Entwickler Naughty Dog hat gestern bekannt gegeben, ein neues Update für den Multiplayer zu Uncharted 4: A Thief's End veröffentlicht zu haben. Unter anderem wird damit ein Hardcore Modus im Survival Modus integriert. Die vollständigen Patch Notes könnt ihr euch hier ansehen.
Classic Mode Returns to The Beta Test Playlist
Back by popular request, Classic Mode has returned to the Beta Test Playlist in Multiplayer. For those who missed it when it first launched in November, Classic is a back-to-basics mode that focuses on core combat and movement—there’s no in-game store, Mysticals, or Sidekicks. Find it in the Multiplayer playlist menu today.
New Ranked Season
For the competitive crowd, the next Ranked season has begun, introducing new rewards and improvements to progression. This season, you’ll have a chance to earn a new set of Ranked weapon skins to complement the Ranked Trucker Hats, Shades, and Bandanas offered in prior seasons. What’s more, this season, we’re awarding a special Ranked Huzzah taunt for those that reach Gold rank or higher. Alongside new rewards, we are also improving the Qualifier and Master Rank systems – Qualifiers will focus on points earned, rather than matches won and Master Rank will now have points earned based off an average of matches ( Master Rank will give a match rating averaging your 20 previous Ranked matches). This way, your progress is based entirely on your own performance.
New Qualifier System
Qualifiers are now based on points earned rather than matches won. This allows your personal performance to impact your advancement to a much larger degree.
To pass from Gold I to Platinum III, for example, you need to earn at least 35 points over the course of 5 matches.
Points earned are still based on your grade for that match, with an S grade on a win awarding the maximum of 40 points.
Overachieving on points required will gives you bonus points upon advancing to the next rank (to a maximum of 50 points).
Failing a qualifier series with negative points will penalize you by that many points.
Master Rank System Update
We have revamped the way points are handled in Master Rank. Instead of being a grind for points, the system focuses on your average performance.
Players will enter into Master Rank with a 200 match rating average.
At the end of a match, you will receive a Match Rating and this will be factored into your “20 game average”. This average represents your Master Rank points.
The maximum possible Match Rating is 1000, and the lowest is -1000. Get better scores, higher kills, revives and assists, while minimizing deaths to maximize your Match Rating.

Take on a new challenge in Survival’s Hardcore Mode, available now. This intense new difficulty tier introduces higher stakes, giving players only one chance to make it through all 50 waves.
