Their long-term aim is to unite the desert under their own banner and drive out rival factions. Because of the size of their territory, encounters with their scouts and war bands are common in the open desert and along trade routes.1515One of their named commanders is Desert Marauder Rusten, a field boss who fights from the top of a heavy desert war machine. Defeating Rusten is a required step for finishing a chain of faction quests tied to desert patrols. The Sandfang Marauders also feed into the wider bandit ecology around Bursada Ruins Research Team expeditions and other desert caravans.1717Related Articles1919Desert Marauder Rusten - Sandfang field boss.The Helms - the most vicious desert tribe, sharing the Crimson Desert.Goldenscale Bandits - dwarf-led iguana raiders in the same region.Savage Fangs - nomadic boar-riding desert band.2121Reputation and Rewards2323Hostile factions sit below Neutral in the game's five-tier reputation ladder, which runs War, Hostile, Neutral, Friendly, and Alliance. Groups at War or Hostile attack on sight and impose reputation penalties for entering their territory, which means the usual way to interact with this faction is through combat, bounty hunting, and the clear-the-stronghold style of faction quest. Reputation can still shift if the player completes specific story objectives that strike at the faction's leadership or disrupt their operations.2525Faction System Notes2727Crimson Desert tracks approximately 110 factions in total across the continent of Pywel, split across four classification types: Core, Hostile, Religious, and Other. Contribution XP from completing faction quests feeds into standing with the issuing faction and, in several regions, into a shared regional reputation such as Demenissian Contribution or Pailunese Contribution. Progress is tracked on the reputation panel in the player menu, and reaching Alliance with a faction typically unlocks a named reward set that can include armor, weapons, mounts, or cosmetics such as the Pirate King Hat earned through Vellua Fishermen's Guild content.2929For a complete cross-reference to every faction in the game, see the Factions overview page and the Faction Quests hub.3131Related Pages3333For a complete list of all factions in Crimson Desert, see the Factions overview page.
