What Is Halo Infinite?
This is a first-person shooter game that was developed by 343 industries, released in 2021, and published by Xbox Game Studios.

How does Halo Infinite Rank work?
In Halo Infinite, you get a tiered rank after you finish playing 10 ranked matches in the Rank Arena playlist. Your Competitive Skill Rank, CSR then raises when you win or lose a match. You climb ranks by winning lots of matches. The Competitive Skill Rank plays an important role in your ranking system. There are Ranked Arena Basics. In Ranked Arena, you start with a Battle Rifle instead of an Assault Rifle. Within the Ranked Arena, players can choose between 2 Ranked Queue i.e., the Solo/Duo and Open. The Solo/Duo allows only up to a two-person party unless you choose an input Keyboard /Mouse or Controller.
These input devices determine what your opponents and teammates would be using as well. The Open option under the Ranked Queue allows only up to 4 party sizes and has the input bar only at crossplay meaning keyboard and mouse would be mixed in controller players.
343 industries released an image of CSR emblems and nameplates. There are 31 ranks in total over 6 different tiers. These 6 tiers comprise bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, and onyx. The mentioned tiers ranks from bottom to top, i.e., bronze is the lower and the rest follows.
Each of the 5 tiers listed has 6 ranks within except Onyx which is at the top and has a single rank. You receive individual ranks within the 3 gameplay types: 1. Open multi-platform 2. Solo/Duo Controller and 3. Solo/Duo keyboard and mouse.
To begin ranking in these 3 gameplay types:
- You have to complete 10 ranked playlist matches to established your starting competitive skill rank which is Silver.
- Continue to play ranked matches to improve it.
How does Onyx rank work in Halo Infinite?
In Halo Infinite, there is no champion tier yet. Onyx is the only tier that has a single rank but has a score rating ranging from 1500 to 2300.
In Onyx is after D6(Diamond 6), you will enter Onyx either at 15:00 or 15:01. You don’t de-rank in Onyx.
The only way you can de-rank in Onyx is not when you lose a game but when another player in Onyx plays to get past your rank. Let’s say for example if you are in 15:01 then myself and three other people are playing, making us 4 in total then we can crack up to D6 to enter into Onyx, this means we are mostly going to take 15:00,01,02 and 03, so if you’re in one of those 4 slots then it is going to knock you back down into D6.
You will not be de-rank unless you don’t play and continue to level your Onyx rank.
The ranking system works basically on challenges not on playing the actual game.
Go to multiplayer and choose BOT BOOTCAMP, this BOOTCAMP makes you go against BOTS and not against real people.
Here are some steps to follow:
- Now go back to CHALLENGES,
- Click on TRUSTY SIDEKICK, you will see Kill enemy Spartans with the Sidekick Pistol-0/5, click on it. This means you have to kill 5 times, then you can have the challenge done.
- You get your points after Challenge is done.
How To Prepare for the Ranked Reset in Halo Infinite?
343 released the rank distribution of players which showed more players in Onyx than in Bronze. There were spikes in D1 which is the highest rank that you could probably achieve after your 10 placement matches.
This might be because they are too many players in Onyx probably because could be easy to achieve.
You may be bummed when a reset happens because you think about how you have to start all over again. Take this opportunity as a re-learning that will help you climb up to the top faster.

In Halo Infinite when you win, you will get a nice CSR boost. You need to focus on not dying and you need to play selfishly. You need to play objectively and with your team members. You have to play to win. Your position matters more than your accuracy, power weapons are also very relevant and then your map awareness comes down to how good you work with your team.
How to get to Diamond in Ranked Arena?
First, let’s start with your placement games. You need to play 10 games before getting placed. There are multiple factors in getting your rank.
First of all, is winning games but that is not the only thing when you even play all your rank.
You can also play the objective. Even if you are losing badly, don’t give up and do the best you can because it will improve your rank.
When you go to Ranked Arena, you can choose between Open rank and Solo/Duo queue. The difference is, in Open rank, you will encounter full parties or teams of 3. In Solo/Duo, you will only play against solos and duos. If you’re a solo or duo player playing in solo and duo queue, you will win more games.
To win in most of the ranked games modes, you need to frag out. This doesn’t mean you only need kills but assists are good as well.
Try staying with your team even if you don’t have any communication. Shooting the same enemy with a teammate will put them down very quickly.
Start with the BR and the power it packs is huge, if you hit four perfect shots, the enemy is dead.
You get a cool perfect medal. One of the most important things in the ranked arena is the power of weapons and items. Always play with your team.
