We want to introduce the new Clan Mercenary System. Every soldier will be able to join Clan Ranked Matches for multiple events in the upcoming patch. It will begin on February 20th.
1. Every soldier can join the Clan Channel.
2. Soldiers without a Clan can join the Clan Ranked Matches through buying a Mercenary License. The Mercenary License is available to purchase in the Medal Shop.
3. VIVOX - Voice chat will be enabled for Clan Ranked Matches.
Starting with the new Clan Mercenary System, we planned the following events for Clan Ranked Matches shown below:
CLAN VERSUS EVENT
Event Period: February 20 - March 27 The "Clan Ranked Match" will be added as a Special Mission.
MISSION 1 - Play 10 Clan Ranked Matches
Rewards: - CLAN VERSUS CARD (PERMANENT) - CLAN VERSUS SPRAY (30 DAYS)
MISSION 2 - Play 30 Clan Ranked Matches
Reward: K5 VERSUS (PERMANENT)
EVENT 1
Individual Rank Points: Top 1 - 100 Rewards: - 20,000 BS Coins - CALLING CARD: CLAN VERSUS RANK POINT TOP 100 (PERMANENT)
Clan Rank Points: Top 1- 50 Reward: BALISONG VERSUS (PERMANENT)
Additional Information:
Current Individual / Clan Rank Points will be reset during the scheduled maintenance, and new Clan Ranked Points will be calculated.
Rewards of Event 1 and Event 2 will be sent at the end of the events.
Event 2 rewards are calculated based on the clan you belong to at the end of the event. You must have a record of participating in more than 30 Clan Rank Matches in the same clan.
To receive event rewards, players must complete more than 30 matches.
Players without a Clan or a Mercenary License cannot create or join a match room in the Clan Match server.
Players with a Mercenary License, but without a clan, can only earn Individual Rank Points, not Clan Rank Points.
To start a match, the minimum required Clan Members in a team is 3. Teams with only Mercenaries can not start a match.
We look forward to your participation in the upcoming Clan Versus event.
