Today we want to show you some more information about the in-game factions,
character types and classes within Warside.
Set against a futuristic backdrop of three powerful rival factions attempting to dominate
the galaxy, each with their own backgrounds and political ideologies, players choose
their allegiance to one of the factions which will determine their starting planet
within the game along with the equipment available to their character.
Each faction has their own unique weapon technology focus as well as individual armour
sets making each faction distinct on the battlefield.
Once the faction has been determined in Warside players can then select one
of four character types and from there one of five classes, with classes possessing
their own preferred weapon types and gadgets. These choices of faction, character
and class ensure a high level of customization is available to the player from the outset making
their character feel distinct and unique to them on the battlefield.
