Clan Wars

Soldiers!

On December 17, a new Clan Season will become available in Caliber, as well as long-awaited Clan Wars.

It will be a massive battle among clans for authority, territory control, and the right to be called the mightiest. Each decision and each victory matter—be ready for some serious fighting!

You can quickly move to any section through the navigation tab on the left part of the screen.

WHAT ARE CLAN WARS?

Clan Wars is a competition between clans which implies participation in PvP and PvE battles.

Battles take place every Thursday during the Combat Operations stage from 4 PM to 6 PM UTC.

[PVP] REGION CONTROL

Every region in Caliber’s lore has a strategic value. Clans fight for territories, resources, and authority: only the most organized and determined ones will be able to hold control over key points every week.

STAGE 1: PREPARATION

During the preparation stage, the clan leader or a member with the necessary permissions selects two out of three available regions to capture: Karkhad, Zalessye, or Isverden Archipelago.

The choice has to be made before the Combat Operations stage begins.

Choose regions wisely: each of them implies battles in a certain game mode.

If your clan hasn’t chosen a region before Combat Operations begin, you won’t be able to participate in battles.

STAGE 2: COMBAT OPERATIONS

Combat Operations take place every Thursday, from 4 PM to 6 PM UTC.

A clan member with the necessary permissions dispatches fireteams to battles: to do this, they need to open one of the two chosen regions and send players there.

Clans: New Role
 
A new role will appear in the clan system—Deputy.

This title has all permissions of Commander, as well as enjoys enhanced abilities to rule the clan: during Combat Operations, a Deputy can dispatch players to battles, purchase items in the Clan Armory along with clan upgrades.

After a dispatch is confirmed, all participants will have to choose their class. After that, a search for opponents will begin.

Please note that there’s no limit for dispatching fireteams: you can send them one by one and, actually, use all your clan members if they are in the HQ at the moment.

While Combat Operations are active, you can play as many battles as you can during the next two hours. But the quality of battles is no less important than their quantity.

The battles that started before 6 PM can be finished, and their results will be counted in the final score.

STAGE 3: RESULTS

Combat Operations results will be announced in the game on the following day, Friday, 6 AM UTC. The rewards will be sent at the same time. You can track the progress of the Rating Points your receive on the Battle History tab.

HOW POINTS ARE COUNTED

At the start of the Combat Operations stage, each clan begins with 100 Rating Points.

For each battle, a clan earns Points based on two aspects: the battle itself and players’ achievements, which are counted using four types of Ribbons.

However, there is an important feature: defeating a clan with a high rating will bring you more Points, while a victory over a less successful team will bring slightly fewer Points.

At the same time, the system always maintains balance: no bonuses will be too large or too small.

DETERMINING WINNERS AND REWARDS

The clan that has gained the highest number of Points during Combat Operations captures the region and becomes its owner until the next Combat Operations.

If two clans have the same number of Points, the clan that has reached this score first will be ranked higher.

Top 3 clans in each region will receive well-deserved rewards. One clan can take prize-winning places in two chosen regions at once.

The reward contains: Clan Credits, Clan XP, and a unique Clan upgrade that will last until the start of the next Combat Operations stage.

[PVE] SECTOR CONTROL

Sectors in the Caliber’s world also hide opportunities that can strengthen your clan. Every week, clans venture into dangerous missions to capture these key points.

The stages of Battle for Sectors are similar to the stages of Battle for Regions. The main differences are game modes, method of calculating results, and access to battles.

You won’t be able to play many battles within two hours, so you should choose your sectors and fireteams of players who will go on the objective wisely.

Quantity doesn’t matter, but quality does: the best result will determine the owner of the sector.

STAGE 1: PREPARATION

During the preparation stage, the clan leader or a member with the necessary permissions selects four sectors for which the clan will fight during the Combat Operations stage. The choice has to be made before the stage begins.

Each sector has its dynamic mode which can change every week.

If your clan hasn’t chosen a region before Combat Operations begin, you won’t be able to participate in battles.

STAGE 2: COMBAT OPERATIONS

Combat Operations take place every Thursday, from 4 PM to 6 PM UTC.

A clan member with the necessary permissions dispatches fireteams to battles: to do this, they need to open one of the four chosen sectors and send players there.

After a sector is selected, all participants will have to choose their class. After that, a search for battle will begin.

Please note that in order to send a fireteam on a mission, an Attack License Ticket is required. One try—one ticket.

  • Every week, a clan gets 10 Attack License Tickets.
  • Extra tickets can be obtained through clan upgrades or purchased in the Clan Store. Tickets can be purchased before and during the Combat Operations stage.
  • The limit of Tickets: 50. With clan upgrades, it can be increased up to 75.

One Ticket can be enough to capture a sector. Just achieve the best result among all clans.

The battles that started before 6 PM can be finished, and their results will be counted in the final score.

STAGE 3: RESULTS

Combat Operations results will be announced in the game on the following day, Friday, 6 AM UTC. The rewards will be sent at the same time. You can track the progress of the Rating Points your receive on the Battle History tab.

HOW POINTS ARE COUNTED

In the Battle for Sectors, it's not the number of attempts that matters, but your skill.

Only victories are counted: one perfect mission may be enough to get to the top and capture the sector for the entire week.

When calculating points, three factors are considered:

  • The base XP earned by the team (without Premium, Boosters, Legendary Outfits, etc.)
  • Mission completion time—the faster you complete the objective, the better.
  • “Not a Scratch!” Ribbons—awarded to players for completing an objective without a single death: these Ribbons provide a significant bonus to the score.

DETERMINING WINNERS AND REWARDS

The clan whose fireteam completes the objective in the sector better than all others gains control over it until the next Combat Operations.

Top 3 clans in each sector will receive well-deserved rewards. One clan can take prize-winning places in several sectors at once: from one to all four sectors.

The reward contains: Clan Credits, Clan XP, and a unique Clan upgrade that will last until the start of the next Combat Operations stage.

CLAN UPGRADES

With the Clan Wars release, a full clan improvement system will appear in Caliber: XP, levels, and number of useful upgrades. By upgrading your clan, you will unlock useful bonuses, such as extra Attack License Tickets, increased XP, discounts at the Clan Armory, etc.

WHAT WILL CHANGE
 
At the time of this article’s publication, the clan level only determines the maximum number of members.

It will change from December 17: the number of slots will no longer depend on the clan level. As before, you will be able to expand the member list using currency, and the clan level will increase based on earned XP (and XP will be the foundation for getting upgrades).

 More member slots can be purchased in the Clan Armory.

How to upgrade your clan:

1. Play the game modes where XP can be earned.  Now all XP earned in battles are credited not only to you but also to your clan. Bonuses from Premium, XP boosters, and Legendary Outfits are also counted.

2. Earn Clan Credits—a new currency that can be obtained from battles for sectors and regions during Combat Operations, as well as for completing daily clan objectives.

3. A clan leader can spend Clan Credits to upgrade and strengthen their clan.

CLAN ARMORY AND CLAN CREDITS

Complete clan objectives, win in Combat Operations, and earn Clan Credits. They can be spent not only on clan upgrades but also in the new Clan Armory.

Some items have a weekly limit. It means that you can buy them only several times per seven days. However, this limit can be increased if your clan captures the corresponding regions and sectors during Combat Operations.

At the beginning, the following items will be in the Clan Armory:

  • Ranked Container, limit: 3.
  • Weapon Container, limit: 3.
  • Army Surplus Container, limit: 3.
  • Clan Container, limit: 3.
  • Ammo box, limit: no limits.
  • Armor plate bag, limit: no limits.
  • Attack License Ticket, limit: no limits.
  • XP booster, limit: no limits.
  • Clan capacity increase.

CLAN CONTAINER

The Clan Container was designed specifically for the Clan Armory launch. It contains exclusive items that can be obtained only from this container.

  • Chainmail Weaving Camo.
  • Steel Scales Camo.
  • “Catch it!” Execution.
  • MPX procured primary weapon that can be obtained for the following Medics: Bard (SSO), Karavai (22 SpN), Sungur (PÖH), Schatz (KSK), Kaiser (SEK), Monk (SEAL), Bones (CST), Velour (RAID), Shersheret (Nesher), Buggy (Arystan), Freyr (AMF), Yàowáng (Jiaolong).

HOW TO OBTAIN ITEMS FROM THE CLAN ARMORY

In the Clan Armory, the clan member with the necessary permissions can make a purchase. After this, the item becomes available to all clan members.

One purchase—and the whole clan gets access to the item. 

LEADERBOARDS CHANGES

With the Clan Wars launch, the Clan Season system will be updated, and all leaderboards will be reworked.

  • All Players, Top Players, and Extra Points tables will be deleted.
  • Instead of them, three new tables will appear: Region Control, Sector Control, and Objectives.

Thus, the method of accumulating points by spending Credits is gone—now everything depends on every player’s real contribution. To lead your clan to the top, you'll have to play as a team: success can only be achieved by common efforts of the entire team.

FIRST BATTLES—SOON

Soldiers, the first Clan Wars are coming very soon—on December 18.

And on Friday, December 19, it will become clear who has assembled a strong team and managed to take control of the territory for the entire upcoming week—until the next Combat Operations, where everything will be decided once again.

There will be new tactics, a serious competition, and real teamplay. Capture key points, upgrade your clan, and earn the best rewards.

And be sure to share your thoughts on our social media channels—your feedback will help us improve the new mode.

Good luck in the first clan battles!
