Sell me on a Faction

I'm not sure what faction I want to join or of I should just stick with the Vanguard and Crucible gear/weapons. I could use some help regarding what each faction stands for and if there's any incentive other than gear and weapons. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Look at your guardian Now look at mine Sadly, your guardian isn't a duke in the New Monarchy royalty. But you can look like one. Hunter, Titan, warlock, oh my. I'm on a sparrow. New Monarchy, puh-puh-puh-puh-power

  • What do you need weapon wise? Assault Rifle, go New Mon for vanquisher 8. Machine Gun, go dead orbit. What I did was rank up van/crucible to 3, rank up NM to 3, currently working on dead orbit.

  • On my Titan I picked dead orbit, sick black armor. It was a rumor that you get a black shader if you reach a certain rank. Still, it looks sick, anything else will make a Titan look like a retarded power ranger

  • New monarchy... false power to ease your souls need to control something. Dead orbit... maybe if you like Metal Future war cult... sober minded people preparing for a war that they believe the facts show is coming. Clear choice if you ask me

    • On my main, I chose dead orbit. Only wanted it because fully black gear is sick. On my new Titan, I'm sticking with vanguard so I don't need crucible marks. Basically, If you like PvP, pick a faction. If you don't, don't bother cause you need crucible marks for equipment

      • Didn't see a post on viewpoints so here's one for ya.... Dead Orbit-believes in independence from the traveler and seeks to flee earth. Future War Cult-wants to continue the war against the darkness. New Monarchy-basically wants to give someone a position of undeniable power (dictatorship).

      • Dead Orbit. Because we have a skull on the logo and "Dead" in our name, we are METAL AS F**K SON!! We play Cannipal Corpse and Mayhem as we kill our foes.

      • Legendary scout rifle, "The Calling", I got it when I reached rank 3 with FWC as a rank up gift through the postmaster. I was at a point in my game where I would use scout rifles in pve and auto rifles in pvp because of the fire rate alone, enemy players would usually kill me before I could kill them with my scout against their autos. Then I got the upgrade for "The Calling" that changed my rounds to exploding rounds, thats when everything changed in the crucible for me.

        • FWC has the best back story in my opinion, and not to mention I've missed Admiral Raan lol

        • IMO factions are for people who have time to put in the game who want very specific things from armor and weapon stats. For my Titan I want discipline and strength, for my warlock discipline and intellect, having those stats the way you want them can change the way you use your abilities and super. Examine your character and what abilities you use, pick a faction based on the stats of the armor and what you like. It's not a necessity but the more I play the more I have and want different setups/weapons/gear for different tasks or game modes. I like dead or bit for Titan and FWC for warlock.

        • Stick vanguard IMO. The factions really come down to which stats you prefer on your armor. I went New Monarchy for strength and intellect but by the time I had leveled up to rank three I had found better (or in one case the same) weapons the faction was selling just out in the wild. Vanguard gives you more choices on weapons after rank 3.

        • There really is no point to joining a faction. I can't think of one gun they sell that doesn't have a twin sibling available through either the Vanguard or Crucible quartermaster. Also, they only accept Crucible marks as payment for their stuff. So if you don't play a lot of Crucible, don't bother with the factions at all.

        • Vanguard, because you can actually purchase a weapon type you want and you know they'll have it.

          the future war cult stands for the fight! we want to push back the darkness to reclaim our homelands! new monarchy wants to establish a kingdom! not fight the darkness! dead orbit may have the cool color scheme, but they want to build fleets to run for the nearest solar system. they believe that the darkness can't be beaten! but we….. the future war cult…. will stand and fight! we will not abandon our brothers and sisters! join us for victory! join us for glory! join us…. because we will never surrender to the darkness! for it should fear our guardians!

        • An announcement from the FWC... We take the Tower from the corrupt, the rich, the oppressors of generations who kept you down with myths of opportunity, and we give it back to you, the people. The Tower is yours. None shall interfere, do as you please. Step forward, those who would serve, for an army will be raised. The powerful will be ripped from their decadent nests and cast out into the cold world that we know and endure. Courts will be convened, spoils will be enjoyed. Blood will be shed. The police will survive as they learn to survive true justice. This great city… it will endure. The Tower will survive.

        • Dead Orbit because their black and white default color scheme is better than the others. :D
