What's the difference between Ranked and Unranked Multiplayer in Backpack Battles?

While Multiplayer is the only way you can play Backpack Battles, in regards to the amount of players interacting, you do have a couple of other options of game modes. Ranked and Unranked are different game types that alter the amount of pressure exerted on the player and the amount of expertise required.

In Unranked battles, you play against other players in a relaxed mode that only aims to get you more trophies and allow you to practice. When entering Ranked mode, you have a specific score that goes up or down with each battle. This style is much more competitive and can be too stressful for most new players.

How does Multiplayer work in Backpack Battles?

Multiplayer in Backpack Battles works a bit differently than in other games with traditional co-op and multiplayer capabilities enabled. Instead of fighting against other players live, you're playing against historical versions of their builds. But what does this mean?

Are you playing against real people in Backpack Battles?

Yes, you are playing against real people in Backpack Battles, but not a live version of them. Instead, you're pitted against a board that they entered battle into with someone else previously. This means that when you enter a battle, the way your board looks right then will later be an opponent against someone else in-game.
