The various General-grade ranks in Halo Infinite.

The ranking system in Halo Infinite is primarily focused on a player's per-playlist Competitive Skill Rank (CSR), and will feature a form of career rank in Season 04: Infection. The closest alternatives to the progression rank systems found in prior titles come in the form of Halo Infinite's Battle Pass system, wherein armor pieces can be unlocked via challenges.

Competitive Skill Ranks (CSR)

"CSR measures your ability against opponents of each skill level: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Onyx. Your rank improves when you perform better than expected. Play 10 matches in a ranked playlist to determine your starting CSR for the season."
— In-game description

Halo Infinite employs a competitive ranking system similar to that of the previous game, Halo 5: Guardians. When searching for matches in ranked playlists, players must complete 10 matches to be given a placement in the initial ranking structure, and from there can move up or down depending on performance.[1]

The ranks are divided into six categories, with the first five having six sub-tiers, as follows;

  • Bronze I-VI
  • Silver I-VI
  • Gold I-VI
  • Platinum I-VI
  • Diamond I-VI
  • Onyx I

As with Halo 5: Guardians, Halo Infinite's competitive ranks reset at the start of each new season, requiring players to complete placement matches and start from scratch each time.

Career rank is a new system for Halo Infinite, introduced with Season 04: Infection. It functions similarly to the career ranks found in Halo: The Master Chief Collection. All players begin with a base rank of Recruit, and proceed to gain XP from playing multiplayer, progressing through fourteen military ranks (themed after the UNSC rank structure) ranging between Private and General. Upon attaining the rank of General, their rank is reset back to Private, and the ranks change their colour from Bronze through Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Onyx. After finishing the rank of Onyx General, the player attains the final rank; Hero.[2]

Career ranks only track the progress of a player's playtime after the launch of Season 04 in June 2023, and do not retroactively complete. They are fully-independent of all competitive rank and Battle Pass-related features, will not reset when seasons change as to ensure the lifetime records of the player are kept. Likewise, career ranks have no bearing on the game's matchmaking algorithm. However, the career tracks do have exclusive player cosmetic unlocks tied to them in the form of emblems and nameplates.[2]
