Wondering which faction you should pick in New World? After picking your New World server, one of the most important choices you'll make in the open-world MMO is your faction allegiance. If you're unfamiliar with Amazon's new game, there's a few things that distinguish it from your usual MMO game; there are no classes, you can only have one character per server, and the player base is split into three factions: Marauders, Syndicate, and Covenant.
The faction you choose has a big impact on your gameplay. After selecting one, you cannot join a different faction for the next 120 days, and you are restricted to joining companies - guilds, essentially - that match your faction. If you opt-in to New World PvP, you can be attacked by players of rival factions while outside safe areas.
You can also represent your faction in Wars, 50v50 PvP battles, over control of a settlement. The winner gets to be in charge of the settlement's development and tax rates, and also receives buffs in the local area. So, there are plenty of reasons to pledge your allegiance - but how do you decide on your New World faction?
