Hello everyone,
With the upcoming Energy Surge season beginning September 25, guilds will have the opportunity to earn HQ Hideout status for one of their Hideouts beginning with Season 14. Based on community feedback on this feature, we have updated the requirements for earning an HQ Hideout during the Energy Surge season. Please note that these numbers are balanced for the Energy Surge season, and the various Season Point and zone type requirements will likely change in future seasons.
| Season Point Threshold | Max Zone Quality Level | Max Zone Tier |
| 200,000 | 6 | 8 |
| 120,000 | 5 | 8 |
| 80,000 | 4 | 8 |
| 40,000 | 3 | 7 |
| 20,000 | 3 | 6 |
| 10,000 | 1 | 6 |
Additionally, only the top 600 guilds of the season can qualify for an HQ Hideout.
