Uncharted 4 Patch 1.20.055

It has been a few days since the reveal of what this patch would entail for Unchart­ed 4 and Naughty Dog has final­ly released its details. 

Clas­sic Mode

They have added Clas­sic mode back to the beta test playlist. For any­one who did not get a chance to play it back in Novem­ber, Clas­sic is a mode that focus­es on the basic — no Mys­ti­cals, Side­kicks, or in-game store. You can find it in the Mul­ti­play­er playlist menu as of today.

New Ranked Season

The new ranked sea­son has begun, for those among you who play more on the com­pet­i­tive side. This sea­son is intro­duc­ing new rewards and improve­ments to pro­gres­sions. You’ll have chances to earn a new set of Ranked weapon skins to com­ple­ment the Ranked Truck­er Hat, Shades and Ban­danas. There is also a spe­cial Ranked Huz­zah taunt for those who reach Gold rank or high­er. Naughty Dog has also improved 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

Gen­er­al

• Bug fix for award­ed chests not open­ing for the player
• Bug fix for play­ers that are unable to con­nect to mul­ti­play­er or are tak­ing a long time to con­nect to multiplayer
• Fix for pro­file data loss
• Accounts that were affect­ed by the pro­file loss will have their lev­el restored
• Fixed sev­er­al crashes
• Bug fix for mul­ti­play­er audio set­tings reset­ting when back­ing out to the main menu
• Adjust­ed weapon skins to fix bright weapon skin issues in cer­tain levels

Survival

Hard­core Mode Introduced

This is a new dif­fi­cul­ty tier in this rel­a­tive­ly new mode in Unchart­ed 4. It intro­duces even high­er stakes, giv­ing play­ers only one chance to make it through all 50 waves. You must work togeth­er with skill, strat­e­gy, and a tad bit of luck.
