Revolution

The Revolution outlived a failed uprising in the Lower Levels and is getting ready for the next one. Its members need supplies and money, and they notice which shopkeepers help.

Who comes in

• Revolution Raiders sell supplies “liberated” from the oppressors, and every credit goes back to the cause. From +80 standing (Raid Loot) members come to sell off raid loot, at prices that improve with your standing.
• The Revolution Quartermaster sells Materials at a discount from +40 standing, and the discount grows with your standing.
• Wanted revolutionaries: Arthur Lafleur and Odin Haraldsson. See Wanted.

Raising standing

The Revolution has a bootstrapping problem: you cannot trade your way in. Only two customer types are Revolution, and both are locked behind standing you don’t have yet — the Quartermaster arrives at +40, raid loot sellers at +80, and even the marketplace request needs +20.

Until then the only levers are the ones that don’t need a customer:

What moves it	Effect
An Alarm Transmitter Module broadcast	+1, once
Shooting a confirmed aug	+2
A Revolution Marketplace Request, from +20	the reputation printed on the request
Trading with the Quartermaster or a raider, from +40 and +80	the standard rate
Shooting an ordinary customer	−10
Reporting a Revolution customer	−8, then 2 worse each time, down to −20
The blackmailer being caught	−30

Two of the eight faces on the wanted list, Arthur Lafleur and Odin Haraldsson, are revolutionaries: turning either in pays Security and costs the Revolution. Known Snitch starts you at −10 and Blabbermouth halves every gain, so those two perks make a Revolution run considerably harder.

See Reputation & factions for the shared rate and the multipliers that apply to every trade.

Standing and perks

Perks switch on as your standing reaches each value: good ones at or above a positive number, penalties at or below a negative one.
