Factions Summary

Factions: Yakuza vs. Triads

A twist for Bangkok is the inclusion of Factions. By aligning yourself with one, or both, of these Factions, you will have access to different Job sets, and their corresponding loot drops, and the ability to purchase Faction specific equipment and boosts from the Faction Store.

Within the Job tiers of each Episode, you will have the opportunity to select which Faction you wish to support in Chapters 2 and 3 at Allegiance Choice Points of each Level. Within these Chapters, Faction specific jobs will be available, along with Faction specific job drop equipment loot. By completing Faction Choice Point jobs, you will add to your Faction Point totals: +3 points towards the Faction you are supporting and -1 points towards the opposing Faction.

Completing a Choice Point jobs that supports Yakuza yields:

The reverse occurs when you select a Triads Choice Point job.

When you begin Bangkok, the Factions Points bar starts at 50 points each.

When you reach 1401 points with each Faction you reach Allied status.

When fighting in Bangkok, each player on the Fight list shows an alignment with either Yakuza or Triads. By attacking that player you gain Faction Points with the opposing Faction that with whom the player on the fight list is allied. For example, bu attacking a Yakuza player you gain +2 Triads points and -1 Yakuza points.

By reaching Allied status with either, or both Factions, you will have access to that Faction's items in the Faction Store. The Factions Store contains four (4) of the best six (6) locations to acquire the best of Bangkok: Bangkok High End Loot (BHEL). Also contained within the Faction Store are fighting attack and defense boots.

Fights

Fighting in Bangkok incorporates Factions. The Fight list, along with the players name and Mafia size, also includes the player's Faction. By choosing to attack either Yakuza or Triads Faction you show your support for the opposing Faction. Example, if you choose to attack a Yakuza affiliated player, you will gain +2 Allegiance Faction Points for Triads and -1 Faction Points for Yakuza.

The Fight List shows Player affiliation:

By winning the Fight you gain +2 points for the opposing Faction of the player attacked and you -1 Faction Points for the Players affiliation. For example, if you attack a Triads affiliated player you gain +2 for your Yakuza Faction point total and lose 1 point for Triads.

If you lose the Fight you only gain +1 points for the opposing Faction of the player attacked and you -1 Faction Points for the Players affiliation. For example, if you attack a Triads affiliated player you gain +1 for your Yakuza Faction point total and lose 1 point for Triads.

By utilizing your stamina, and picking your target from the Fight list with a bit of care, you can significantly increase your standing with the Faction of your choice.

Given that Baht (B$) will be in short supply for a while, you can expect many players to use the Fight List as a means to raise cash. So bank your Baht (B$)!

Businesses

With the opening of Episodes 3 through 6 in Bangkok, additional Businesses have become available.

Initially the Businesses require Baht (B$) cash to open, by completing a specific job set, or reaching a level of Faction Allegiance.

After applying/reaching the Business startup requirements, and after various upgrades, a variety of Business outputs are available: Baht (B$), consumables for Bangkok progression and Fight Boosts.

Two of the Businesses produce consumables required for progression through Bangkok.

A suggested Business upgrade strategy is to upgrade the Drug Smuggling Ring and Piracy Operation businesses, producing Drug Shipment and Pirates, respectably, to support Episode progression prior to upgrading the Baht (B$) producing businesses. For those with extra Godfather Points, fully upgrading the Capacity of these two businesses significantly increases the number of consumables purchased for the same amount of Godfather Points (Upgrade storage capacity from 2 to 50 Drug Shipments or Pirates to allow purchase with the same 20 GF points).

Faction Store
