Black Desert Online offers gigantic conquest battles in PvP for guilds. For players who do not have an appropriate guild, there is now the opportunity to join a militia and as mercenaries to side with one of the factions.
PvP is an important feature in the sandbox MMO Black Desert Online, and every Saturday guilds fight for control over their own territories. It’s unfortunate if you are a tough PvP player but do not have a guild that excels in these fights. Until now, such players could only watch longingly as others fought for glory, honor, territories, and loot.
But since the last update on November 1st, all players have the opportunity to join the militia and participate in the area battles.
How to join the militia
The militia is a mercenary group that can side with one of the two factions in a conquest war. There is an offensive and a defensive militia. To participate, you just need to apply for one of the two troops through the militia menu and have a combined AK and VK of at least 400.
You can apply no later than 45 minutes before the start of the battle, and each militia can contain a maximum of 50 players. Additionally, only up to 10 players from the same guild can be in the militia of a territory. As a reward, there are plenty of silver, activity points, and guild assets.
Troops as a new group feature
In addition to the militias, the new update for Black Desert Online introduced the feature to create a “troop.” Troops are loose groups that can be created briefly to achieve a common goal.
Troops can contain a maximum of 20 players and have no features like shared XP or group buffs. However, you can see each other on the world map and use a group chat.
Unfortunately, Black Desert Online also leads to some scandals. For instance, cats could be part of a serious gambling scheme!
