Rise through the ranks, support your fellow soldiers as a musician, artillery crewman, or surgeon, or stand firm as a line infantryman while your regiment clashes against others in organized and competitive events. Regiments are in-game groups (clans) that host and participate in both private and public events. These can include hardcore line battles, large-scale campaigns, ceremonies, melee tournaments, trainings, and more—each depending on a regiment’s traditions and focus. Players interested in organized, team-based play and competitive events are strongly encouraged to join a regiment.

Community & Regiments

Experience Holdfast at its highest level by joining a Regiment—community-driven organizations (clans) that specialize in coordinated tactical warfare. Whether you wish to support the line as a musician or surgeon, man the heavy ordnance of the artillery, or stand firm in a disciplined infantry volley, regiments provide the structure and training necessary for competitive success.

What are Regiments?

Regiments are the backbone of the Holdfast community. These groups:

  • Maintain Professional Hierarchies: Use historical ranks and specialized roles to ensure field efficiency.
  • Coordinate via Discord: Utilize external communication for schedules, tactical briefings, and social interaction.

Why Enlist?

  • Tactical Depth: Move beyond the "chaos" of public servers to perform complex maneuvers, synchronized volleys, and strategic charges.
  • Regiment Prestige: Progress through a dedicated leveling system. Active regiments can reach Prestige Levels (Rank 70+), unlocking decorative banners and visual flair for the unit’s in-game registry.
  • Skill Development: Access "Specialist Schools" for melee mastery, advanced artillery ranging, or leadership training.
