Solo Ranked Tier List
With ranked mode launching soon, choosing the right shell for your Holotag extraction targets is critical.
Thief
sits at S-tier for solo ranked — Light Carry passive reduces loot penalties, while the Drone active can steal Holotags from downed enemies at range. Perfect for hitting extraction targets and escaping.
Assassin
offers A-tier solo potential through Holotag theft specialization. Phase Shift provides untargetable repositioning, while Shadow Step keeps you undetected. High skill floor but massive carry potential.
Vandal
remains the best starting ranked shell at A-tier. Double Jump and MICRO JETS provide vertical escape options, while Combat Flow rewards aggressive plays. Works across all Holotag tiers.
Squad Ranked Meta
Destroyer
and
Triage
form the S-tier squad core. Destroyer's Force Slam forces Holotag drops from enemies, while Triage's Med Surge and SHAREWARE.EXE keep teams alive for consistent extractions.
Recon
provides A-tier squad value by tracking rival Holotag carriers with Tracker Drone. Knowing enemy positions is invaluable when defending extraction points.
Key Ranked Considerations
Dying loses both gear AND rank points, making survival-focused shells like Thief more valuable than pure combat shells. Rook works for learning ranked fundamentals, but specialists dominate higher tiers.
Avoid These Mistakes
Triage is D-tier solo — completely dependent on squad support. Assassin requires high mechanical skill — practice in casual before ranked. Always match your shell to your extraction strategy: Thief for hit-and-run, Destroyer for team fights.
