Reputation plays a pivotal role in Broken Gate and takes the place of levels and experience. So while every player is equal in terms of physical capabilities, their reputation is what determines their access to facilities, turf, and even unique faction weapons/TARGEs. Player Faction reputation will even affect who is hostile to the player and who is an ally. As the big three factions are all hostile towards each other, as a player gains positive reputation with one, they gain negative with the others. Ultimately altering where is safe for the player to operate and where becomes dangerous.

As a player gains reputation they gain access to unique missions, facilities and craftables.

There are several primary factions that the player will work for to earn reputation. Of course there are the three main Factions of Broken Gate but also smaller guilds and associations that will provide the players with unique benefits.

These include:

• The Hawkshaw Association, a bounty hunting guild. (PVP)
• The Artificer’s Guild, for fabricators and craftsmen.
• The Hunter’s Call, for monster hunting. (PVE)
• Archibald’s Exploratoria.
• Scornie’s Scalvaging Service.
• The Underbroker. – A mysterious individual strangely invested in your character’s continued existence.

Each association will provide the players with meaningful quests and goals in order to deepen their involvement with the world of Broken Gate. Hopefully creating a compelling gameplay cycle that keeps the players motivated and engaged.

Reputation grows slowly as players complete quests and passive quests. Reputation won’t change until the player turns in their progress at an approved guild location.

The Hawkshaw Association

A bounty hunting guild founded originally in the fortress cities of the Conglomeracy. During the early days of the second city there were not enough enforcers to deal with every crime that occurred. So the Hawkshaw association was formed as an outlet for hiring mercenaries to carry out the jobs of the state without actually hiring them.

The Hawkshaw Association operates out of a neutral zone, independent from the three major factions.

The Hawkshaw Association deals with Bounty Hunting and other kinds of mercenary work that includes the tracking, killing, or capturing of Human NPC or Player targets.

As players increase their reputation with Hawkshaw they will gain access to improved weapons mods, unique weapons and combat based components. As Hawkshaw’s is primarily concerned with Combat oriented gameplay their rewards reflect this.

Scornie’s Scalvaging

Scornie’s Scalvaging is the most prolific scalvaging service amongst the Terranuan factions, Scornie himself coined the term “Scalvage” which was a combination of the words Scavenge and Salvage, both of which Scornie claimed to offer as a package deal. Scornie has since passed on but not before his particular Scalvaging service, and terminology, expanded across Terranuo.

Scornie’s Scalvaging operates all across Terranuo, both within faction strongholds and in the frontier. As Scornie’s Scalvaging operates in neutral zones, a personal security force is employed by the company as well.

Scalvaging is the act of tearing down ruined vehicles and TARGEs and turning them into processable materials. Player’s might possess handheld cutting tools or choose to outfit their TARGEs with a salvaging loadout. As scalvaging requires a lot of cargo, bringing along transportation vehicles, or similarly outfitted TARGEs is a must.

Scornie’s will reward players with increased scalvaging capabilities through enhance components, upgrades, and equipment.
