Fallout 4 is a pretty massive game that allows players to take on the role of the Sole Survivor, a Vault Dweller from Vault 111 who is in search of their son. During their time in the Commonwealth, the Sole Survivor can make a ton of allies.
Whether they are building settlements and recruiting settlers to come and stay with them or are traveling the world, looking for people who need their help, the player character is important. Here are all the factions they can join in the game.

What Are Factions?
Factions are the many different groups throughout the game that all want something. Some factions want to help the world, while others want to condemn it. There are four main factions that players can join and then several minor ones that can be fun to join as well. Whether players want to be the good or the bad guy, there's a faction for any play style. Unfortunately, there are some factions that will always be hostile towards the player, no matter what they do (unless they use console commands).
Fallout 4: Best Play Order For The DLCs
Fallout 4 has four different DLCs. Here's the best play order for these DLCs and when they should be played during the game.
All Factions The Player Can Join
Here are all the factions that players can join in the game and how they can join them. Please note that while the Sole Survivor can join the four main factions (Brotherhood of Steel, Minutemen, The Railroad, and The Institute), players will need to decide which one they want to side with at the end of the game, meaning that while they can join them all, they will need to pick one to side with in the end.
Fallout 4: 13 Strongest Female Characters, Ranked
Fallout 4 may not be the most well-regarded Fallout tile, but there's no denying that it features a bevy of memorable female characters.
Please note that some of these factions are more likely categorized as allies rather than organizations the player is a member of. However, they are all factions that can accept the player with open arms (as long as they agree with the player).
Faction Name | DLC or Base Game | Location | How To Join | What They Stand For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Acadia | DLC - Far Harbor | Acadia | Agree to help DiMA and the Synths during the Far Harbor DLC. Keep DiMA's secret about Captain Avery. | Acadia is a place for Synths to go and live in peace. |
Atom Cats | Base Game | Atom Cats Garage | Repair their pump at Warwick Homestead. | They are Power Armor enthusiasts and will give the player a discount for joining them. |
Brotherhood of Steel | Base Game |
|
| The Brotherhood believes in preserving advanced technology. They do not believe in liberating the Synths and disagree with The Institute's technology. |
Children of Atom | DLC - Far Harbor | The Nucleus | Find The Nucleus in Far Harbor, go to the Spring of Atom and see The Mother, and then agree to join them. | The Children of Atom believe that the nuclear fallout was due to Atom, a deity that is basically the radiation in the world. To them, nuclear weapons are holy tools that represent their God. |

Harbormen | DLC - Far Harbor | Far Harbor | Help them with whatever they need while playing the Far Harbor DLC and inform them about the truth about Captain Avery. | They are the people who live on the docks in Far Harbor. They are mistrustful of outsiders but will accept the Sole Survivor. |
Hubologists | DLC - Nuka-World | The Hubologist Camp | This is more of a mutual relationship than joining their faction.

Minutemen | Base Game |

The Institute | Base Game | The Institute | Travel to The Institute after building the teleporter and agree to help out The Institute instead of everyone else. | They believe in preserving humanity through technology and created the Synths, which they view as robots and treat as slaves. |
The Pack | DLC - Nuka-World | Bradberton Amphitheater | Ally with them rather than the other raider groups. | This is the final raider group in Nuka-World. They believe in survival of the fittest and constantly try to become the "Alpha" of the group. |
