Guidelines regarding unique property adjustments and procedures used when setting up maps for Ranked modes.

This article outlines the guidelines for object property deviations and specific setup procedures required to accommodate ranked competitive playstyles on a map.

Ranked sandbox behavior

Any official "Ranked" mode automatically adjusts the sandbox on the map so that all item spawners have the "Static Selection" property forcefully Enabled. This results in the "Class" property being ignored, and the Weapon/Equipment/Grenade/Vehicle set on the spawner only spawning that item instead of picking by random from the item options in the selected Class.

A Weapon Rack with the following properties will spawn a BR75 in Ranked modes, and a CQS48 Bulldog or Heatwave in non-Ranked modes: * Weapon: BR75 * Static Selection: Disabled * Class: Shotgun

Standard spawners

Item spawners standard for Ranked modes:

• Weapon Rack
