How to max out reputation with the Integrators/make them friendly?

[SuspiciouspegasusTTV]

I didn't 100% know this and know that they could betray the cartel, but the game doesn't quite have any signs or doesn't quite give you any hints on how to do this.

There's heaps of posts about this though the forum, but in the end its mainly about 2 points
1) Giving them the APS in Santa Fe
2) Giving them the Sherman in Vega

Doing those two gets you to friendly. I'm not sure about 'betray' the cartel, but if you kill all the spiders I believe they don't send any forces to help them out. Then again, I'll admit I've never given them Flinch... I should see what happens there.

All it took for me was giving the tank in vega and that was enough to friendly. I never gave them APS and left the map before they turned hostile

if you give them flinch they will give you the tank, and yeah from what I understand they do not attack cuz of that.

If you use Flinch to hack the final robot in the arena (it's the fifth and final fight) it will go back to the Integrator camp and all of their robots will start attacking the Cartel. The Bradley guarding the main entrance and some other forces will divert over to their camp, and the main entrance will be left open for T-force's reinforcements. Technically, they don't betray the Cartel, but the Cartel thinks they do.

This might interfere with the Integrators showing up at Galveston however. I've bent over backwards for these guys otherwise -even skipped stealing their Midland tech from them with Lucia, and they didn't show up for me. Neither did Balsano though, so it may just be that I finished the mission too quickly (I zipped up to the pier with the explosives truck and some tanks, and flew Church and Mason up in a Blackhawk).

The question is if they ever show up, I'd like it to be confirmed by someone.

Just got the achievement for having the best reputation, happened after Vega mission. What I did:
- Sold them the APS in Santa Fe
- Didn't hack the robot in Tortuga
- Didn't give Flinch to them
- Gave them Sherman

Really don't think that the middle ones matter, or maybe they cancelled each other in my case.

I did the same things, yeah, Although I bought the tank from them in New tortuga, TBH I really wanna find out how TF you manage to get access to that Skynet tank/be able to control it since its hostile no matter what, so I just used C4 on it the nanosecond the big battle started. I honestly found the Vega mission to be the most supremely stressful mission yet. Since like endless enemy reinforcements I could have really used that tank.

The legion tank in new tortuga? It should only be hostile if you either gave the controller to the mayor, or if you hacked the spider and left, the guards of the tank will be killed, and if you don't go to them, you won't pick the controller up, so once again the cartel will get it. If you buy it/go to it after the the guards are killed you get it after a while. I wish you could control it earlier tbh.

I got that achievement.
They will never be friendly in mission. It's about access to better store.

Also don't forget to loot up the Integrator camp after they have been wiped out by the Cartel. If you are lucky you might even get one of their technicals. If there are any survivor, they will be hostile to you, this is fine. They will blame it all on the Cartel.

yeah but that doesn't make any ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sense, cuz you literally use it to kill the Mayor/use it as a bargaining chip to kill/get close to him. Its like in an RPG game where you sell somebody something, take their money and then kill them to take it back once you have their gold.

He literally tells someone to go take the controller to Miguel, he's the one who is commanding the tank, not the mayor.
