How many grades are there in Halo Infinite?

Published in Halo Infinite Ranks 2 mins read

There are six main competitive grades, also known as ranks or categories, in Halo Infinite's multiplayer system.

These grades are designed to classify players' skill levels, mirroring a system seen in previous titles like Halo 5: Guardians. The ranking system undergoes a reset with each new season, encouraging players to re-engage and climb the ladder anew.

Understanding the Grade Structure

The six primary competitive grades in Halo Infinite are structured to provide a clear progression path for players. The first five of these grades are further subdivided into six sub-tiers, indicating incremental progress within each major category. For example, the lowest grade, Bronze, ranges from Bronze I to Bronze VI.

Here's a breakdown of the main grades:

Grade Name Sub-Tiers Description
Bronze I - VI Entry-level competitive play.
Silver I - VI Progressing beyond the initial stages.
Gold I - VI Mid-tier skill level.
Platinum I - VI Above average skill.
Diamond I - VI High-level competitive play.
Onyx N/A (typically) The highest competitive grade, representing elite players.

The first five grades (Bronze through Diamond) are each divided into six sub-tiers (e.g., Bronze I, Bronze II, up to Bronze VI). The highest grade, Onyx, typically operates as a single tier, often represented by a numerical Skill Rating (CSR) to denote precise placement among top players.

Competitive Season Resets

Similar to its predecessor, Halo 5: Guardians, Halo Infinite's competitive ranks are reset with the launch of every new season. This seasonal reset ensures a fresh competitive environment, allowing players to start on a more even playing field and test their skills against new challenges and meta shifts. It also encourages consistent engagement from the player base throughout the year.
