The Defiance Strategy Guide!

What are pursuits that everyone is talking about?

Great guide! You should consider adding this info (and the info in the links posted in replies) to the official Defiance Wiki page. Currently it's pretty bland and lacks information that this guide contains.

tasks that give you rewards

for example there are 4 data recorders in Mt Tam you need to find

Press "J" to bring up the pursuits menu

You can shoot the warrior-hellbugs in the lower back (yellow/orange patch) to do crits, too.

May also want to add not to shoot the small bugs at these Arkfalls, as they add the weak spots to the crystals.

Sorry just saw this was already mentioned (missed the post)

There are 3 hidden/triggered vendors (Crystal Pond, Caretaker's Cabin, and Hermit's Hideaway) Each of these have 3 special offers.

Something I mentioned in another thread. You could have a mission where you have to take out 3 or so objectives, maybe bombing some trucks or something. Both your mini and your big map will show markers for each of the objectives. But when you take one of the objectives out all them might still show on the mini map, but the big map will only show the remaining objectives and the ones completed are removed on it. So you can right click a remaining objective on the big map and create a waypoint. Then on the mini map it will show that objective with a pink marker and a path to it. That helps find the next objective when one still being shown on the mini map no longer exists.

There was mention of gaining faction with a list of the different factions. Now I see the various faction vendors listing items that cost faction point plus scrip.

I know how to make scrip, my question is how or where do I get faction based missions?

You're right, though those crits are very weak compared to the ones you get from shooting them in the mouth.

OK ranking of weapons/shields by color

White
Green
Blue
Purple
Orange

so far i think the only legendary weapon i have gotten is a purple. Also If anyone knows i really dont know if color is just rarity or if it has to do with stats.
