Welcome to a future where massive armies are skinning the bones of our once beautiful earth.

The war has long since lost all central command structures, and no single side has a complete picture of what's happening globally or who remains in control of certain former territories and countries. For Europa, long-distance communication is conducted via drones, which deliver messages that could be months old by the time they arrive. What is known is that each sector remains in an active state of conflict with their opponents, and until victory is achieved, there is no clear plan for what comes next. Some sectors are still governed by local command structures, while others are being run by virtual intelligence, locked in a massive strategic game with their counterparts.

Eurasia

Eurasia, a global government and corporate superpower controlling East and some of Central Asia, was extremely advanced in the sectors of bio and agro-tech. A rich and isolated false utopia, they have control over engineered crops that still grow in the planet's dying soil... but are quickly becoming a massively overpopulated coffin.

Europa

Europa, a military and governmental superpower comprising North and some of South America and Western Europe, was failing to care for its population. With widespread poverty and diseases, pollution and famine; a formerly rich and grand society clinging to the nostalgic iconography of totalitarian grandeur. They had all the land, and no way to feed the people in it.

Euruska

Eurasia's ally, Euruska, is a federation of former Slavic states and parts of Africa. They have taken the influence of Eurasia's biotechnology and pushed it to the breaking point... using living creatures as paint and sculpting their dementedly creative works of biomechanics.

Scavengers

Civilians near the frontlines take shelter in quickly constructed slums and Shanty towns built into the rubble and ashen crust above the dead city; or in the sprawling underbellies of Lost Angels, controlled by those who have chosen or been forced to stay near the conflict. PMCs, mercenaries, warlords, corrupt supply officers turned dealers, and scavengers. Scavs are civilians who have found ways to survive amidst the never-ending war... and maybe to make a quick buck for themselves along the way.

Minor Factions

Unlike the major factions, these minor factions have no Vendors, Quest Givers, or Reputation.

Reputation

Your actions in raid affect your reputation. For example, killing a Europan soldier will degrade your reputation with the Europa faction but will improve your reputation with all other factions.

Increasing/Decreasing Reputation

Actions that increase Reputation

Turning in a completed quest, quests always reward reputation
Killing a unit of an enemy faction
- Damaging/Killing a unit of a minor faction will increase reputation with every major faction
Selling any items to any vendor except Hidden Vendors, the total value decides the amount of reputation gained

Actions that decrease Reputation

Damaging/Killing a unit of the same or an allied faction, the bigger the unit the more reputation you will lose
- This also counts for scavs, damaging or downing allied players will decrease scavenger reputation
additionally, The Rat King counts as a Scav unit

Actions that have no impact on Reputation

Injuring or killing civilians
Completing or turning in quests that directly impact a third faction (e.g. Flames of Disruption, Discover the Truth) will not decrease their reputation, save for assassination missions as killing your target counts as killing a unit of an allied/the same faction
Looting
Abandoning Quests

Theater of War

Factions are locked in an endless battle for control over the game world. The balance of power is affected both by player actions and non-player kills during raids.

Balance of power

The percentage of a faction's control over a region affects the number and quality of units from said faction. The more a faction controls a sector, the more heavy units they will deploy, and the more dangerous it becomes.

You can check the state of faction control over each region by hacking Radar Walkers. This will display info about the region on world map, including percentage of each faction's influence over the region, and special modifiers that can be applied through sabotage.

Loading scripts

Faction control can be influenced by:

Killing units from opposing factions, both by players and non-player combatants
Performing certain Sabotage objectives

Sabotage

You can perform special actions to apply modifiers to relevant regions, such as blowing up a bridge to hinder troop deployment. The modifier will be applied for several hours. Any destruction caused by the sabotage will also persist across raids until the modifier ends.

Below is a list of all sabotage actions on different maps:
