VALORANT Ranks
All nine VALORANT ranks from Iron to Radiant – how many tiers each has, how Rank Rating (RR) works and how to unlock Competitive.
VALORANT's Competitive mode has nine ranks: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Ascendant, Immortal and Radiant. The first eight each have three tiers (for example Gold 1, Gold 2, Gold 3), and Radiant sits alone at the top – 25 steps in total from Iron 1 to Radiant.
