The Faction Wars have begun! Together, let us stoke a fiery tornado that will rage through the Valley and burn our enemies to ash!
This glorious booty will be yours if you join the Lunatics or the Firestarters, and fight relentlessly to bring glory to the factions of the Kaganate!

The fabled Blazing Bird spirit will grace you with its presence, inspiring your team with a big morale boost!

Proudly carry the emblem of the Fire Phoenix on your combat vehicle!
Our chances are now at 44%. We need more glory! Contribute to our success and partake in the spoils!
Iâm already doing my part (you can find these on my exhibition, PC):

Swooping down on my enemies like the Phoenix.

Mercilessly routing the raider hordes.
Help us defend the Red Rocks and conquer the Valley!

Iâm down with the Kaganate tooâŠI still havenât figured out how to build (exclusively) with their structure parts though.
Iâm with Kaganate. I always liked that area on the Adventure map.

Why would we not change to the winning faction right before the timer ends?
Because everybody gets the same rewards, regardless of which team wins. This contest determines which set of rewards we all get.
Last I checked the wrong team was winning, too.
How do you raise the faction? I selected Kaganate but it seems the other one is higher.

I think you just try and create as much activity (accumulate reputation) under that banner as you can. Play the hell outta the game while devoted to one of the factions involved.
To participate, you only need to select one of the following factions as active:
Scavengers or Steppenwolfs â to participate on the side of the Brotherhood
Lunatics or Firestarters â to participate on the side of the Kaganate
After this, all the reputation you earn in battles will also be taken into account in the progress of the Faction war. The result of each side is the amount of reputation the survivors have earned by working for one of the factions it relates to.
Reading over those conditions, I think it may help to doll up your ride a bit, and use plenty of decor?

It seems the Kaganate is going to lose all five stages. So youâll end up getting the Brotherhood rewards.
- Some misunderstood the event description as saying they had to be in the winning faction, or they wouldnât get anything when the event is over. Itâs the most ridiculous reason, and but the added percentages on the Brotherhoodâs side provided a rapid snowball effect. According to reddit, there are a few of those.
- New players go for parts with more HP, so they add extra advantage to the Brotherhood. And they can stay there for 70+70 days of levelling the basic 15 levels alone. Out of curiosity, I analyzed a few parameters of the parts in basic faction levels.

These numbers may not be exact, especially the count/estimation of blocks in some parts.
Blocks - the total number of blocks of all the parts with HPs.
HP - the total HPs of all the parts with HPs.
Weight - the total weight of all the parts with HPs.
HP/B - the amount of HPs per 1 Block.
W/HP - the weight of 1 HP.
W/B - the weight of 1 block, or âdensity.â
This breakdown shows that the Lunaticsâ parts could use some buffing. In comparison the the Nomadsâ:
a) They have fewer HPs per block,
b) Their HPs are heavier,
c) At a similar part density.
Similarly, the Scavengersâ parts provide many more HPs at considerably less weight.
Which is why it makes a lot of sense for new players to choose the Scavengers instead, and thus contribute to the Brotherhoodâs victory, even if they soon get discouraged by the grind and quit Crossout forever. There only have to be enough of them grinding those XPs at any given time.

Many will want rewards from the same theme. And even if some donât, due to the two above-mentioned factors, switching wonât be possible.
-
And after the first stage ended, we learned the percentages donât reset.

This event is a fiasco. The winning side should be decided in combat, e.g., by collecting âvictory pointsâ for oneâs chosen side. Or better yet - personalized rewards for each player, so everyoneâd be able to get the exact ones they like.
Maybe the Kaganate is winning on the PlayStation because the player turnover rate is lower over there, so fewer players need to focus on grinding for parts? And they have more veterans who happen to prefer the more colorful Kaganate theme? Some of whom even remember what Crossout used to be about years ago? Thatâs what the playerbase and the exhibition used to be like back in 2017 and 2018 - more of a Mad Max feel.
I crafted 3 Firestarter Standards, then stopped when I saw I wasnât making a dent in the result. Iâll keep grinding for the Kaganate, knowing that those XPs arenât doing anything. One more reason to finally quit.

My understanding was that âreputationâ earned would be the number that decided it, and it looks more like whatâs happening is simply based on how people voted initially by choosing sides. I canât tell if activity (earning Reputation) makes any difference on PC. The number doesnât fluctuate at all, and it looks decided already.
That sounds ideal to me. What we got is very basic menu war with very minimal mechanics (pick one of two cards), it would appear.
The artwork is nice, and I would have liked to have gotten some of the Kaganate goodies, but I havenât seen the needle move in days.
I canât say there was ever a chance that Iâd use either profile pics, but I think the Kagans was way cooler. If I was a dame, Iâd be more disappointed.
Sheâs bad-assâŠbut I doubt a lot of dames play this game. IDK.
