What is CS2 Danger Zone?

CS 2 (CS:GO) Danger Zone is a battle royale mode that can be played either solo or in pairs with a teammate. If you are playing in single mode, then the maximum number of players on the map is 16, and if in duo, then there are 18 participants. The map always remains unchanged.

This mode has unique purchasing mechanics, map narrowing, and new types of weapons. The main goal of the mode is to remain the last living player on the map. When playing in a duo, only one living team member is enough to win.

This mode has its own rank system, which differs from the usual rank system in matchmaking.

How Does CS2 Danger Zone Ranking System Work?

There are a total of fifteen different ranks in the Danger Zone mode. The ranks are depicted in the style of wildlife and fauna. You can only get your rank by passing calibration. To pass calibration, you need to win three games in this mode.

The lower your rank, the easier it is for you to advance to the next one and vice versa. For example, if you have the rank of Sprinting Hare I and play in a team with a higher rank, you will be promoted even if you take fourth place. 

The matchmaking system here works quite strangely. The main problem is the lack of balance. Even if you have a middle rank, your opponents can always be Wildfire Wolf or Sprinting Hare II.

If you were completely inactive and your calibrated rank disappeared, then everything here works as in regular matchmaking. You need to win one game to get a rank back (often lower than before the inactivity).

Now, let’s consider things that can lead you to the promotion or degradation of rank.

Factors Affecting Danger Zone Rank Progression

It’s worth noting right away that it doesn’t matter how you play solo or in a party, the result is calculated equally. Here everything is a little cooler than in regular matchmaking where you just need to win. Here, many more factors influence the change in your rank.

Kills and Assists

The rule here is that the more, the better. The more impact you make towards victory – the faster your rank will rise. Kills have superiority over assists, and one kill is equivalent to approximately two assists. Here, everything will depend on the damage you contributed.

Wins and Losses

Of course, like in any other game mode, victories help you level up your rank. Here, it is considered a victory if you take a top 1-3rd place. In cases where the average rank of all players on the map is higher than yours, you can be promoted even if you take 4th place.

Deaths

That is a very important factor that directly affects changes in your rank. The fewer times you die, the better. Compared to kills, it is better to not die at all than to make 5 kills and have 2 deaths.

How to Achieve Higher Danger Zone Ranks

You won’t be surprised, but there is no miracle way to lower your rank in CS 2 (CS:GO) Danger Zone. Instead, we invite you to familiarize yourself with our recommendations and strategies that will definitely be useful to you.

Gameplay strategies and personal development

Be that as it may, this is still a shooter, so shooting skills are required here. If you can’t aim or shoot accurately, you should practice a little. Practice with different types of weapons and find the one you are most comfortable playing with.

Knowing the map is also an important feature. You must understand the approximate positioning of your enemies and the approximate positions in which you will play out in this or that situation. The map is large, so the ability to shoot with long-range weapons will be a good plus.

Communication and teamwork

Playing by yourself is much more difficult and much more boring. Find yourself a good teammate with whom you will be interested in playing. You must play as a team because if you play as solo players, your opponents will have a huge advantage. After all, there are two of them.

Good communication is the key to success. Agree on your moves and give information about your opponents. The more information you know, the easier it will be for you to make a decision. This way, the number of errors will be kept to a minimum.
