Apex dive trails are back as a ranked reward, but there is a twist

Apex Legends will bring back awarding dive trails as a ranked reward in Season 25. However, this won't be based on your split and season end rank. This change is coming to support a brand new weekend ranked system, which is the evolution of the previous Ranked Rumble concept trialled a few seasons ago.

There will be a new Ranked Ladder, that will run most weekends. These will feature 100 players of a similar skill and you'll be playing ranked matches to earn points towards this leaderboard.

This brand new ranked system will give ranked some higher stakes, and bring back this exciting cosmetic. This will be a really rare dive trail, so an ultimate flex in your games.

Apex Season 25:

The ranked ladder system will operate across most weekends. It looks a lot like the Ranked Rumble system, with players competing separate from the main ranked system. You'll play standard ranked games, and your RP results will be counted towards your ladder of 100 players of a similar rank.

You can play ranked totally normally, and your best 10 games will count towards the ladder. This is true no matter how many you play so there is no punishment for playing a lot of games. Obviously, 10 games is still a lot of Apex. You'll need to lock in across weekends where these ladders are active in order to get your hands on the new Apex dive trails.

The new dive trails will be awarded to those who place consistently in the top 10% of their ladder consistently across a split.

There are also lots of other rewards avaliable through ladders. This includes things like Apex Packs and other cosmetic items.

The old Apex dive trails sometimes caused issues when equipped. Players might chase Masters or Predator ranked trails down. Thanks to the ladder system being subsets of all ranked, this won't be the case. It will be a solid flex without putting you in a specific group.
