Ranking question

So first question is how do u even rank up or down. I never really payed much attention to rank up until a month ago. Now that ive noticed it and wanted to work on it its hard af. Well as killer i think its harder than survivor. I can get sacrificed do two gens and no unhook and still pip up at least 2. If I have a game where I escape and have done the gens ill gain a whole new rank. I dont often play survivor tho maybe it's harder as you progress. But as a killer its like you can hook three survivors hit generators not camp and still depip. I can't get past rank 13 and thats if I tunnel slug and camp. and its kinda gets frustrating when your constantly teamed up against 4 swf that range be tween 10-1 even when. Im at level 15. Idk just also wanted to vent a little but can anyone answer how you rank up and down.

On a different topic. What are dedicated servers and what do they do for the game

    Ranking up requires you to reach certain thresholds of emblem points, and different actions help upgrade different emblems. It's really complicated to try to explain it in detail, but in general terms:

    As survivor, complete generators, don't get downed, help your teammates, and escape chases to improve your emblems.

    As killer, stop generators from finishing, sacrifice survivors, prevent them from healing, and down survivors in a chase.

    Doing these will increase the quality of emblems and help you rank up.


    As for dedicated servers, they are servers that players connect to in order to play the game, rather than connecting directly to other players. These servers host the connection, so worse connections end up being less of a problem than they were on the peer-to-peer system. Before servers, playing against a killer with bad connection could make the game entirely unplayable due to rubberbanding, etc.
