Faction Setup

One-Time Payment Console Only

Pricing

  • PlayStation — One-time payment of $75. Existing Premium members can upgrade to a Faction for $60 (must be the leader).
  • Xbox — One-time payment of $50. Existing Premium members can upgrade to a Faction for $35 (must be the leader).
  • PC — Not currently offered.
  • Payment covers initial setup. Base location can be changed at any time for no cost.

Setup & Discord

  • The Faction leader is given Premium / Priority Queue. This does not apply to upgrades.
  • You will receive your own private role on Discord, including a dedicated private channel.

Base Ping

  • Base Ping notifies you when a player enters your base zone. The radar must be placed on your base — it is not intended to be used to monitor general player activity. If abuse is detected we may disable the feature or add further restrictions to protect other players.
  • Ping zone size depends on location. Zones in large cities will be smaller than zones in rural areas. Typical range is 50–150 m.
  • We are unable to adjust the delay between a player entering your zone and your notification. Nitrado controls how often logs refresh, which can cause a delay. Our kill-feed checks for updated logs every 3 minutes but it is not uncommon for pings to be delayed 10-15 minutes.

Moving Factions

  • Factions can be moved between servers for free once per wipe. Additional moves are available for a $5 fee, which covers the time required to delete and recreate your faction on the new server.
  • Server slots for factions are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

General Rules

  • Once set, the Faction leader cannot be changed. Factions cannot be sold or transferred to another player.
  • Factions that have been inactive for 6+ months will be retired.
