XDefiant Does Not Award Points in Ranked Mode: Ubisoft Comments on the Big Problem
XDefiant recently introduced Ranked mode but there is a problem: points are not awarded for victory in some cases; Ubisoft has commented on this situation.
XDefiant is slowly expanding and one of the latest novelties is the ranked mode, highly requested by players since the first game of the shooter activity. Unfortunately it seems that this has some problems as it does not award RP (Ranked Points, classified points).
Obviously this is a big problem, since the real big reason to play Ranked is to get the RP that allows you to rank up . Luckily, however, it seems that the situation is known to the development team and that they are looking into the issue.
XDefiant team comment
Patrick “ACHES” Price, Gameplay Designer on Ubisoft’s shooter , commented on the situation on Twitter, where he wrote: “We are aware of a few cases where players win but receive 0 RP and we are investigating. But to be clear: if you leave a match at any point (during the lobby vote, when the match starts, just before it ends) you will receive the maximum RP loss. You are always incentivized to stay in a match to lose the least amount of RP. If the teams are unequal, 3:2 or worse, you will not lose any RP. Additionally, we will soon activate abandonment penalties, where you will be temporarily banned from ranked matches if you continue to abandon matches.”

The problem also appears to be related to situations where you are part of the winning team but die at the end of the match: in this case the XDefiant player gets zero RP.
We also recall that XDefiant changed the progression speed after listening to fans .
