Factions

The three sides of the war, and what being assigned to one actually means.

The Three Factions

Three factions of 33 players each load into every match. You're assigned to one and stay there for the whole match — see Game Modes.

What Your Faction Changes

Your Colour

Enemies are shown in their own faction's colour, so colour is how you read the battlefield at a glance. It never changes mid-match.

Locked For The Match

Assignment is permanent for that match. You can't switch sides partway through.

What It Doesn't Change — Your faction does not restrict your loadout. Every faction can buy the same full roster of weapons, gear, and vehicles at HQ. Vehicle manufacturers like PATRIOT, AZAR VM, and Rhineritter are vendor branding, not faction allegiance.
