Which gang do you prefer?

[alation13]

So there is very little info online about this game. I am curious as to the differences between the gangs and which one do people prefer to join.

If there is an actual reason aside from "I just randomly chose", it would be good to hear peoples opinions.

The leaders said that one was about point blank brute force and the other was about sabotage and distance. Started up a new game so I didn't particularly know anything more than that due to how quickly they shoved the choice on you so..

I went with Hypernova because my smuggler background brought rope as it's random item and I had a night 1 Whip... flow with what the game gives you kinda thing.

I went with hypernova purely because I needed to get my hope up, so was heading to the bathroom anyway. I am playing a "RAT KING" build, so I am not sure which will be more helpful for this.

Hypernova has a perk to boost rat followers at level 1 and other gang has a perk to boost hired followers

The items in the gang shops are different. They get different weapons available. Hypernova focuses more on consumables (grenades, etc.), while Galaxy Fist has an end-game (I think) stun baton weapon as the final unlock.

The passives you get while ranking up MIGHT be different. As far as I know, the two gangs share the same passives for the first two times where you can choose one (i.e. upon joining a gang and first rank up). But Hypernova is confirmed to have the option to get a passive of reducing drone leadership cost by 1 (i.e. the better version of the rat passive in a sense since drones are effectively a better version of rats). Yet, it is unsure whether Galaxy Fist gets the same option

Hypernova has a "MechRat" at the bottom of their crafting table. Ir requires an untrained rat and a few other easy to acquire ingredients. As far as I have seen, it is your top tier rat. It may not be as powerful as a named gang member, but really plays into my "RAT KING" build.

gravity fist does as well, sadly the final robot is so much stronger with upgraded guns, still my saboteur destroyed the game with plaque rats up until unlocking the robots.

With the big gun and armour upgrades the robot is way more powerful, but I didn't find the base killer robot more powerful than the base mechrat. I am not sure if the gun is bugged though, because it doesn't have a durability and just disappears.

FYI: Stun Baton is super OP. Def go with whatever gang gives you that.

gravity fist gives the upgraded version, the basic version drops from guards.

Game utility wise I have to say I like gravity fist but going by the prisoners and their stories I think I have to give it up to hypernova. I've enjoyed their stories more and attitude of the the members more then gravity fists not to say their stories are bad.

Yeah, that's what I meant. The upgraded one lets you basically stun-block most enemies. I equipped them on all my party members and cheesed every fight, including the last boss fight.

ah kinda sad. Game needs a hard mode. Double cost of hope/hunger and upgrade the fights a little.

I love the bones of the game and the idea of it.
