Clans in Killing Floor

Читать на русском

Clans in Killing Floor let players team up so their mates stand out from everyone else in the match.

Clans unlock shared achievements and various bonuses.

Core concepts

• Clan leader — the player who created the clan; can invite and remove members in-game.
• Clan name — unique string set once by the leader at creation. Allowed characters: Latin a–z, A–Z, and underscore _.
• Clan tag — two English letters auto-generated from the name (from capitals, or from leading letters if there are no capitals). Tags do not have to be unique across clans.
• Default clan icon — flat background with the clan tag.
• Custom clan icon — image uploaded by the leader to replace the default.
• Clan creation date — shown in stats.
• Date joined clan — shown in stats.
• Zombies killed — per member, counted from the moment they joined the clan.
• Patriarchs killed — per member, counted from the moment they joined the clan.

Benefits

Leading your own clan or being in another clan gives you extra advantages.

Clan ranking

Clans with at least 5 members and at least 1,000 points enter the ranking. You can view it on the site under stats & ranking and in the Cuzus Online mobile app.

Clans that do not meet the requirements still appear in stats but sit at the bottom of the ranking.

Positions are ordered by total clan points. Points are calculated as follows:

• Patriarchs: the arithmetic mean of Patriarch kills across all members × 1000.
• Zombies: the arithmetic mean of Zombie kills across all members ÷ 10.

Example: 6 members, 12 Patriarch kills total → 1000 × 12 / 6 = 2,000 points.

Example: 5 members, 10,000 Zombie kills total → 10,000 / 10 / 5 = 200 points.

Creating a clan

On any of our servers, open the Clans tab in the game’s main menu.

Requirements

• average perk level 6 or higher;
• at least 5 days of total time played (online hours);
• 5 Weak and 5 Strong Patriarch kills on the leader (these are deducted from the leader’s personal stats when the clan is created).

Steps

1. Open the Clans tab in the main menu.
2. Use the on-screen keyboard for the name; editing keys Erase, Space, Upper/Lower; confirm with Save.
3. Enter your clan name.
4. Press Save.
5. A confirmation dialog lets you double-check the name and generated tag.
6. After confirming, the clan exists; reopening the menu shows the leader UI.
7. Reconnect to the server before you can start inviting players.

Custom clan icon

A custom icon unlocks once the clan reaches 3,000 points.

The Upload icon button stays disabled until the clan hits that score.

Notes

• after a successful upload, the icon is applied automatically within 1–3 days (texture caching in the game).

Disbanding a clan

Use Disband in the Clans menu.

Limits and penalties

• you cannot disband within 5 days of creation;
• after confirming, you take a 4% progress penalty toward all perk requirements.

Inviting players

Only the leader can invite others.

Requirements

• press Invite next to a player’s name in the Clans menu;
• the leader needs at least 2 Patriarch kills that will be deducted from their stats after the invitee accepts.

Leaders see Invitations: N for how many invites are available. Buttons stay inactive until the Patriarch minimum is met.

If more than 12 players are on the server, the list shows 12 random players. Open Clans again until the list rolls the player you need.

Removing a member

Only the leader can remove players. Press Dismiss next to their name.

Limits and penalties

• removing a member costs the leader 2% progress toward all perk requirements.

Leaving a clan

Members may leave without the leader’s action. Press Leave clan in the Clans menu.

Limits and penalties

• you cannot leave within 3 days of joining;
• leaving applies a 2% progress penalty toward all perk requirements.

Global limits

Invites, kicks, disbands, and several other actions run on about a 60-second cooldown — you cannot spam-invite everyone on the server instantly.
