Planetside 2 Best Faction: Which To Choose?: Page 2 of 5

Three factions of Auraxis
“GG in Unity. The Division is a noob team.”


Terran Republic

A mix of a Roman Empire and Soviet Union. A government that has fulfilled the dream of many dictatorships of unifying the Earth under one single banner, bringing an end to international conflicts. But once humanity has started colonizing distant stars, Terran Republic, who brought peace on Earth, has met a problem with the revolt on Auraxis in face of a rebellious terrorist from New Conglomerate, and brainwashed religious cultists from Vanu Sovereignty. Loyalty and brotherhood, are the pride of the Republicans who stand alongside each other, disciplined, and resolute soldiers who believe in the ideals of their Republic.

 

You wish to bring order and peace alongside faithful brothers in arms? Then join the Terran Republic! And listen to beautiful orchestral music while battling your enemies!

Firearms:

  • Terran’s infantry weaponry relies on high rates of fire, large magazines, and easily controllable recoil, sacrificing the overall damage. Terran’s weaponry despises clumsiness on the battlefield, so you better have high awareness to be always prepared to pull a trigger in the right moment, shooting accurately, for you’ll have little chances to make up for your mistake!

Vehicles:

  • Aircraft: Terran’s ESF - Mosquito, is the fastest aircraft out there in the whole game, making it the best option when the battle requires a quickly deployed cavalry. Mosquitoes hull is quite linear, making its hitbox very hard to hit at times, mixed with the highest acceleration - it’s good using a strategy of “hit and runs”. It can be equipped with air-to-ground and air-to-air weapons, or a mix of them, or one weapon only and additional fuel tanks that will increase the ship’s speed or afterburn capacity.

 

  • Ground vehicle: The perfect tank if you feel like playing a tower with tons of gunnery on top of it. Like Mosquito - it has the highest speed among all other faction’s specific tanks, thus it is quick to dispatch on the battlefield. But it’s the special ability of the tank, that makes it so unique - “Anchored mode”, which makes the tank stick to its position, and, sacrificing the ability to move, receive enormous projectile velocity as well as the reload speed, allowing it to send a hailstorm of tank projectiles right at the enemy. Can be equipped with anti-personnel cannon (more damage to infantry, less to armored units), anti-armor cannon (vice versa), and a cannon that has medium damage to both.

 

Strengths:

  • High rates of fire, great speed, a recoil with which even a child will manage.

Weaknesses:

  • As it was stated, TR weaponry relies on the rate of fire, sacrificing its damage. Thus being said, it’s not wise to try “one-tap” the enemy, unless you’re using a bolt action sniper rifle. You may also find many struggles, trying to fire at the enemy on long distances, shooting from anything but long-range rifles.

Why the Terran Republic?

Choose this faction if you are hoping for close to mid-range combats, or if you prefer carbines and assault rifles over SMG’s, but still want a great rate of fire. If you love speed, loyalty, duty, and epic orchestral soundtracks: TR is your choice.
