Factions are groups that Guardians can join and earn reputation with. Most factions are based within the City, but some are found elsewhere, such as the Reef. Joining and ranking up in a faction allows Guardians to earn rewards.

The Tower

Guardian Factions

These factions give reputation to Guardians by default.

  • Vanguard: The default faction for all Guardians. The Vanguard advise Guardians on missions and see to the City's defense. Guardians earn reputation with the Vanguard by completing Patrol missions, Story Missions, Strikes, and Vanguard Bounties
  • Crucible: The City's competitive arena. Guardians earn reputation by competing and completing Crucible bounties.
  • Iron Banner: A special tournament in the Crucible. Guardians earn reputation by winning matches and completing Iron Banner bounties.
  • Cryptarch: Any Guardian who brings engrams for decoding are rewarded for their discoveries.
  • Gunsmith: Field test weapons for the Tower's gunsmith, and he'll reward you with a special delivery with one of the City'sWeapon Foundries.

Consensus Factions

These factions form the City's government, the Consensus. They support Guardians who pledge themselves to their faction. Guardians can only change their allegiance once per week, at the cost of 2500 glimmer. Players will continue to earn Vanguard or Crucible reputation in addition to reputation with their faction.

Quest Factions

These individuals seek the help of Guardians for their own agendas.

  • Eris Morn: A Guardian who is obsessed with stopping Crota, Son of Oryx. Completing her own set of story missions and bounties will unlock items for sale exclusive to her.

The Reef

Other Factions

These factions are named, but cannot be joined by Guardians or have any reputation stat.

  • Cult of Osiris: A cult dedicated to the teachings of Osiris. Players can interact with its representative, Brother Vance, but cannot earn reputation with them.
  • Symmetry: A minor faction that was founded on the teachings of Ulan-Tan. Barred from the Consensus for being too dangerous.
  • Concordat: A former Consensus member, ejected after its founder, Lysander, was exiled.
