Lately, the fire has been spreading and has reached the Major armies. Fire Warriors reached Major status on October 4, 2026. Club Penguin Armies covered the news.
The rise of the fire
As their maxes gradually reflected their hard work, they reached the Top Ten ranking on June 21, 2026, in tenth position. However, it was only the beginning for Fire Warriors in the weekly ranking among the rest of the community. With hard work and determination, they reached ninth place two months later. On September 14, 2026, Fire Warriors leader AustinFraud announced the army had reached sixth place in the top 10, their highest ranking in the CPPS era.
Club Penguin Armies sat down with AustinFraud, Fire Warriors’ leader, for an interview.
How does it feel to be Major after opening in May?
It feels incredible that after three months after our revival, we have finally achieved major army status, which the 2021 generation did not even attain. When I re-kindled Fire Warriors, there was a lot of self-doubt, low motivation, and pressure to max more than 5 LOL. But I kept going through sleepless nights, this wouldn’t not have been possible without Coolguy, Justin, Sid, Noa, Pran, and my fantastic staff team. Would you believe me if I told you that at the beginning of October, we had only one staff member and two HCOM? We worked hard and now have a full course of quality staff/HCOM in the army. Achieving major status is a testament what FW could achieve in the future.
What advice would you give S/M armies aspiring to reach Major someday?
The S/M leaders can get major status if they want to. If I can do it then anyone can do it, all it takes is the correct mentality and the willpower to keep going no matter what. Leading an army requires activity, so you must be active, host as many events as possible, and focus on the long term rather than the short term. This means that you must carefully sit down with your staff/HCOM and train them, as this will help you lift your load and allow you to focus on other activities within the army.
Unc me had no idea how armies are being led in 2026, so I observed how other armies led their events and how they executed their ideas of running the army, which helped me come up with a lot of unique ideas.
What is the plan from now?
Get bigger, better and stronger.
What other huge achievements are the Fire Warriors aiming for?
I really want to achieve the all-time record for the largest size achieved by Fire Warriors, which I believe is 50. Our team is committed to reaching that number. Christmas Chaos is quickly approaching, so it would be fantastic if we had a legitimate chance of winning that as well.
Any inspiring message for your troops?
WE WIN TOGETHER, WE FALL TOGETHER. Pringles64 and his era coined this term. These words have lasted with us through everything; we have won many times, but we have also fallen countless times. Let nothing faze you; remember who you are a part of and never lose your warrior spirit. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Anything you want to say to the community?

The Fire Warriors keep their fire and determination burning bright as they take on their new title of Major Army. This milestone marks a new chapter for this generation of Fire Warriors. What will be their next step? What do you expect from the newly appointed Major Army?
