What are the differences for the sub-factions?

[G-Yuki]

So i've hit the crossroads for joining a sub-faction my options are Rise or Frontier. I'd like to know what the differences, advantages and disadvantages for them before i join one of them.

[Yeti.^^]

It's mostly just your position on the north map, who you're gonna fight 90% of the time, and unique armour(s?) pieces to each.Risers get a Combo with a hefty (+12%!) movement speed bonus while Frontier gets a kind of mediocre Combat,ngl.
Mines seem to have a lot more trees in the way, so if you'd like some reprieve from all that greenery, Inflow is better in that regard.
If there's disadvantages, it's probably which flavor of bandits you'd like to hang around more.Mercs or Covies.
Now i'm a proud Frontier member, so i cannot tell you much about Mercs, other than they LOVE to border camp the forge exit.Covies are either rats, or the biggest ass-kicker you'll ever see, so that's kinda funny.

All boils down to location and armour, really.Plus, you can always change the faction for some rubles.Just bear in mind that once you start a main questline in a faction, YOU CANNOT continue it on the other side.

Appreciate the info. It's gonna help with what faction i'll go with.

You can switch factions later if you don't like the one your in

but it comes at a cost of a lot of rubles
and you can only finish the main quest line with faction you first pick
