How Ratings work in Control Apex Legends

In Apex Legends, avoiding death generally means avoiding losing the game. In Control mode, that isn’t really the case. Instead, avoiding death is all about preserving your Rating. Your Rating is per life and will grow as you help your team on their way to victory. You can view the current Ratings on the Rating Legend, but don’t get too caught up in the Ratings, focus on the game at hand.

Growing Your Rating

Your Rating grows each time you perform an action that helps your team without dying. These acts are as follows:

• Capture a Zone for your team
• Kill an enemy
• Assist a teammate in killing an enemy

As your Rating grows, there are rewards too. First of all, whoever has the highest Rating becomes the Ratings Leader, which is the Control mode equivalent to the Kill Leader. You will also upgrade your weapons as you get a higher rating, which is the main reason you’ll want to stay alive from a tactical standpoint. That said, from a glory standpoint, being the Rating Leader sure looks nice.
