Factions

Factions are split into Major and Minor groups.

Being allied or opposed to the Major factions represents significant strategic decisions and consequences for your gang.

Decisions related to the Minor factions are less important as groups in Minor factions are small and have no strong relationships for, or against, the larger factions.

Not all NPC gangs are aligned with a faction.

Faction-to-faction relationships range from Ally (+100) to Hated (-100)

Faction members are also detailed here.

Factions and Gang Membership

The membership makeup of your gang will also have an effect on your Reputation with the various factions.

• Having high rep with mutant factions will boost the percentage of your gang that can be mutants, having a low rep with them will reduce this percentage
• Having mutants in your gang will reduce your rep. with factions that hate mutants and increase your rep. with the mutant faction(s)

No Faction

Various Arena Gangs Your gang will have specific reputation with selected arena gangs and deathracing gangs. These will usually be neutral, but these gangs can dislike you and target you specifically in a combat/deathrace. Alternatively, if you show them mercy in events (i.e. respecting resignations) they may view you positively, and not target you.

Some of these gangs also like/dislike each other.
