RECRUITMENT

Join K!L4

We're more interested in the person behind the controller than their K/D.

K!L4 is a UK gaming clan that's been around since 2008. We're here to win games, have a laugh, talk absolute nonsense and spend time with people we actually enjoy gaming with.

You don't need to be brilliant. You do need to fit in.

RECRUITMENTOPEN
WHAT SORT OF CLAN?

Not an esports team.

Not a second job.

We like winning. Obviously.

But K!L4 isn't built around compulsory training nights, ridiculous K/D requirements or treating Call of Duty like employment.

Some of us are very good. Some of us have moments of greatness.

Some of us provide important statistical balance.

What matters more is whether you're somebody people actually want in the party.

WHAT MATTERS

The important bits

Friendship

K!L4 lasted this long because people became mates, not because somebody maintained an impressive win/loss ratio.

Humour

There will be banter. There will almost certainly be piss-taking. Being able to laugh at yourself helps considerably.

Respect

The banter works because there's still a line. Treat people properly.

Getting involved

You don't need to live online, but joining K!L4 means becoming part of the group rather than simply wearing the name.

OFFICIAL POLICY*

The complicated K!L4 recruitment policy

1

Have a laugh.

You don't need to be the best player in the lobby. You do need to be someone people enjoy spending an evening with.

2

Don't be a dick.

A remarkably effective clan policy.

3

Get involved.

Play. Chat. Join Discord. Get to know people. Become part of the crew.

*Everything else is mostly admin.

WHAT WE PLAY

It's bigger than one game.

Call of Duty is where K!L4 began and remains a huge part of what we play. But the clan has long since become bigger than one game.

Call of Duty

The roots of K!L4 and still a major part of clan gaming.

Warzone

Squads, questionable pushes and the occasional genuinely decent win.

Multiplayer

Regular clan sessions, private matches and the home of many bad decisions.

PGA 2K25

Because apparently ruining friendships on a golf course is more civilised.

GTA

Where carefully planned operations generally remain carefully planned for approximately thirty seconds.

Games change. K!L4 doesn't need to.

GOOD SIGNS

You'll probably fit in if...

  • You enjoy playing for fun but still like trying to win.
  • You'd rather have a regular group than spend every night with random teammates.
  • You can give and take friendly banter.
  • You understand that real life comes first.
  • You don't judge somebody's worth by a scoreboard.
  • You enjoy helping weaker or newer players rather than abusing them.
  • You actually want to become part of a community.
NOT SO GOOD

You probably won't fit in if...

  • Every defeat is somebody else's fault.
  • You spend entire evenings screaming at teammates.
  • You treat weaker players like they're beneath you.
  • You're only interested in having a clan tag beside your name.
  • You're looking for a hyper-competitive esports organisation.
  • Friendly banter immediately becomes personal abuse.

We're not trying to recruit everyone. We're trying to find people who fit.

REAL LIFE

Gaming fits around life.

Not the other way around.

K!L4 members have jobs, shifts, families, children, careers, holidays, commitments — and occasionally something better to do than spend an evening getting shot in Call of Duty.

That's normal.

One reason K!L4 has survived since 2008 is because people are allowed to have lives.

We want people to get involved.
We don't expect them to clock in.

HOW IT WORKS

So what happens if I want to join?

STEP 1

Say hello

Join the K!L4 Discord and introduce yourself. You don't need an application essay. Just come and talk to us.

STEP 2

Get involved

Jump into some games. Have a chat. Get to know the crew. Let the crew get to know you.

STEP 3

See if it fits

Joining a clan works both ways. You're working out whether K!L4 suits you just as much as we're working out whether you suit K!L4.

STEP 4

Become K!L4

If everything clicks, you can be welcomed properly into the clan and gain access to the member side of K!L4, including the private HQ.

No ridiculous initiation ceremony required. Probably.

WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET

What being K!L4 means

  • A regular group of people to game with.
  • A Discord community.
  • Gaming nights and clan events.
  • Access to K!L4 HQ once you're established as a member.
  • Clan traditions and competitions.
  • Years of accumulated in-jokes you'll slowly be expected to understand.
  • The ever-present possibility of becoming Muppet of the Month.

We're not recruiting somebody for one Call of Duty. We're inviting them into K!L4.

⚠

Before joining

Being blamed for somebody else's lag.Your terrible driving being discussed for considerably longer than the incident itself.Screenshots of your failures being preserved indefinitely.Your breakfast being subjected to formal judgement.Discovering that zero kills has its own name.Being entered into competitions you didn't realise existed.

And, in severe cases:

MUPPET OF THE MONTH

Proceed at your own risk.

RECRUITMENT

Recruitment is currently OPEN.

Think you'd fit in? Come and say hello.

Join Us on Discord ↗ Email K!L4

Discord is the best place to start because it lets you meet the crew and get involved. If you can't use Discord, or you'd rather contact us first, you're welcome to use the clan email.

Joining Discord or emailing us does not automatically make somebody a K!L4 member. Getting to know each other comes first.

You don't have to have been here in 2008
to become part of the story.

We're still writing it.
