Tyr Clans
Twenty names, one Discord thread, and scans you earn together — not a fifth squad slot.
The June 2026 patch introduced the foundation of Tyr clans. Stoke called it a first version, not the finished social layer. What shipped: 20-member clans, a clan chat that mirrors Discord so talk persists in-game and on Discord live, clan names as titles, and the ability to unlock additional weekly Territory Scans from cumulative XP across members. This page is the social desk. Match squads are still three. Parent: updates. LFG: community.
What a clan is not
It is not an 8-stack. You still queue Standard and Ranked as a squad of three plus pugs. It is not a damage buff. Clan titles are cosmetics like Founder titles. It is not a paywall; Stoke did not list Gold as a clan ticket. If a later shop sells clan slots, that will be a patch sentence, not today’s fact.
Chat that does not die on alt-tab
The headline is Discord-linked clan chat. Playtest years already lived on discord.gg/tyr. Clans make a subset of that chat show in the client so a 20-person group is not three Discord servers and a Steam overlay. If the link breaks, you still have Discord. Do not paste account credentials into a “clan bot.”
Territory Scans
Scans are the progression carrot: extra weekly scans earned from clan-wide XP. They are not a personal carry if you AFK. They are a reason to park your XP in a group that actually plays. Cosmetic drops and Gold styles still sit on the Founder’s Pack and match loot. Scans do not unlock Fortis for free.
How this changes your first week
- Join or make a clan after you can finish a match without feeding vision. How to play.
- Keep the in-game squad at three. Use pings for the pug four.
- Custom games with a share code are still the tryout room. Community.
- If you care about Ranked tournaments, Fortis needs level 20 to show up there after it graduated. Patch notes.
Etiquette
Do not recruit by promising SLVR. Do not kick people for driving Tricera on a cap. Overtime still loves living HP. Clan chat is a log; assume it is public to twenty people and Discord. Ping the cap, not the argument.
The video on this page is Stoke asking you to bring friends into a playtest weekend. The lesson survived launch: Tyr is worse as a solo mute and better as a three-stack that can still talk to a clan of twenty after the match. For chassis picks after you clan up, use the roster and the tier list, not a random “clan main.”
Recruit like a tank game, not a mobile guild. Say your region, your usual class, and whether you understand 400 m spotting. Do not promise Gold. Do not require the Founder’s Pack. A clan that only plays Customs on Dunes will still need Standard hours to farm scans. After a loss, watch the handshake column and the ping log, then send the ping wheel page instead of a rant. If Discord chat and in-game chat desync, default to Discord and keep playing; the foundation patch was explicit that this is version one. Extra Territory Scans are the carrot. Living through overtime is still the win.
