How do you get brawl/coop badge in 2022?

Submit

Undead match seems dead now. A shame, I'm double gold ranked and miss the competition. Oh well, more time to play Vigor.

Submit

i got to gold then didn't play any brawl or duel, i then proceed to go to silver again... huh?

Submit

i think to get gold you need to do 5 wins without losing i dont know but i got it that way

Submit

m8 where r the SL200 people on this, i need someone to brawl and yet brawl is dead. why tf is duel so popular man just play brawl

Submit

Undead Match can be fun, but these badges are meaningless. All they tell you is someone played arena enough times to get one.

Reason they are bullshit #1: With cross region matchmaking off, from East Coast USA, I still routinely match against players in China or Korea - nothing against them, but with that kind of connection, what you see on the screen is simply not a reflection of the current reality. Fighting against them is a guessing game that almost always ends with you taking lethal damage out of literally nowhere. I'm sure I've been the beneficiary of such latency more than once myself, too.

Reason they are bullshit #2: On Steam at least, you can just block players you can't beat and never have to fight them again. That's it. I'm not saying you should, but you absolutely can just Steam block every sweaty Lapp-clad crossbow/LKSS/Black Knight Shield user you see and grind your way up to gold without having to lose to them again and again.

Reason they are bullshit #3: Once you get gold, you can just stop playing arena and stay gold forever. A lucky enough win streak gets in you for life.

I could go on. Short of it is, don't put any stock into these, and if you do play Undead Match, try to do it for fun. God, at this game's age, you'd think the people taking it so seriously would have left by now. Do some screwing around while we wait for Elden Ring and show your opponents some manners.

got gold in 5 min with ledo s great hammer this weapon needs nerf jeez (i prob get in 5 min cuz ı was close to gold but still weapon is op but ı hope they dont nerf cuz ı use it a lot)

Submit

Does 2 player brawl increase duel or brawl honor badge?

Submit

gold is ez

Submit

I thought undead matches were and know one played them I’ve been wanting to rank up brawl/co op rank for the longest

Submit

Started Playing duels for 1:30 hours Started with estoc and ss was iron/bronze swapped claymore got gold in 30 mins. Jesus Christ

Submit

Idk man, I played around 10 matches with a new character and won 8 of them and ranked at iron. Most of the people I fought were gold. It seems that the ranking system is glitched. Or it just takes a high amount of matches to rank at gold.

Submit

Can you grind for medals by killing somebody using a password over and over? I'd be suprised and kind of appalled if you didnt even have to fight random people to get better and just farm killing somebody who actually agrees to it

Submit

I feel like there are hidden ranks within each badge, when I first got into the arena a couple of days ago I was amazed by the skill of the gold players the game threw at me at first, they were great at spacing, punishing and knew their weapon counters, even fought the occasional mid attack weapon-swapper as well, but as I kept playing (and kept getting rekt) I began to face gold players that were way less skilled, and started consistently beating them. The skill gap between the gold players I'm fighting now compared to then is massive, so I guess they sit at "lower gold" as I do now as well. I'm just guessing of course, since From doesn't really tell us much about how it works, but that would be my bet.

Submit

Im not even that good and I got a gold medal in like 2 hours. FYI medals don't necessarily prove skill. A gold medalist is likely better than the average person that plays DS3 but don't let that fool you into thinking they're gods or something.

Submit

My fave is when you get in and the expect you to let them have 5 buffs

Submit

i got gold in like 3 hours and i thought that i was in bronze and i was like ''holy, how many matches do i need to get silver?'' and now i saw this page and i realized lol

Submit

Arena Gold with a Black Iron Greatshield. I feel so Accomplished.

Submit

gold with aquamarine dagger lmaoooo

Submit

Dang dude, I was always at gold but i thought it was bronze, so when i got demoted to silver i thought my rank increased lol

Submit

Got gold finally ;__; im glad thank you

Submit

I love when I find someone that thinks that sacred flame is blockable

Submit

Do you know how toxic this community is? I won a match against a guy - Coolman or psn adrienmeija or something like that. Kept launching spells at me and I successfully waited it out and play to his misses and punished etc. Won the game. Next game he comes back ... I am a bit drunk. He points down and throws poop at me. Thanks FromSoft - you really make the case for humanity.

Submit

Greatsword/ultra greatsword guys are easy by the way, bait them to use two swings then go in for the attack, there is delay between 2nd and 3rd swing where they lose their hyper armour and can't roll for a bit.

Submit

I block every mage that i match with

Submit

mages die so easilly when you get in. Try dodging their spells and waiting until they're vulnerable. They use stamina just like everyone else, and if tehy use a big spell, they're wide open for a good ol' backstab.

Submit

Sounds like you spam moaners didn’t git gud

Submit

Mages shouldn't be able to join, I say. I came here for PvP not a bullet hell

Submit

hi, if having difficulty finding opponents try using common PvP soul levels. I get lots activity:
SL 125 +10 weapon
SL 90 +10 weapon
SL 60 +6 weapon

Submit

For win streak sake, there's so much people use murky scythe spam or crossbow spam, this is not funny and annoying especially when they cheese you, pointed down and poop on you.

Submit

I'll kick u guys ass

Submit

Do these badges decay if you don't play arena regularly?

Submit

That moment when a straight sword has more range than a spear

Submit

Friendly reminder that at least on PS4, you can block players that use game breaking exploits and never have to face them again. I don't know about you guys but I really don't feel like learning how to counter **** in a game that shouldn't be happening in the first place.

Submit

I got gold so I think it's not very difficult to do so lol

Submit

It's so hard to level up your Brawl/co-op rank in 2020 almost no one plays them at all

Submit

Is 2020 and the Brawl/Co-op queue is still empty since release lmao

Submit

Is everyone just doing duels? Does no one do brawls/teams?

Submit

Healing items aren't allowed in the arena but healing spells are

Thank you fromsoft

Submit

Me saqué el oro en una hora, es bastante fácil, pero ha sido entretenido hacerme un perfect en plata la verdad, las gané todas hasta llegar a oro

Submit

I got gate kept at silver because I kept running into a bunch of sweaty cucks and was never able to get to gold because I needed to many wins to rank up

Submit

Ah yes black flame spam

Submit

thanks to my retarded gundyr cosplay with a long nose i got myself to gold in a matter of like 3 hours of dying

Submit

Quick question, do password matches affect rank?

Submit

Hey, you did a perfect parry? Too bad buddy, tickrate didn't think so. But hey, that one parry when you know you messed up and immediately rolled? Yeah, that thing got in. It sometimes feels like arena lags are worse than invasions

Submit

Based

Submit

This system would have been 10 times better if they just had like a ranking system based on numbers (like Dota 2 MMR) or at least one of those Tekken 7 prompts "promotion match"

Submit

I just got gold after a few days of grinding and I believe they should make it a bit more difficult because I'm honestly not the best. I play on mouse and keyboard and I'm still trying to learn parry timing and how to pivot backstab. I just think someone like me shouldn't be able to get into gold.

Submit

Rankings are working as intended

Submit

People with 1000+ ping shouldn't be able to queue

Submit

I slap foo on there

Submit

took me 5 wins in a row for iron, then i couldnt tell if it was bronze or iron still but I saw it changed to silver at 22 wins, i lost a few in between, turned to gold at 36 wins

Submit

nice description of required wins. really fokin nice.

Submit

Got to gold but didnt know it was gold cus am color blind

Submit

These ranks are basically meaningless and barely ever translate to the amount of skill someone has. I can start in iron wind up in gold and fall all the way back down in an hour just based on how many bad match ups I get.

Submit

I didn't know an Iron rank existed.

Submit

I'm here for the dislikes : )

Submit

I was promoted on a loss...

Submit

10 minutes gold. I'm trash too, cant survive a gank for the life of me

Submit

I got 3 wins in a row 1 draw, 2 wins in a row 1 draw and 1 win again and got to Gold.

Submit

got to gold with short bow I'm wondering how

Submit

I have a red one

Submit

I have an anecdote against the theory of ranks being determined by consecutive wins. I had won a couple in a row while silver but lost a match, the next match I won and after that, I had earned gold. If the winning streak theory is true then this wouldn't have happened.

Submit

I wonder if there is rank match making. I won around 8 matches and lost 2 and got to bronze. And there was this one guy who started running away at 20 health and we ended up killing each other at the same time but he unplugged his wifi. Hopefully I find players who destroy me.

Submit

who's all disliking these comments? Quit being d*s.

Submit

There are 5 badges 2 black 2 red 3 bronze 4 white/silver 5 gold

Submit

lol i just take gold with dark knight and ringed knight weapons.I love the move set of those especialy the ringed spear and dark knight glaive.

Submit

Stuck in silver forever, finally went on a 10 game win streak and got gold. Estoc cancer here, send your hatemail pls.

Submit

played for the first time. lost around 20 duels and won 1. went from iron to bronze...

Submit

Need pictures of the badges.

Submit

Does anyone know where to find some image files of the arena badges themselves? Can't find any online.

Submit

Yeah this is pretty fun at times

Submit

I believe there's something with hitting your opponent (or dealing damage; positive honor points) and getting hit (or taking damage; losing points). I changed my build to ranged and sometimes i don't get hit at all during the match and I basically skyrocketed from Iron to Gold in about 3 hours (wrong build with about 0-20 losing streak preceded).

Submit

Somehow went from no honor to an iron honor on a loss.

Submit

How come most comments have a ton of dislikes? Sheesh, such salty tryhards.

Submit

Pulverized my way to gold with the splitleaf greatsword in the sl.80-100 bracket in less than 2 hours. That thing is just freaking stupid op at 40 strength and vigor, 24 endurance, 21 vitality, and 16 dex to wield it. Even had a hot streak of 30 wins in a row. Though I don't recall after how many wins I got to gold. must have been about 20-25 ish...

Submit

i got gold with ledo's hammer :D

Submit

The amount of lothric knight sword users i've met in silver is depressing... Goodbye gold

Submit

Dawg I went from iron to gold in like 1 hour I’m so gud. Am I good? NOTICE ME SENPAI!

Submit

Made an lvl 99 Ornstein build, held forward and spammed r1, got Gold under an hour.

Submit

I think a long win streak reward a lot more score for each win. I skipped silver and went straight to gold from bronze after 7 wins

Submit

Badges forces peoples to use tryhard builds, and discourage the use of fun builds which require more thinking in battle

Submit

Got my gold :) My build was a Level 105 Warrior with 40 VIG/END, 38 VIT, and 44 STR with a little bit thrown into DEX. My rings were Havel's, Chloranthy +3. FaP +3, and Prisoner's Chain. The weapon I was using was Vordt's GH, and I was wearing full Winged Knight armor. GL to anyone else trying to get to gold.

Submit

I finally got the gold! after quite a few hours my pure faith build went gold! lv: 145, 60 fth and 60 att Lothric Warbanner and Sunlight Talisman I love it soooo much Good luck to the git gudders in the arena!

Submit

So... I was on a losing streak, and the game suddenly promotes me from iron to bronze... makes sense

Submit

how many matches do i need to play in order to get a rank?

Submit

Doing better than I thought as a Lothric Knight in PvP (huh, it is full of trash)

Submit

I have about 90% win rate on arena 1v1, because most ppl are scrubs. Rank system is shyt, bcs even if you are in gold, you play vs trash. If u want to test your skill it is better to go to pontiff/high wall of lothric and join fight club.

Submit

Got to gold in about 1.5 hours using Lorian's set, Frayed Blade+5, Lothric Knight shield+6, FaP ring+3, Havel's ring+3, Chloranthy ring +3 and Ring of Steel Protection+3 38 vig 10 att 30 end 18 vit 40 str 40 dex 9 int 9 fth 7 lck

Submit

Pretty sure everyone gets gold eventually, I've had my fair share of winning and losing streaks and it's never changed from gold so it might just stay at whatever rank you've reached.

Submit

just buy the dlc you cheap losers

Submit

With Katana its really hard against those big long ranged weapons.

Submit

I eat hella ass bruh

Submit

Why do u have to purchase DLC to go PVP? what a way to make profit Fromsoft! Any game shud have access to PVP w/o having to shell out any LOL

Submit

I hate that this is DLC exclusive. Just putting that out there.

Submit

You have an UGS in your right hand, a small shield in your left and super bulky armor, it's very unlikely that the other player is gonna come out on top. Your active poise prevents stunlocking when swinging that massive sword and you get a free parry if you successfully block that first attack from an r1 spammer.

Submit

I use 10 sharp lothric greatsword buffed with great magic sword and iron flesh. Then just spam attacks until either they die or I get really hurt. If its the latter, retreat to heal and reuse iron flesh. Only weaknesses are lightning and magic projectiles, but hardly anyone uses those. If they do, no iron flesh, just run and smash.

Submit

the medals are useless and the arenas have a bad setup cuz of manny obsticles and coop matches are dead so there is no point on playing in the arena you find more people in the pontif area besides its a DLC and you have to spend money.The only possitive thing is that people cant cheat (drink estus) but other than that theres no point on playing in the arena

Submit

I used gotthard twin swords and astora gs. Pretty easy set up

Submit

This game made me hate myself and the stupid ass arena ranking system.
