Rank is not account level. Rank is not just time played. It reacts to match impact: combat, objectives, support, EV/C4, defuses, objective stops and win pressure.

?
Recent eligible matches show field pressure below the player's expected share.
PsihoDel_im MaKtRaXeR is the kind of player who can make late objective moments uncomfortable. This player can slow a push, break a late play, and give the team a way back into a round. When the obj work rises with the useful minutes, this player becomes easier to trust in close rounds. There is team value here when the good moments also bring more obj work and support value.

How DB Ranked reads your games
What is DBRanked? Who runs this?
DBRanked is an independent, fan-built competitive ladder for Dirty Bomb — built, run, and funded by one merc from the community. It is not affiliated with Splash Damage. The game stopped being maintained; the field didn't. This board exists so the mercs still fighting have a ladder worth fighting on.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Nothing to install, nothing to run, nothing to connect. DBRanked never touches your machine, your game, or your account — it reads publicly available match telemetry and nothing else. If a site claiming to be us ever asks you to install something, it isn't us.
Does DBRanked affect my in-game stats or account?
Never. The system is read-only by design. It cannot modify, touch, or interfere with anything in the game — it only watches and ranks.
How is this different from DBStats?
DBStats shows lifetime raw numbers. DBRanked is the competitive layer built on top of the living field: monthly seasons, placement, ranks, signal rules, a board that responds every 20 minutes. One is an archive. This is a ladder.
How do I get on the ladder?
Play. There is no signup, no registration, no application. The engine discovers active mercs on its own and opens a dossier automatically. Fight scored games and the system finds you.
Is Dirty Bomb even still alive?
Alive enough to fight on. Quieter than the old days — but the mercs still here are the ones who never stopped loving this game, and now there's a live ladder under them. The board fills with one kind of player: the ones who came back. Be one of them.
The ladder just opened. Does being early matter?
More than it will again. Right now the top of the board is being claimed for the first time, by whoever shows up and fights for it. Give it a season and those slots are defended by mercs with the deepest proven records on the field. Founding names are remembered — and there's exactly one window to become one.
I haven't played in years. Do I grind up from the bottom?
No. The first time the system scores you, it reads your full lifetime field record and places you from it — you don't start at the floor, you start where your history says you stand, then prove it from there. The years you already put in aren't gone. They're your opening position.
Can someone take my place on the board?
Always. The board shows the mercs directly above and below you — the ones hunting your slot and the ones you're hunting. They don't wait. Every 20-minute update you sit out is another window someone else spends proving into your space. Rank here is held, not owned.
Does any of this last, or does it reset?
Ranks reset each season. The record doesn't. What you do is written into your dossier permanently, and the rare command citations the system issues for exceptional records never expire, can't be bought, and can't be requested. Seasons end. What you proved on the field stays on file.
What stops cheaters from ruining it?
The system watches for play that doesn't add up, and command reviews the evidence before anything is final. Confirmed cheaters aren't quietly deleted — they're quarantined and left on the board as a marked warning. The field remembers who fought fair. It remembers who didn't, too.
Why chase a rank in a game this old?
Because nobody hands it to you. No clan to carry you, no queue luck to thank, no shop to buy your way up. Every point on this board is something a merc earned with their own hands, in a game the rest of the world wrote off. That's exactly what makes it worth holding.
I changed my in-game name — do I lose my rank?
No. Your dossier follows your contract, not your name. Rename as often as you like; the system already knows who you are.
Can a fresh account just smurf to the top?
Fresh contracts are profiled like everyone else — and the engine pays particular attention to accounts whose play doesn't match their age. Placement gates visibility, and the field has long memory. Climb honestly; it's faster.
Can rank be bought, requested, or gifted?
No. Nothing on DBRanked is purchasable — not rank, not RR, not honors. The rare command citations that exist are written by the system and signed by command. They cannot be requested, and asking for one is the most reliable way to never receive it.
Who decides the rules? Can they change?
Command does, and yes — the ladder is alive and its laws evolve with the field. Every rule change ships publicly in System Updates. What never changes: the base RR formula isn't for sale, isn't negotiable, and applies to everyone equally.
Can I remove my profile from DBRanked?
Yes. The ladder ranks the public field, but the field is made of people. If you want your dossier removed, write to command at info@dbranked.com and it will be handled — no forms, no fight.
How season rank works
Every season starts fresh. Everyone begins Unranked. After 2 valid scored updates, the player receives a normal season rank and can enter the leaderboard under the same eligibility rules as other ranked players. Players still completing placement remain part of the season comparison pool.
A ranked player with no valid scored update from their own gameplay for more than 30 days becomes Lost Signal: rank history stays saved, but the live leaderboard slot is released.
What is a valid scored update?
A valid scored update is tracked gameplay that passes the scoring rules, not simply a timer tick or page refresh. 2 valid scored updates unlock your first rank; later scored updates refine your rating and maintain your live signal. The initial baseline does not count, and idle timestamps do not earn placement progress.
What is Skill RR?
Skill RR is the player's live season rank score. It decides the public tier, promotion distance, danger zone, and leaderboard order. Higher Skill RR means the player is holding a stronger place in the active season field.
How do I climb?
Climbing means your games create more useful team value than the players fighting for the same rank space. Useful value is not only kills. Dirty Bomb rewards rounds: combat pressure, obj work, support, stops, wins, trades, revives, plants, defuses, EV/C4 work, and pressure that helps the team move or hold the objective. Every match is weighed on its own now - a hard push for the team lifts you, and a game spent coasting or padding stats without helping the round pulls you down just as plainly. Play for the win, not the scoreboard.
What is Impact?
Impact is what your own latest scored game did for the rank. Positive impact means your game gave the rank useful value. Negative impact means the game left value on the table. A zero impact row usually means the player did not create a new personal scored movement in that 20-minute update.
Why can Skill RR move when I did not play?
The board is live. Other players are fighting for the same rank space. If they move around you, your Skill RR can open slightly or get pushed slightly even while your own game stats stay the same. This is field movement, not your own valid scored update.
What is Last 6 games?
Last 6 games is short recent form from the player's last active scored games. Idle update windows do not count. It shows whether the player is heating up, holding, or under pressure in real play.
What is Rank pressure?
Rank pressure is the fight for space on the ladder. "Others pushed -12 RR" means nearby players made the rank space harder during the recent active window. "Field opened +8 RR" means the ranked field moved in the player's favor.
What is Idle field shift?
Idle field shift is movement that happened while the player had no new scored game. It is not the player's own performance. It does not keep Active Signal alive, does not start Rank at Risk, and does not count as proof.
What is Lost Signal?
Lost Signal means a ranked player has not recorded a valid scored update for more than 30 days. Rank and Skill RR history remain saved, but the live slot is released until the return-proof rules are met. The monthly rule means a rolling 30-day window, not a calendar-month reset.
What is Rank at Risk?
Rank at Risk starts when a Lost Signal player returns with a valid scored update. A 7-day proof window opens. The player needs at least 2 valid scored updates, but can play more. If they reach 6 valid scored updates, proof can finish early. The new live rank is based on last proven RR corrected by fresh proof, not automatically restored from the old rank.
Do I become Unranked if I stop playing?
No. Unranked means you have not completed placement yet. If you already earned rank and later lose signal, the correct state is Lost Signal: your last proven rank stays saved, but your live rank slot is released after full activation.
Do I start from Bronze when I return?
No. You do not restart from Bronze automatically. When you return after Lost Signal, Rank at Risk begins. Your next live rank is based on your last proven RR corrected by fresh proof-window performance.
What are Climb meter and Danger meter?
Climb meter shows how close the player is to the next rank band. Danger meter shows how close the player is to the lower edge of the current band. Promotion push means close to moving up. Danger zone means close to slipping down.
What are the engine stats?
Combat engine means fight pressure: kills, trades, damage pressure, and fights that make space. Obj pressure means direct round work around EV, C4, plants, defuses, delivery, repair, escort, and contests. Team support means revives, assists, and team actions that keep the wave alive. Clutch stops mean late stops around plants, defuses, EV fights, and round-saving moments.
What is Playstyle?
Playstyle is the strongest match role currently visible from the player's stats. Combat players create fight pressure. Objective players move the round. Support players keep the team alive. Clutch players show up around stops and swing moments. Balanced players bring value in several lanes.
What is Ranked Read?
Ranked Read is the positive player bio on the profile. It describes how the player helps a team win rounds. It is made to be readable and shareable, while still being based on the player's real signals.
What is Coach Read?
Coach Read is the practical game plan for the next game. It looks at what helped and what needs more attention, then turns it into Dirty Bomb advice: play closer to obj, keep the wave alive, trade cleaner, protect plants, stop defuses, revive, contest, or turn pressure into space the team can use.
What is Ladder track?
Ladder track is a secondary running track shown for context. Skill RR is the public season rank number. Ladder track is not the player bio, not the player's potential, and not the number used for the public tier display.
What is Peak form?
Peak form shows the best recent season level the player has already demonstrated on the ranked view. It is there to show what the player has reached when their strongest games came together.
How many updates do I need to get a rank?
You need 2 valid scored updates in the current season. At 2/2, you receive a normal rank and can enter the leaderboard, with the same activity and eligibility rules as other ranked players. Before that, you are Unranked. An update is a scored gameplay window, not necessarily one match. The initial baseline and idle timestamps do not count.
When does this season end?
Season II has been extended: July-December 2026, ending December 31, 2026 at 23:59:59 UTC. Your existing season scores and history continue; there is no October reset. Season III begins January 1, 2027, with the normal three-month cadence after this one-off extension.
When will Hunt the Witch return?
Hunt the Witch remains paused. Its existing rest period has been extended from 100 to 1,000 days. This does not change normal ladder scoring or remove any saved event history.
What does History show?
History is the player's ranked trail. It shows Skill RR movement, personal impact, field movement, and available exact breakdowns for scored games. Use it to see why the profile moved, not just where it landed.
I have low rank, now what?
Low rank does not mean you are a bad player. It means your recent games show places where you can create more team value. Open your profile, read Coach Read, and focus the next game on the clearest path: obj, revives, trades, stops, plants, defuses, or cleaner fights with the team.
What happens when a cheater is caught?
When verified evidence confirms unfair play, the contract is placed under Integrity Quarantine: the dossier is stripped, the rating is locked by command, and the player stops occupying any rank slot — the field closes around them as if they were never there, and everyone they were ranked above moves up automatically. The quarantine label on their profile is permanent unless overturned by command.
And the mercs who had to share a server with them? The system sees those sessions and credits Hazard Pay — an automatic Skill RR compensation, marked on your profile. You never need to report anything or claim anything; it simply arrives. The amounts, timing, and detection rules are deliberately not published, and seeking out contaminated lobbies earns nothing extra. Fight your normal games — the system has the rest.
How does DBRanked detect cheaters?
The engine flags. Command convicts. The system continuously profiles every tracked contract's field signature, and play that doesn't belong to honest hands raises its own file — silently. Statistical anomalies alone never quarantine anyone: a verdict is only stamped after the flagged play has been verified against evidence at command level.
That's also your protection — an unusual stat line, a hot streak, a smurf-level month will never get an honest merc quarantined. Evidence convicts, nothing else. And the methods themselves stay sealed: every detection rule we publish is a rule someone learns to play around. If you fight clean, none of this concerns you.
What should I play more?
Your profile tells you. If Obj pressure is low, play closer to EV/C4, plants, defuses, repair, delivery, escort, and contests. If Team support is low, stay closer to teammates and add revives, assists, ammo, health, and trades. If Combat engine is low, take cleaner fights with the wave. If Clutch stops are low, respect late-round moments and stay alive near the win condition.
