How much can you interact with factions?

So, as a Stalker, you can’t really join a faction. However, you can work closely with them. Throughout the course of the game, you will come across these factions listed above.

You can work on your relationship with a faction by completing jobs. If you fail a mission or kill a faction member, your relations will take a turn for the worse.

Here’s how you can check your reputation with a faction:

Go to an NPC. Check the color of their icon. If it is green, your relationship with that faction is good. If it is red, you should probably start worrying. If the icon is white, then the relationship is neutral. 

Remember, the Zone is a dangerous place to thrive in. You can fare but only with the right connections. Make wise decisions and don’t mingle with the wrong group.
