Ranked
Ranked games only include balanced modes which will allow players to focus on the most fair and interesting matches.

Shootout: Tournament
6 teams of 2 players or 4 teams of 3 players fight against each other in a round-robin style tournament. The two teams with the most victories meet in the final to determine the winner of the tournament. If multiple teams have the same amount of victories, the finalists are determined by the best overall performance. A final fight takes place in the format of 3 rounds - up to two victories. Victory in a round can be achieved in two ways: Eliminating the enemy team, or if the victory condition is not met in the main round time, the overtime timer starts and activates an objective which needs to be held for a certain time. If the objective is not taken before the overtime ends, the round is a draw.

Teamfight: No one's left behind
2 teams of 5 players fight for victory in up to 7 rounds. The first team to score 5 round victories wins. If no team was eliminated during the main round time, the overtime timer starts and activates an objective in the center of the location which needs to be captured. The team that captures the point or finishes off the opposing team wins the round. If the winner hasn't been decided in overtime, a cleanup crew consisting of Scav Raiders in the first wave, and Killa together with Tagilla in the second wave is released into the Arena, who will hunt the surviving contestants until one of the teams is fully eliminated. Additionally, poisonous gas is released 30 seconds after the start of overtime, dealing 3 damage to all body parts every 3 seconds.

Gear presets
Assault is the most versatile class. Presets of this class have balanced equipment suitable for most combat situations. CQB is the most heavily armored class in the Arena. CQBs are characterized by their face shields and increased ammunition for their main weapons. Presets of this class are excellent in defending positions and prolonged firefights. Scout is a class for players who prefer high-risk, high-reward. Presets of this class are armed mainly with short-barreled SMGs with armor-piercing ammunition, but weak protection doesn't give you any room for a single mistake. Marksman is a class for long-range combat. Presets of this class often have powerful secondary weapons and reasonable armor protection. This highly specialized class is indispensable in outdoor Arenas. Ranked presets are given out for achieving a certain rank in the Arena. Presets given out for special achievements in the Arena.
