What is confirmed
- The main mode is built around three opposing teams.
- Each team has a distinct published faction identity.
- Official material does not provide a faction bonus table.
What this means for players
The safest comparison is narrative, not numerical. Lonestar is framed as a Western paramilitary force, Valkyra around a restored Soviet people's republic, and Manticore around the Kingdom of Persia and Tehran's shadow army.
Do not convert adjectives into mechanics. 'Heavy-hitter' does not prove extra damage, and 'shadow army' does not prove stealth.
After launch, this page will test whether equipment, vehicle appearance, spawn regions or progression differ. Until then, choose based on group and style rather than an imagined tier list.
What is not confirmed yet
- Faction-exclusive equipment and vehicles.
- Any combat, economy or movement bonuses.
- Long-term allegiance and faction progression.
