Object-Goal Navigation (ObjectNav) is a key capability for deploying mobile robots in everyday environments such as homes, schools, and workplaces. In this task, an agent must locate an instance of a target object category in previously unseen environments using only onboard perception, requiring the integration of semantic understanding, spatial reasoning, and long-horizon planning. Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a dominant paradigm for ObjectNav, yet modern systems involve numerous design choices across perception modules, policy architectures, and inference-time strategies. The relative impact of these components, however, remains poorly understood. In this work, we present a large-scale empirical study of modular RL-based ObjectNav systems. We decompose the navigation pipeline into three key components: perception, policy, and test-time enhancement, and conduct extensive controlled experiments to analyze their individual contributions. Our results suggest that improvements in perception quality and test-time strategies often yield larger performance gains than policy improvements alone, highlighting the importance of understanding how different components interact within modular navigation systems. Motivated by these findings, we introduce a unified framework for systematically studying modular ObjectNav systems. Guided by our analysis, we build an enhanced system that achieves state-of-the-art performance on the Gibson benchmark, improving SPL by 6.6% and success rate by 2.7% over prior methods. We also introduce a human expert baseline, achieving 98% success, highlighting the significant gap between current RL agents and human-level navigation. Finally, we provide practical insights and design recommendations for each module to help guide future research. Project page: https://honwang0054.github.io/What-matters-in-RL-ObjNav-web/.
