'''Factions''' are groups of characters.
  
−
There are a lot of factions in Underrail. Each of which can initially be either hostile to the player (such as [[Gangsters]], [[Raiders]], [[Bandits]]) or neutral ([[Protectorate]], [[Tchortists]] etc.). Although in the future because of the actions of the player, their attitude may change.

In the course of the game, the protagonist may join some factions , thereby accepting one from the sides in the confrontation ([[Scrappers]] or [[Black Eels]]) or choose further development storyline ([[JKK]], [[Coretech]] or [[Praetorian Security]]).

The player character begins the game, and normally stays, allied to [[South Gaters]].

=== Player faction choices ===

Over the course of the game, the protagonist may help or even join certain mutually exclusive rival factions: Taking side in Junkyard gang war ([[Scrappers]] or [[Black Eels]]), working for one of Core City's major corporations and oligarchs ([[JKK]], [[Coretech]] or [[Praetorian Security]]) or taking part in the conflict between expansionist [[Protectorate]] and [[Free Drones|Free Drone]] anarchists. The player will also have to decide how to deal with [[The Faceless]], a mysterious group of dangerous but not necessarily hostile dwellers of the Deep Caverns. Inquisitive and observant players may also find themselves presented the opportunity to join a secret society during their travels.

 +
In the ''[[Underrail: Expedition]]'' expansion, the player may side with the titular [[Expedition]] or [[Grim Jetters|Grim Jetter]] pirates while exploring the Black Sea.

The factions presented in this wiki (infoboxes, articles) are presented from story point of view. The technical factions controlling attitudes between characters are more complex. The baseline of how faction relations work is simple: If hostilities emerge between two characters (be it PC and NPC or two NPCs), their whole factions are now hostile to each other.
 +
 
 +
Everything else is an exception, and the two main exceptions are zone control rules and splitting characters into smaller factions.
 +
 
 +
* [[Zone Control]]
 +
** '''Uncontrolled and Partially Controlled Zones''' —  Allow assassination with traps without propagating hostilities.
 +
** '''Leave No Witnesses''' — Hostility propagation is delayed until you leave the zone, killing everyone prevents it.
 +
** '''Security Camera Footage''' — Delayed hostilities just from being seen in camera footage.
 +
 
 +
=== Technical faction list ===
 +
The simple hostility propagation means that characters often cannot always be a member of the faction you would expect. There are lots of small factions.

Factions are groups of characters.

Description

There are a lot of factions in Underrail, each of which can initially be either hostile to the player (such as Gangsters, Raiders, Bandits) or neutral (Protectorate, Tchortists etc.), but their attitude may change during the story due to the player's actions. The player character begins the game, and normally stays, allied to South Gaters.

Player faction choices

Over the course of the game, the protagonist may help or even join certain mutually exclusive rival factions: Taking side in Junkyard gang war (Scrappers or Black Eels), working for one of Core City's major corporations and oligarchs (JKK, Coretech or Praetorian Security) or taking part in the conflict between expansionist Protectorate and Free Drone anarchists. The player will also have to decide how to deal with The Faceless, a mysterious group of dangerous but not necessarily hostile dwellers of the Deep Caverns. Inquisitive and observant players may also find themselves presented the opportunity to join a secret society during their travels.

In the Underrail: Expedition expansion, the player may side with the titular Expedition or Grim Jetter pirates while exploring the Black Sea.

Game mechanics

The factions presented in this wiki (infoboxes, articles) are presented from story point of view. The technical factions controlling attitudes between characters are more complex. The baseline of how faction relations work is simple: If hostilities emerge between two characters (be it PC and NPC or two NPCs), their whole factions are now hostile to each other.

Everything else is an exception, and the two main exceptions are zone control rules and splitting characters into smaller factions.

  • Zone Control
    • Uncontrolled and Partially Controlled Zones — Allow assassination with traps without propagating hostilities.
    • Leave No Witnesses — Hostility propagation is delayed until you leave the zone, killing everyone prevents it.
    • Security Camera Footage — Delayed hostilities just from being seen in camera footage.

Technical faction list

The simple hostility propagation means that characters often cannot always be a member of the faction you would expect. There are lots of small factions.
