Raider rep

[WOLFHORS3]

So if I side with the settlers on the steal the goid mission is my raider rep locked where it is for good or can I raise it after the mission is over (I think it's secrets revealed) I been leveling it up cuz it said I wouldn't be able to do missions with the raiders if I went to the mission with the settlers.

You can still get raider rep even if you finish the heist with settlers. This game doesn't have any real negative consequences so it doesn't matter which side you choose, and you can do anything you want with the gold, keep it all to yourself, give all to which ever faction, or split it between raiders and settlers.
If you do the heist with settlers you will miss one very good weapon though.

When following the Vault 79 quest lines. You have a series of quests you do for Crater, and another set you do for Foundation.

Each one of them ends in a quest that is "Side with Crater/Foundation". Until you side with, you can do the quests for the other faction.

Once you side with one or the other, there are 2 or 3 quests that are locked out. Because they involve doing the raid with the other faction.

However, once you do the vault raid, you have a choice to make on how to split the gold, that will impact your reputation with one or both of them.

Once that is all over with, you will still not be at Allied with the faction you did the raid with.

You can continue to get reputation for both sides until you are allied by doing the faction dailies and other events/actions.

Keep hunting down Ward's missing pieces
Keep finding tubes for Wren
Keep tracking down runaway raiders for Rocksy
Take pictures of Foundation for Davenport and give them to Crater for Raider reputation.
Take pictures of Crater for Davenport and give them to Ward for Settler reputation.
After you cook the soup for Esme, whichever faction you give it to will give you reputation.
Participate in Moonshine Jamboree and earn Raider Reputation
Participate in Eviction Notice and earn Settler Reputation

It will be a grind, and you can never go back in reputation. But at some point, you will be allied with both factions.

Doesn't matter really who you do the raid with. You can keep getting rep afterwards.

I always do the vault raid with the raiders as you get the most rewards this way. Do settlers up to the point of no return and get the Chinese stealth armour for free from the mission. Then do raiders for the vault raid and get the free named plasma rifle

They both have a high probability of glitching out, and from personal experience, it would be easier to do them by yourself than depend on the Artificial Unintelligence.

But yes, Raider gets you Slugbuster.

Note, if you are a completionist as far as achievements, you will need to do it with two characters to get the Achievement for each side.
