Proposal for a new rank band (Amended 2025/04/20)
Amended 2025/04/20: Added a 1st place ranking.
Amended 2025/04/07: Promotion to Master IV will be changed to the conventional rank point system instead of ranking

Setting the rank range as shown below will likely improve the health of the rankings compared to the current situation. However, please be careful that if you do not first improve the abnormal settings of your weapon, the same thing will happen again as before.
[Reason for changing]
- There are no measures to increase motivation for Master and Predator ranks, so the Predator rank system is not functioning properly.
-The value of higher rank bands has decreased due to instability caused by past rank band revisions. Therefore, a new rank band is being set even higher.
-We believe that the value of the previous ranking will be equivalent to the new ranking.
-In order to make it impossible to obtain a badge simply by reaching Master, it will be necessary to maintain rank even in the Master rank(Master Ⅲ or above). We do not know the current population of Master rank members, but we suspect that there will be no problem. If there is a problem, adjustments will be necessary.
-The naming of the new rank range is inspired by things related to space. I think it is not too far from the worldview of Apex. I also imagine that the players of the new rank range are beyond human.
[Other challenges]
-Ideally, we'd like to make obtaining rank points a zero-sum game for players in the Master rank range and above. Currently, we think this is difficult to implement. First of all, it is important to significantly increase the population of players in the higher ranks.
- Please make major changes to the badge designs for not only the new rank range but also the existing ranks. Make them cool enough that players will want to collect all the badges for all rank ranges.
-Design sense is very important. This is not only for rank but for all other factors. Hiring many people with great artistic design sense is the number one way to make a profit in Apex.
