Alliance Leadership
The R4/R5 command center — roles, member controls, tech, territory, markers, polls, Sheriff rewards, alliance levels and the leadership checklist.
Alliance Leadership
Run the crew. Grow the territory. Keep the chaos organized.
Being R4 or R5 is more than having a shiny rank beside your name. Leadership controls recruitment, ranks, territory, tech priorities, polls, markers, rallies, and a lot of the systems that keep an alliance moving. This guide breaks the tools down so your leadership team spends less time asking "where is that button?" and more time actually running the alliance.

The Golden Rule
A strong alliance isn't built by one R5 doing everything. Delegate. R4 exists for a reason.

Don't hand out R4 like candy
Good R4?
Most boxes checked? Congratulations. You may have found an Officer.
Alliance Tech
Alliance Technology gives the whole alliance development and combat bonuses. Members contribute resources, and higher tech levels mean bigger alliance-wide benefits.

Leader tip
Territory & Alliance Resources
Alliance territory is created and expanded through Alliance structures such as HQs and Flags. Chiefs inside active Alliance Territory can receive the corresponding territory bonuses, and only appropriate leadership ranks can place Alliance buildings.
- Step 1
Alliance HQ
The anchor. Territory starts here.
- Step 2
Flags
Placed by leadership to extend the border outward.
- Step 3
Expand territory
Each structure grows the active alliance area.
- Step 4
Cover key locations
Resource points, facilities, prisons, routes.
- Step 5
Territory benefits
Chiefs inside active territory receive the applicable territory bonuses.
Alliance Resource Points
Build Alliance Flags so Alliance Resource Points fall inside active Alliance Territory. Once they're inside, those points continuously produce Alliance Resources.
Outside territory
Not controlled. Producing nothing for you.
Flag expands border
Leadership places a flag that reaches the point.
Inside territory
Producing Alliance Resources continuously.
Don't place flags just to make pretty lines

Leader tip
Stop arguing in chat. Make a poll.
Poll first. Argue later.
How polls work
- R4 or higher can start or stop Alliance Polls.
- Up to 3 polls can be active at the same time.
- Starting a poll automatically posts a notification in Alliance Chat.
- Alliance members can participate while the poll is in progress.
- When a poll ends, the results are sent automatically by Alliance Mail.
- Past polls stay viewable under Concluded.
- Results are for record-keeping and decision support — they don't change game features or event outcomes.
Good things to poll
- Vault Trap times
- Event schedules
- Facility priorities
- Preferred rally times
- Leadership decisions that affect everyone
Tip: give polls enough time for different time zones to vote. Your night crew exists.
Active polls members can still vote in. Up to 3 can run at once, and starting one drops a notification straight into Alliance Chat.
Educational mock poll — not a real alliance poll
Best time for Vault Trap?
Sheriff Points & Activity Rewards
- Alliance Sheriff Points are the combined Sheriff Points earned by alliance members.
- Members earn Sheriff Points by claiming Intel Case rewards and opening the top two tiers of Daily Task Chests.
- When a member earns Sheriff Points, the same amount is added to the alliance total.
- Joining or leaving an alliance raises or lowers that alliance's weekly Sheriff Point total accordingly.
Daily target
800 Points
Once a member earns 800 Sheriff Points in a day, they can open the Daily Sheriff Chest from the Alliance menu.
Max shown reward: 100,000 Alliance Coins
Weekly Sheriff rewards
- Every Monday at 00:00, alliances with at least 30 members distribute Weekly Sheriff Chests based on Alliance Sheriff Points.
- Rewards are paid in Alliance Coins.

Why leaders should care
Level up the Alliance
Level 11 is shown as Max Level in the supplied game screenshots — treat that as the build we documented, not a permanent ceiling.
Confirmed alliance progression unlocks
The screenshots confirm what levelling unlocks, but not which exact level grants each item, so we've grouped them instead of guessing.

Alliance HQ (Countryside) can be placed and built in the countryside.

Alliance Benefits & Rules
Think before you leave
Some alliance activities distribute rewards at specific times. Leave before distribution and you may lose eligibility. Some activities also require registration, alliance membership during matchmaking, and alliance membership when the event begins — leaving after registration can invalidate your participation.
