Warzone 2's Resurgence is a fan-beloved respawn-based battle royale mode which gained its popularity back in Warzone Caldera. Previously played in Rebirth Island, the game mode will now be available on Vondel and Fortune's Keep in Season 2.

How Skill Rating (SR) Works in Warzone Resurgence Ranked Play
As before, there are seven standard Skill Divisions (SD). When Ranked Play launches in Season 2, you begin at Bronze I and earn a Skill Rating (SR) based on your match performance. Your SD/SR from last year will not carry over.
- This is related to Placement, Kills, Assists, and Kills by your squad.
- As usual, the SR Points earned are increased based on the number of enemy squads remaining in your match.
- A Deployment Fee is deducted from your SR total at the start of each match once you reach Silver I Skill Division, and that fee increases the higher your Skill Division Tier is.
- At the end of each Season, you are set back three Tiers below where you finished in the previous season.
- Players Crimson II and above will be set back to Diamond I.
- SR Forgiveness, Demotion Protection, Squad Backout, Match Cancelling, and Suspensions are all included in this Mode, and RICOCHET Anti-Cheat will be enforcing a zero-tolerance policy related to cheating.
New Skill Rating Innovations and Alterations in Resurgence Ranked Play
Alteration — Rank Progression: As before, players progress their Skill Rating (“Rank”) by earning Stars, with up to three Stars being earnable per match. These placement Stars are adjusted for the lower squad count as follows:
- Place in the Top 8 of Squads: One Star
- Place in the Top 5 of Squads: Two Stars
- Finish 1st: Three Stars
Alteration — SR Placement: Tuning adjustments have occurred due to the lower squad count and faster Resurgence playstyle, resulting in the following SR rewards:
- Teams Remaining: 14 - SR = 0
- Teams Remaining: 10 - SR = 15
- Teams Remaining: 8 - SR = 30
- Teams Remaining: 6 - SR = 45
- Teams Remaining: 5 - SR = 60
- Teams Remaining: 4 - SR = 80
- Teams Remaining: 3 - SR = 100
- Teams Remaining: 2 - SR = 125
- Teams Remaining: 1 - SR = 150
Alteration — SR for Kills and Assists: The SR you receive for Kills and Assists has been tuned based on the lower number of teams remaining:
- Teams Remaining: 9+: SR Per Kill/Assist = 5, SR Per Non-Assisted Kill = 2
- Teams Remaining: 8: SR Per Kill/Assist = 7, SR Per Non-Assisted Kill = 3
- Teams Remaining: 3: SR Per Kill/Assist = 15, SR Per Non-Assisted Kill = 7
SR Deployment Fees per Match: This is unchanged.
Altered — Ranked Challenges: The Seasonal Kill and Placement Challenges you should be familiar with have been adjusted due to the faster pace and lower squad count of Resurgence. Expect these Ranked Play Challenges (with the rewards detailed):
- Finish in the Top 8, 25 times: “Melted” Large Decal
- Finish in the Top 5, 10 times: “Pro Issue” Striker SMG Blueprint
- Finish 1st: “Popped Off” Charm
- Get 50 Kills or Assists: “WZ Season 2 Competitor” Sticker
- Get 250 Kills or Assists: “WZ Ranked Play Season 2” Loading Screen
- Get 1,000 Kills or Assists: “WZ Season 2 Ranked Veteran” Weapon Camo
