Facechecks

One life, one opponent, no reset button.

What it is

A Facecheck is a direct duel. You are matched against one other player with the same loadout, and the result goes straight onto your record. There is no team to carry you and no economy to hide behind, which is why it is the cleanest read on raw mechanical skill the ladder has.

How the rating works

• You and your opponent start with identical gear, so the fight is decided by aim, movement and decision making rather than by who farmed more.
• Rating moves further when you beat someone rated above you and barely moves when you beat someone well below, so farming low rated opponents does not climb.
• Every result is recorded whether you like it or not. There is no option to discard a match after seeing it went badly.

Who it suits

Players who want to know exactly how good their aim is, with nothing else in the way.

Tiers and seasons

This ladder uses the same six tiers and the same two month season cycle as the rest of ranked, and it carries its own separate rating. The full tier table.
