Clash Squad vs Lone Wolf vs BR: the fastest mode for Friday guild glory

Every mode gives dog tags, but not at the same speed. We played 50 matches during the Friday window and timed each one. Here is what we found, and how to use it to reach 1,800 dog tags with the least time online.

The 1,800 dog tag challenge

Every Friday between 00:00 and 23:59, your guild needs 1,800 dog tags to unlock the weekly custom room card. The mode you choose decides whether that takes three hours or eight. Picking the wrong mode is the most common reason guilds fall short.

Mode comparison from 50 test matches

We recorded match length and dog tags for every match, for a solo player and for a full squad of four guild members.

ModeMatch lengthSolo dog tagsSquad of fourTags per hour (squad)
Clash Squad6 to 8 min8 to 1032 to 40About 280 to 320
Lone Wolf (1v1 or 2v2)4 to 5 min2 to 48 (duo)About 96
Battle Royale16 to 19 min10 to 1240 to 48About 140
Takeaway: Clash Squad with four guild members gave more than twice the dog tags per hour of Battle Royale, and about three times the tags of Lone Wolf.

Why a full Clash Squad team wins

Clash Squad rounds are short and matchmaking is quick, so you spend your time playing instead of waiting in a lobby. When all four players are in the same guild:

  • A win gives each member about 8 to 10 dog tags, so 32 to 40 for the guild.
  • Even a loss gives each member about 5 to 6, so 20 to 24 for the guild.
  • There is no long drop and loot phase, so the next match starts within a minute.

Why solo Lone Wolf grinding falls short

Lone Wolf feels fast because each match is short, but it gives very few dog tags. A win gives only 2 to 4 tags. To collect 40 tags alone, a player needs 10 to 12 matches, which is more than 45 minutes of play. Use Lone Wolf only when two members are online and nobody else is available.

A three squad Friday schedule

If your guild can form three squads of four, this schedule reached 1,800 in our tests in about three and a half hours of total play:
