Syndicates
What are Syndicates?
Syndicates are groups of interest operating throughout the Origin System separate from the Corpus, Grineer, and the Tenno. These factions have their own ideologies and goals regarding the fate of the system, with some inevitably in disagreement with another syndicate. The Syndicate console on the Landing Craft is unlocked once a player has reached Mastery Rank 3. Syndicates can be accessed earlier from a Relay through the Syndicate representatives there (only the conclave can be joined prior to reaching Mastery Rank 3). There are currently 8 known Syndicates, each having their own unique themes and goals. Every syndicate has a particular relationship with other syndicates, favorable or otherwise. Earning reputation with a particular group also earns reputation to a group they have favorable relationships with, but decreases reputation with another group that they oppose.
The Benefits
Each syndicate has a benefit to joining it. There are exclusive rewards including blueprints, Warframe augments, weapons, arcane distillers, and a syandana. Some of the rewards can be seen below.
