Diablo 4 What is the Gauntlet? New leaderboard system

The Gauntlet is one of the leaderboard systems being introduced with Diablo 4 Season 3. Unlike the permanent leaderboards, the Gauntlet will be changing constantly, allowing for more players to earn the top spot on the board.

The Gauntlet itself is a weekly rotating fixed dungeon that players can run through to earn a place on the Gauntlet’s leaderboard. It’s currently unknown how the scoring for the dungeon will work, and what aspects will earn players the top spot. More is expected to be revealed as The Gauntlet gets closer to being released.
