'''Ranks''' were an integral Game Mechanic used for Matchmaking in the Trials in ''{{#Invoke:Utils|IconLink|Dead by Daylight}}''.

With [[Patch 5.2.0]], integrating the Skill-Based Matchmaking, '''Ranks''' became obsolete after '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|2|5 Years}}''' in the Game and were replaced with [[Grades]].


== Overview ==
[[File:Ranks.png|thumb|right|Original Lobby showing the Survivors' Ranks.]]
Both Survivors and Killers had a separate '''Rank''', which was shared amongst all Survivors and Killers respectively.<br>'''Ranks''' were used by ''Dead by Daylight's'' matchmaking system to match Players with others of the same '''Rank Group''' (or Crest colour), that is under ideal circumstances.<br>It was possible that a Lobby would 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.


== Changing Rank ==
A Player's '''Rank''' was determined by the amount of '''Pips''' (white tear-drop-shaped diamonds) one had obtained in a given Ranking Season, a system which is still in use for [[Grades]] as well.

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

Each '''Rank''' had a set amount of '''Pip Slots''' displayed beneath the '''Rank Number'''.<br>Filling all slots would increase one's '''Rank''', whereas losing a '''Pip''' when all slots were empty would decrease it.

'''Ranks''' could be increased all the way to '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|19|Rank 1}}''', at which point ranking would cease and '''Pips''' could only be kept or lost anymore.<br>
'''Ranks''' could also be decreased, but only down to '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|2|Rank 16}}''', after which de-pipping was no longer possible.<br>Players in-between '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|1|Rank 20}} and {{#Invoke:Utils|clr|2|Rank 16}}''' were only able to keep or gain additional '''Pips'''.<br>Purposeful de-ranking past '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|2|Rank 15}}''' was not possible.

=== Terminology ===
Due to the fact that ''Dead by Daylight's'' Ranking System progressed backwards in terms of the numbers (starting at Rank 20 and ending at Rank 1), specific terminology quickly emerged in the Community:
{| class="wikitable unsortable"
|-
! Terminology !! Meaning
|-
| "High Ranks" || '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|19|Red-coloured}}''' Ranks (4-1)'''
|-
| "High-Mid Ranks" || '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|4|Purple-coloured}}''' Ranks (8-5)'''
|-
| "Low-Mid Ranks" || '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|3|Green-coloured}}''' Ranks (12-9)'''
|-
| "Low Ranks" || '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|1|Brown-}} and {{#Invoke:Utils|clr|2|Yellow-coloured}}''' Ranks (20-17 & 16-13)'''
|-
! colspan="2" | [[File:Nothing.png]]
|-
| "Ranking Up" || Moving up to the next Crest Colour
|-
| "Ranking Down" || Moving down to the previous Crest Colour
|-
| "De-Ranking" || Purposefully losing or disconnecting from Trials to lower one's Rank
|-
! colspan="2" | [[File:Nothing.png]]
|-
| "Double-Pipping" || Gaining '''2 Pips''' after a Trial
|-
| "Pipping" || Gaining '''1 Pip''' after a Trial
|-
| "Safety Pipping" || Neither gaining nor losing a '''Pip''' after a Trial
|-
| "De-Pipping" || Losing '''1 Pip''' after a Trial
|}

=== Ranking ===

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

=== Emblem System ===
[[File:TallyScreen_rankingBar.png|thumb|right|300px|Ranking Bar displaying a ''Double Pip'' after obtaining '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|5|4 Iridescent Emblems}}''']]
:''Main article: [[Emblems]]''
Whether a Player gained, kept, or lost '''Pips''' was determined by their performance in the Trial, as judged by the '''Emblem System''' introduced in [[Patch 1.9.4]], and is also still in use for [[Grades]].

The Quality of an Emblem determined the '''Emblem Points''' it would add to the '''Ranking Bar''' displayed in the ''Tally Screen'' after a Trial:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Quality !! Emblem Points
|-
| '''None''' (no Emblem received) || 0 
|-
| '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|1|Bronze}}''' || 1 
|-
| '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|7|Silver}}''' || 2
|-
| '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|2|Gold}}''' || 3
|-
| '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|5|Iridescent}}''' || 4
|}

The '''Ranking Bar''' was segmented into '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|2|16 Subdivisions}}''', reflecting that in the best case scenario, '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|5|4 Iridescent Emblems}}''' would award '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|6|16 Emblem Points}}'''.<br>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]]:
{{Pip Conditions/Ranks}}


== Ranking Seasons ==
'''Ranks''' were only valid for one '''Ranking Seasons''', which lasted for '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|2|one month}}''', after which one's '''Rank''' was partially reset.<br>There were no rewards for reaching a high '''Rank''', despite there having been plans as early as July/August 2016.

=== Rank Reset ===
The '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|2|13th of every month}}''' marked '''{{#Invoke:Utils|clr|6|Rank Reset Day}}''', during which a Player's Survivor and Killer '''Ranks''' were partially reset; from [[Patch 3.4.0]] onwards, one was reset to the lowest '''Rank''' of the previous Crest Colour:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Pre Reset Rank !! Post Reset Rank
|-
! {{#Invoke:Utils|clr|1|Ranks 20-17}}
! {{#Invoke:Utils|clr|1|Rank 20}}
|-
! {{#Invoke:Utils|clr|2|Ranks 16-13}}
! {{#Invoke:Utils|clr|1|Rank 17}}
|-
! {{#Invoke:Utils|clr|3|Ranks 12-9}}
! {{#Invoke:Utils|clr|2|Rank 13}}
|-
! {{#Invoke:Utils|clr|4|Ranks 8-5}}
! {{#Invoke:Utils|clr|3|Rank 9}}
|-
! {{#Invoke:Utils|clr|8|Ranks 4-1}}
! {{#Invoke:Utils|clr|4|Rank 5}}
|}

Please refer to the Sub-Article in order to see the various changes to '''Ranks''' and the Ranking System throughout ''Dead by Daylight's'' history:

== Trivia ==
* Up to [[Patch 1.0.6]], there was no ''Safety Pip'', Players could only gain or lose a Pip, but not remain at the same Pip Level.
* In the Game's log files, '''Pips''' are referred to as ''"Skulls"''.
