Editing Rank (Halo Wars 2)

{{Title|''Halo Wars 2'' multiplayer ranks}}
'''Game rank in ''Halo Wars 2''''' is the rank given to a player in-game. ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' offers two kinds of ranking scheme; a Competitive Skill Rank (CSR) similar to ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''{{'}} Arena and an XP-based Spartan Rank more related to systems seen in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''{{'}}s updated [[Rank (Halo: The Master Chief Collection)|rank scheme]] or [[Rank (Halo: Reach)|that seen]] in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.{{Ref/Site|Id=20Q|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/halo-wars-2-twenty-questions|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Wars 2: Twenty Questions}}

==CSR==
{{Main|Rank (Halo 5: Guardians)}}
CSR takes the form of a [[season]]al league structure, with a very similar organisation to the [[Rank (Halo 5: Guardians)|system]] employed in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''.

==Spartan Rank==
Spartan Rank is an XP-based rank scheme that levels a player up based on XP accumulated and gametime played. There are 99 levels to achieve, with each level-up earning the player a [[Blitz]] pack. XP can be gained by playing all gamemodes (such as [[campaign]], [[Terminus Firefight]], non-competitive playlists and others), and is not indicative of a player's skill level.{{Ref/Reuse|20Q}}{{Ref/Note|All XP data listed in the table is taken from the public ''Halo Wars 2'' API, accessible [https://developer.haloapi.com/ here].}}

Each rank is accompaned by a military rank from the [[UNSC rank structure]], though the titles themselves change once every other level (IE a player is ranked as an Army Private at Rank 7, and is changed to a Corporal when they hit Rank 9). At launch, there were only 50 ranks available to achieve, with "6th Star" being the final attainable unlock. In the [[Season 8 (Halo Wars 2)#November balance patch notes|November 10, 2017 balance patch]], an additional 49 ranks were added into the game to unlock; ranks 51-98 simply retain the title of "6th Star", with rank 99 being the title of [[Reclaimer]].{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/38bd6e2ebbb14e5b9b359bb029588800/topics/balance-update--nov-10-updated-nov-17/9f822341-5545-43cb-9891-10ed97b8d99a/posts?page=1|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Balance Update- Nov. 10 (Updated: Nov 17)}}

===Cut ranks===
Within the ''Halo Wars 2'' game files, there exists an unused alternate ranking system. Unlike the UNSC military ranks shown in the table above, these take the form of [[Banished]] ranks, and are listed as follows;{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://old.reddit.com/r/HaloStory/comments/kruhmq/random_cutunused_lore_in_halo_wars_2_files/|Site=Reddit|Page=Random cut/unused lore in Halo Wars 2 files}} Due to the ranks being cut from the game, they only cover the original levels 1-50 available in the launch of ''Halo Wars 2'', and were not updated to include ranks 51-99.
