The Firestarters faction is available on PS4 and XBOX - One!

Survivors! Pyromaniacs and those who want more insanity! Firestarters came to the Wastelands!

New faction ‘Firestarters’

Joining the ‘Firestarters’ faction becomes possible after reaching level 10 with the ‘Lunatics’ faction.

When Khan began to unite the numerous gangs, he faced the problem of ideological unity among the half-crazed raiders. He had to find something that everyone would fear more than death. Instead of inventing something new, he turned to witches, sorcerers and other psychics already existing in the mass consciousness (and newly appeared in wastelands after the disaster).

He personally met with several of them and made an offer to everyone, which was impossible to refuse. Thus began to form a caste, responsible for ideological work with the masses.

For several years the quantity and quality of the Firestarters has increased. Now each unit has at least one mobile tent, or a mortar, or a cauldron, or at least a crystal ball, through which they contact the beyond. And control raiders.

And to ensure security in the material world, each such car has an elite guard unit.

Portraits

Now, after reaching the third level of the faction, the player gets a new portrait ‘Sangay’

• Came from the south a few years after the disaster. Firestarters did not ask him what he had been doing all this time, and they deserved the trust of Sangay. he silent warrior, obediently carrying out the strictest orders, quickly fit into the gang and won the favour of their leader, Odeon, and rose to the honorary post of the standard-bearer (and sometimes the assassin).But these days such unconditional devotion to anything is hard to believe. Most likely, Sangay experienced something so terrifying during the disaster that all he's left with is following someone else's orders.

Now, after reaching the seventh level of the faction, the player gets a new portrait ‘Etna’

• You won't confuse Etna with any other girl from the Wasteland — her height and bright red hair really make her stand out. She was born among Firestarters after the disaster and was named in honour of the active volcano. She always follows their ritual chariots and one day wants to get behind the wheel of one of them. The only one who does not fear the rage of the raging Vesuvius and can calm him down.Has an affectionate nickname ‘kind volcano’.

Now, after reaching the 15th level of the faction, the player receives a new portrait ‘Vesuvius’

• One of the most dangerous Firestarters. Hates the whole world and hid from people after a catastrophe, when only ashes remain from his native city. Known for his patient nature. Rarely loses his temper, but when he does, it's better to stay away. Ruthless, uses an open flame as a battle flag.
