In the chaotic world of Destiny 2, choosing a faction in the Lawless Frontier isn’t just a matter of gameplay—it’s about aligning with a community that resonates with your style. Each faction offers unique benefits, items, and gameplay opportunities, making your choice significant. Are you ready to dive into the Syndicate system?
Understanding the implications of your choice is crucial, especially if you’re eager to optimize your gaming experience. With years of experience guiding players through these choices, I’m here to break down what you need to know.
Which Syndicate in Destiny 2 Should You Choose?
Deciding which Syndicate to pledge your allegiance to depends heavily on your personal playstyle. You should weigh the benefits offered by each faction. A little hint: the Tharsis Reformation boasts the best Praxic Blade mod, while the Totality Division wields an impressive Renegade ability called Behemoth.
It’s wise to stick with one Syndicate until you reach max rank. This approach unlocks the Fellow Friend triumph, enabling you to enhance your Renegades drops after interacting with Spider.

Can You Switch Syndicates in Destiny 2: Renegades?
Switching Syndicates is straightforward if you haven’t completed your priority contract for the day. Head over to your chosen faction’s representative at the Tharsis Cantina and interact with their banner to change allegiance. Remember, doing so isn’t without its costs—frequent switches might hinder your progress.
Even if you opt for a different Syndicate, using Dark Metal Ingots allows you to gain XP with any faction, even those you aren’t currently pledged to.
