Introduced in Dead by Daylight’s newest patch update, Grades will replace the old Ranks and represent a new ranking rewards system for each Season in DBD.

Dead by Daylight Rank Grades, Qualities, and Levels

Grades come in five Qualities and are divided into four Levels. Similar to Ranks, Grades progress backward in their numbering, with each Quality ranging from Level IV, to Level I. Ash IV being the lowest Grade and Iridescent I being the highest. Listed below are Dead by Daylight’s new Grade Qualities and Levels, next to its Rank numbers. 

Grade Qualities and Levels

  • Ash IV - Rank 20Ash III - Rank 19Ash II - Rank 18Ash I - Rank 17

  • Bronze IV - Rank 16Bronze III - Rank 15Bronze II - Rank 14Bronze I - Rank 13

  • Silver IV - Rank 12Silver III - Rank 11Silver II - Rank 10Silver I - Rank 9

  • Gold IV - Rank 8Gold III - Rank 7Gold II - Rank 6Gold I - Rank 5

  • Iridescent IV - Rank 4Iridescent III - Rank 3Iridescent II - Rank 2Iridescent I - Rank 1

Grades are determined by the number of points in progression (Pips) the player obtains in a Ranking Season. Depending on the player’s performance during Ranked Trials, Pips can be lost, gained, or kept at their current number.

Dead by Daylight Grade Reset Rewards

On the 13th of every month, players have a grade reset, which comes with a reward. Because grades never go down, getting a good reward from a grade reset is about consistency. If you keep playing, you’ll get to a grade that gives more Bloodpoints, even if you’re usually bad.

The Grade rewards work this way:

  • Ash IV to Ash I - 10,000 BloodpointsBronze IV to Bronze I - 30,000 BloodpointsSilver IV to Silver I - 100,000 BloodpointsGold IV to Gold I - 150,000 BloodpointsIridescent IV - 200,000 BloodpointsIridescent III - 210,000 BloodpointsIridescent II - 225,000 BloodpointsIridescent I - 250,000 Bloodpoints

Players may earn grade rewards from being a killer and a survivor because killer grades and survivor grades are separate.
