Rank



Rank is an integral matchmaking-mechanic for the Trials in .

Overview
Both Survivors and Killers have a separate Rank, which is shared amongst all Survivors and Killers respectively. Rank is used by Dead by Daylight's matchmaking system to match Players with others of the same Rank Group (or Crest colour) under ideal circumstances. It is possible that a Lobby will end up featuring Players of different Rank Groups, depending on outside factors such as amount of Players currently online in a given matchmaking region, time of day, etc.

Rank
A Player's Rank is determined by the amount of Pips (white tear-drop-shaped diamonds) one has obtained in a given Ranking Season.

Pips are either gained, lost, or kept at the current number depending on one's performance in ranked Trials (Custom Games have no effect on Pips), as determined by the amount of gained Emblem Points (see Emblems or below).

Each Rank has a set amount of Pip Slots displayed beneath the Rank Number. Filling all slots will increase one's Rank, whereas losing a Pip when all slots are empty will decrease it.

Ranks can be increased all the way to , at which point ranking will cease and Pips can only be kept or lost anymore. Ranks can also be decreased, but only down to , after which de-pipping is no longer possible. Players in-between  and  are only able to keep or gain additional Pips. Purposeful de-ranking past  is not possible.

Terminology
Due to the fact that Dead by Daylight's Ranking System progresses backwards in terms of the numbers (starting at Rank 20 and ending at Rank 1), specific terminology quickly emerged in the Community:

Ranking
After a Trial has concluded, the number of obtained or lost Pips is added to or subtracted from the Player's Rank (unless one Safety-Pipped).

Emblem System

 * Main article: Emblems

Whether a Player gains, keeps, or loses Pips is determined by their performance in the Trial, as judged by the Emblem System introduced in Patch 1.9.4.

The Quality of an Emblem determines Emblem Points it will add to the Ranking Bar displayed in the Tally Screen after a Trial:

The Ranking Bar is segmented into ', reflecting that in the best case scenario, ' will award . How many Emblem Points are necessary to pass the thresholds for a Safety Pip, Single Pip, or a Double Pip, is determined by the Pip Conditions, introduced with Patch 2.6.0:
