How do I participate in a clan war?
Your clan will be enlisted automatically in a clan war, whether you are an active clan or not. Just by playing the game you could be participating in a clan war without even realizing it.
How do I track my clans progress in a clan war?
Currently the only way to track progress is on a IOS & Android app. To access Clan Wars, after your app has downloaded, open it and click on the 3 bars icon in the bottom left hand corner, then click "Clan Wars" in the left margin. A map will load that tracks the progress of your clan during the current Clan War.
How do I earn points for my clan? Do I have to play with other clan members to earn points for the clan?
Points are earned in Clan Wars by capturing nodes. To capture a node, you must reach the target number of wins for that node. You can play individually or with clan members. Each game that a member wins gives a point to the clan for that node. Playing in a lobby with 6 members gives you 6 wins, a lobby with 2 members give you 2 wins, and a lobby with 1 member will give you 1 win (assuming you win).
How does my team get paired up with the 7 other teams?
This is based on the skill of your team (things like K/D and W/L ratios), the size of your clan, and the amount of activity in your clan. Meaning a clan of 50 members who play 15 hours a day won't be teamed up against a clan of 50 members who play 4 hours a day. All of these are taken into consideration when determining who the 7 other teams are that you will be competing against.
How many members are required to be in my clan in order to participate?
You must have 3 members in your clan at the time of auto-enrollment in order to participate. You also need to have the clan configured and setup before the clan war starts as you can not get placed mid-war.
How do I get the exclusive Triad reticle and the patch for participating in the first Clan War?
If you did not participate int he first ever clan war, then you are not eligible for these 2 items. They were exclusive to the first ever clan war, not the first clan war that your clan participated in. Some patches are also exclusive to that war and thus you won't be able to unlock it unless you were one of the top teams in the war.
What are the locations in a clan war?
There are 8 teams in a clan war and 10 locations to battle it out. Each location ties directly to a game mode in the multiplayer menu. For example, 3 possible locations could be Cranked, TDM, or HC TDM. The Hardcore Game modes are separated from the core game modes. Each win in a possible location will give your clan a point for that node.
What does it mean when a location node is flashing?
If a node is flashing red, the current clan holding it is about to have their node score reduced to 0, and loose it. When a node reaches 0 it becomes "open" again and can be captured by another clan. Any existing wins that were frozen while captured by another clan will start counting again toward the overall wins needed to capture the node. You can tell a node is "open" if it is black and there is no featured clan icon.
I've noticed some nodes have a red "Target" symbol around it, what does that mean?
Clan leaders can set a target node to focus on. In no way does it affect your standing other than helping with clan war organization and coordination.
How do I win a clan war?
Your clan can be the top clan in a clan war by earning the most CP. You earn CP by capturing nodes. Holding down a node does not earn you extra CP though it does prevent other clans from earning it from that node.
How do I check my clan's current standing in a clan war?
On the map in the COD app, click the scoreboard on the bottom of the screen. CP dictates position in the current war.
What does my clan earn for participating in a clan war? What are the rewards/prizes?
XP Multipliers - While you hold down a location, you can get XP bonuses for all clan members playing that particular game mode. For example, if you hold down the location for Cranked, every clan member who plays cranked while holding down that location will earn 1.25 times every XP point in that game. Once you lose the location, the multiplier goes away. This multiplier applies to moshpit playlists when the specified game mode comes up as well. The actual amount of the multiplier could change for each clan war.
Clan XP - This is rewarded at the end of each Clan War to the clan for their participation in the clan war.
In-game rewards - Participating in clan wars and especially being one of the top teams in a clan war can also net you some in-game rewards such as backgrounds, patches, and reticles.
How long does each clan war last?
The first clan war will last 1 week and is shorter so that they can pass on any quick fixes to the system before the next one. The typical duration will be 2 weeks per clan war though each one can technically be a different duration. Expect the 2 week duration to be pretty standard.
If I leave the clan do I get to keep my unlocks?
If you are part of the clan when you earn the unlock, then you get to keep it even if you leave the clan. If you join later, you will not automatically get the previous unlocks. The only exception is Patches. Those belong to the clan and thus you will lose those.
Does my entire team have to play one specific mode?
No, your team can play in any of the modes that correspond to locations in the war. In fact, since there are more locations than teams, it is likely going to be a good strategy to focus on a couple main modes so that you can maximize your points.
Will there be a delay between Clan Wars?
At first there will likely be a slightly longer delay between the clan wars but this delay should shorten as the time goes on. The goal is to start the next one the following day
How does my Clan emblem get implemented into this?
If you clan controls a node on the map, then your clan emblem will appear in the node for all the competing clans to see.
What game modes are supported? Can I play Clan vs Clan game modes?
Any game mode that is in the Standard or Hardcore playlist should be eligible, though it must be one of the 10 modes found in the Clan War.
Clan vs Clan mode is NOT part of the Clan Wars as it is not part of the Standard or Hardcore game mode list. Even though it is still Core TDM (for example), it still won't count as it is not the normal Core TDM which is 6v6.
My wins don't seem to be counting. How does the scoring work?
Each node has a target number of wins that are required to capture that node. The amount needed to capture each node is in the top right hand corner highlighted in red on the location menu. Each team's win count will be increasing at this point until someone reaches the goal. Once the node is captured, your clan earns the specified amount of CP for that node. You don't earn any more CP for that node unless you lose it and re-capture it.
Once a node is captured, any win for the team that is holding it earns will add to their number of wins. However, every win in that node from any clan member on the other 7 teams will deduct from the captors wins instead of adding to their own. Once the captor's win count reaches 0, everyone will start to earn wins again and now the mode is able to be re-captured. Once one clan captures it, the cycle continues to repeat.
Each node has a different CP value. Capture a node and then move on to another node to earn more CP. The more nodes you capture (or re-capture) the more CP you earn. It's okay to lose a node as you can then re-attempt to capture it.
Hypothetical Example
Nodes: TDM (13 CP), DOM (11 CP), KC (10 CP), Cranked (10 CP)
Team 1 captures the TDM node. They now have 13 CP.
Team 2 captures the DOM node. They now have 11 CP.
Team 3, 4, and 5 all work on TDM and lower Team 1's score down to 0 making the TDM node re-capturable.
Team 1 captures the KC node. They now have 23 CP.
Team 4 caputres the TDM Node. Team 4 now has 13 CP.
Team 2 captures the Cranked node. They now have 21 CP.
Clan War Ends
Team 1: 23 CP
Team 2: 21 CP
Team 4: 13 CP
Winner: Team 1 as they earned the most CP
I hate a lot of game types, is there any way to win the clan war by playing only core, or only hardcore?
Unfortunately to win a clan war you must be active in all game types. Simply playing one game type will not contribute to winning the over all war unless your clan is large enough to have members in all game types constantly.
I just got my 3rd teammate, how do I participate in the current clan war?
You need to wait till the next clan war starts as you are not able to join mid-war.
If I add a clan member in the middle of a clan war will their wins count?
Yes, you can add a clan member at any point and as long as they are in the clan it will count as a win for your clan.
