I’m sure all of us are incredibly excited for the next big update and one of the new features include new factions!
If Dirty Bomb were to have Faction-Exclusive Content, what would you like to see being implemented?
Is it possible to create better gameplay instead of just simply fleshing out the lore of Dirty Bomb?
“Contract” missions for each faction that last a few weeks and have several milestones for rewards.
Choose your side (even though it’s just renamed Attackers & Defenders).
Which ever side has the most votes gets a skin case or something. (Would also be a nice time to implement skins separately)
I imagine something similar will already be implemented, but it would be cool to have the faction symbol on the skin of the team members. This would be nice to remove some of the cobalt enemy confusion, and look cool in the process.
Turn it into an MMORPG.
Have story events, like TF2 and I assume WoW, and then make that translate to cool ingame things. Such as new weapons, new maps, and that’s all compounded by story events.
And vice versa, with massive lore changes and plot twists, all felt in game with huge wars and stuff, like kill tracking, and whatever faction wins gets a new shiny toy.
I’m drooling just thinking of the possibilities.

That’d be AWESOME.
There should be 2 base maps. 1 for each faction and obviously the normal attacker gets to defend on 1 map. You could then have mission in to collecting intelligence or something.
The bases could be identical but different colors for stopwatch (not sure if this is possible in engine though).
Right now I think Factions is purely cosmetic but they may have future plans down the road to expand the number of factions and their roles in the game to something similar to Survavirum or WarFrame. This is purely speculation, but I suspect that’ll you’ll be able to purchase cosmetic items from the factions based on your standing with them. However, it is very well possible that will not be the case and factions will remain merely a fluffy thing. Additional factions might be map specific based on the lore of the map (if so they’ll probably make it clear which faction is attack and which is defending).
