Faction Shards & Lockboxes

Faction Shards are collectible utility NFTs that can be combined to create Faction Lockboxes. This system is designed to encourage specialization, cooperation, and player-driven exchange both in-game and, where supported, on external platforms.

There are four Faction Shards to collect, each tied to one of the game's core factions: The Forge, Verdant Vanguard, Echelon of Eternity, and The Helix Institute.

Three primary ways to obtain Faction Shards:

  • The Initiate's Path: As an Initiated Raider, raid the Fairwater and Cliffside maps to find and loot Council Caches. These may contain one of 4 Faction Shards alongside 1 or 2 ALLOY.

  • The Stalker's Path: Without an Initiate NFT, players can choose a more direct approach by looking for other raiders (players) in a map and looting their Shards and ALLOY after successful PVP encounters.

  • The Merchant’s Path: Players can also obtain Shards from other players, including via external NFT platforms, carried out independently at their own discretion and risk.

Collect, craft & loot Different Faction Shard drops are random, meaning you will naturally accumulate a mix from all four factions. Once you have collected five shards of the same faction, you can use them to craft a Faction Lockbox NFT in the Biolab Module. Faction Lockboxes can then be used in the Engine to unlock a random amount of 100 to 10,000 ALLOY.
