To increase your Valor rank in Destiny 2, you must complete matches within specific Crucible playlists. While every match completion contributes positively to your Valor progression, winning matches grants you more points.
Understanding Valor Rank Progression
Valor is a seasonal ranking system within Destiny 2's Crucible, the player-versus-player (PvP) arena. Accumulating Valor points allows you to advance through various ranks, earning rewards and demonstrating your dedication to competitive play.
How to Gain Valor Points
Your Valor rank increases directly through participation and performance in Crucible activities. The primary methods include:
- Completing Matches: Simply finishing a match in eligible Crucible playlists will award you Valor points.
- Winning Matches: Securing a victory in any eligible playlist provides a significant bonus to the Valor points you earn for that match.
Eligible Crucible Playlists
Valor points are accumulated by playing in the following Crucible playlists:
- Quickplay: These are often less structured, unranked matches designed for casual play.
- Competitive: This playlist offers a more structured, skill-based experience, though Valor is still gained here alongside Glory rank.
- Weekly Rotating Playlists: Destiny 2 frequently features various unique Crucible modes that rotate on a weekly basis. Participating in these will also contribute to your Valor rank.
Tips for Efficient Valor Gain
To maximize your Valor gains, consider the following:
- Focus on Wins: While all completions grant Valor, consistently winning matches is the fastest way to progress through the ranks due to the bonus points awarded.
- Play Regularly: The more matches you complete, the faster your Valor will accumulate. There are no daily or weekly caps on Valor gain.
- Utilize Double Valor Events: Occasionally, Bungie hosts events where Valor gains are doubled or even tripled, providing excellent opportunities for rapid rank progression. Keep an eye on in-game announcements for these events.
