Factions

Faction, reputation, and trader relationship notes.

Steam says Scavland contains 10 factions. Public v0.5.117 notes name Rada, Commonfolk, Acolytes, Mechanists, Palatines and Gunners through Raisa reconciliation jobs, so this page tracks the known faction layer without inventing the remaining roster.

Steam confirms 10 factions in total. The remaining names, exact standings, rewards and hostile thresholds should wait for direct Early Access capture.

Named traders

The public build notes name Anatoly, Nadja, Raisa, Grigory, Jasna, Marco, Olga, Sasha and Volodymyr. Nadja sells more Screws; Sasha no longer sells the 3-Line Nagant (03); Volodymyr has no rank requirement on his items. Those stock changes belong on trader pages too, but they matter here because trade access and faction standing can overlap.

Reputation decisions

Contracts and story choices can affect relationships. Before taking a job against a named group, check the objective and current standing in-game. This is especially important for jobs that mention a settlement, named faction, reconciliation task or trader route.
