Playing against higher-ranked opponents provides valuable learning opportunities for skill improvement. While matches may include players of varying ranks, the focus on personal achievement ensures fair progression regardless of starting rank.
The mixed-rank matchmaking system encourages players to adapt and learn from more experienced opponents, making Danger Zone an excellent environment for developing combat skills and strategic thinking.
