The nine passives

Only two are active at once. Each has 5 upgrade levels paid from the clan treasury; the values below are at level 5.

PassiveAt level 5Best for

Guardian Vitality+15% max HP vs NPCsPvE survival
Vanguard Edge+15% damage vs NPCsPvE damage

Oathbound Link−10% all damage taken (needs 3+ clanmates on the team)Team synergy
Silent Watch−25% chance to be targeted by Stalker / Marked HuntAvoiding NPC threats

Oathbound Link only fires with 3+ members of the same clan on the same team. It is worthless unless you coordinate who queues together.

Treasury, missions and forge

Your clan has shared daily objectives — win X of a mode, earn X Oil collectively — that pay the treasury in Oil and members in XP. The treasury funds passive upgrades and Clan Forge recipe unlocks, which gate six gear pieces and two weapons behind the clan rather than the player.

Clans also hold territory, which grants passive combat bonuses inside the zones they control.
