Syndicates are a surprisingly large part of Warframe. They don’t mean much early on, but they’re a particularly great source of various augment mods for frames and certain weapons meant for Mastery. With six different Syndicates to choose from, it can be tough to decide which one to put effort into. Here’s the best Syndicate to focus on in Warframe.
Who is the best Syndicate to farm standing with in Warframe
The Syndicate you choose depends heavily on what it offers, who supports that Syndicate, and which Syndicates are enemies of that Syndicate. Each Syndicate will have one Allied, one Opposed, and one Enemy to reflect this. All Syndicates, and their standings with each other, can be found below:
| Syndicate | Allied Syndicate (+50% Rep) | Opposed Syndicate (-50% Rep) | Enemy Syndicate (-100% Rep) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steel Meridian | Red Veil | New Loka | The Perrin Sequence |
| Arbiters of Hexis | Cephalon Suda | The Perrin Sequence | Red Veil |
| Cephalon Suda | Arbiters of Hexis | Red Veil | New Loka |
| The Perrin Sequence | New Loka | Arbiters of Hexis | Steel Meridian |
| Red Veil | Steel Meridian | Cephalon Suda | Arbiters of Hexis |
| New Loka | The Perrin Sequence | Steel Meridian | Cephalon Suda |
It’s worth noting that any Syndicate not listed for a particular Syndicate gains and loses no Rep when doing work for them. For example, Steel Meridian is completely neutral with the Arbiters of Hexis and Cephalon Suda. As such, you can generally focus on three Syndicates and be fine.
Each Syndicate also offers a range of augment mods for specific frames that other Syndicates don’t. For example, I’m aligned with the Red Veil since they sell augment mods for frames like Khora, Mesa, Nekros, and Saryn, which are all frames I use actively.
All in all, the best Syndicate comes down to what you need down the line. You should look at the mods that each Syndicate offers, then gauge it based on the frames that you currently play and the ones you plan to play. Listing one Syndicate and saying “this is the best one” would be both false and prove pointless once you’ve leveled them up and realize you don’t want their gear.
