Frequently Asked Questions (as answered by Beachhead studio on the official forums)

What are Clan Operations?

Clan Operations are competitions which score players and Clans based on a specific statistic in a selected game mode over a pre-set period of time.  Operations can range from Most Team Deathmatch Kills to Most Captures in Domination, generally last for three to four hours, and award real prizes and ELITE badges.

The two key differences between Clan Operations and Lone Wolf Operations are that Clan Operations score members of Clans instead of independent players, and Clan Operations award Clan XP.  Please note that only the scores of up to six Premium members of your Clan will count towards winning prizing.

How do I enlist my clan in a Clan Operation?

Your Clan Leader must enlist your Clan into a Clan Operation through the Compete section of the ELITE website.  If your Clan is not signed up you should contact your Clan Leader to enlist.

Why does Clan Operations say “Coming Soon” in the 360 & PS3 console app?

Clan Operation functionality will be coming to the console app in a future TU.  In the meantime, please have your Clan Leader enlist your Clan through the Compete section of the ELITE website.

Can we challenge other Clans in an Operation?

Not directly. Clan Operations allow Clans to compete for placement on the Clan Operation Leaderboard. The top six scores from participating Premium members in your Clan are combined and ranked on the Clan Operation Leaderboard.

How are prizes awarded?

Prizes are awarded according to the Winning Criteria of a Clan Operation and your Clan’s performance on the Clan Operation Leaderboard.

An example of winning Criteria:

  • Champion: Single best Clan
  • Gold: 90-100%
  • Silver: 75-90%
  • Bronze: 50 75%

Who is eligible for Clan Operation prizing?

Only Premium members who are in the same region as their Clan Leader are eligible for physical prizing in Clan Operations.  See Clan Operation rules for full eligibility details.  Premium members in every region are eligible for Clan Operation digital prizing (badges & Clan XP).

How do I know my Clan is enlisted for the Clan Operation?

You can confirm that your Clan is enlisted by checking the Clan Operation detail page.  Your clan will show up as “Enlisted” if enlisted or “Not Enlisted” if your Clan is not enlisted.

Why can’t I see how the other Clans are performing during the Operation?

Due to winner verification procedures, the leaderboard is not published until after the Clan Operation has completed.

Will there be real prizes for any of the operations like in some of the Lone Wolf Operations?

Yes, some Clan Operations will offer real prizes and digital prizes such as badges and Clan XP as well.

How long will it take to post the winners?

Dependent upon the type and value of a prize, it may take seven to ten days after the conclusion of the Event or Operation to verify and notify potential winners by email.

Why didn’t my score help towards my Clan’s rank on the Operation leaderboard?

Your Clan’s performance is based on the top 6 Premium members who participated in the Operation. If your score is outside the top 6 in your Clan, it does not contribute.

How can I tell which players’ scores will count towards my Clan Ranking?

You can tell which players’ scores count by checking the top 6 Premium members listed in the Your Clan’s Performance section of the Clan Operations details page.

My Clan got XP but I didn’t.  Why?

Clan Operations earn your Clan XP within ELITE.  This is separate to XP earned within the game.
