resurgence, leaving many players wondering how their progress is affected. So, here’s everything you need to know about the Warzone Ranked Play reset.

The Warzone Season 3 update brings some major changes to Ranked Play Resurgence, the game’s main competitive mode. Not only is the location switching from Fortune’s Keep to the returning Rebirth Island map, the patch also marks the first progress reset.

If you’re wondering how this impacts you and your Skill Division and Rank, here’s everything you need to know about how the Warzone Ranked reset works.

How does Ranked Resurgence reset work in Warzone?

The Warzone Ranked Play reset knocks players down by three Tiers at the start of each new season. This works out at one entire Skill Division and is based on where you finished once the update goes live, not your highest placement through the entire season.

Check out a full breakdown of how the Warzone Ranked Play reset affects your Skill Division below, as confirmed in the official Resurgence Ranked blog:

Bronze → Bronze 1
Silver 1 → Bronze 1
Gold 1 → Silver 1
Platinum 1 → Gold 1
Diamond 1 → Platinum 1
Crimson → Diamond 1
Iridescent → Diamond 1
Top 250 → Diamond 1

The Warzone Ranked reset doesn’t affect your Rank in any way. These are carried between updates, so you can pick up exactly where you left off before Season 3, just like in MW3.

While some may be frustrated to see some of their hard work undone, keep in mind that Demotion Protection will kick for your first three matches of a new season. So, there’s less chance of you slipping further back, even as high-skill players mix with lower-skill players in the post-update scramble.

The decision to set players back with each season is designed to ensure that everyone always has something to work towards, even those in the Top 250 who may have stopped playing in an effort to preserve their placement.
