How do Rallies and Riots in Frostpunk 2 work?

Rallies and Riots in Frostpunk 2 are small mechanics that can hinder your city in a big way if it goes out of control. While both events bring people out to the streets, the effects of a Riot and a Rally are vividly different as one opposes certain city implementations, and the other praises the player as a leader. However, it is best to keep an eye on both as they tend to go out of control and cause harm.

Rallies and Riots in Frostpunk 2 can erupt as a result of various factors like Laws, Research, and even Material scarcity. Players can pave a glory-filled path for themselves by handling each event differently while maintaining a neutral relationship with all Factions. Alternatively, a more radical route would be to condemn protests and end the problems before they start.

This article will highlight the significance of Rallies and Riots in Frostpunk 2.

What are Rallies and Riots in Frostpunk 2?

Rallies and Riots in Frostpunk 2 are two separate displays that the citizens showcase depending on two major factors - Fervor and Favor, respectively. The combination of these relationship metrics can either cause a Rally or bring people to the streets for a Riot.

A high Fervor and Favor meter creates the ideal condition for a Faction to Rally and helps rake in high-tier rewards. It is important to note that Rallies can only be triggered when Favor is filled and showcasing a golden color for the indicator.

If a Faction has a high Fervor and an extremely low Favor metric, there is a chance that a Riot will break out in the city. However, Riots do not erupt randomly and have a process that usually begins with minor disagreements and protests. These can be attended to individually and satisfy the masses.

For Rallies, you can choose to either extend it or end it. Riots are more complicated and might require supervision as the Faction would have certain demands where you would need to make promises. If you fail to solve the issues, the relationship might become worse later.

• Increased Faction recruitment.
• Increased Heatstamp income.
• Exclusive Group Demand that depends on the Faction.

What happens if a Faction Riots in Frostpunk 2?

Once a Riot breaks out, you can choose to stop it by listening to the woes of the citizens. You can then create more favorable conditions for the Faction by meeting them halfway and meeting some of their demands. This can be done by choosing the Faction’s research over others and proposing new Laws to support their claims. Players can also try funding their projects to improve the overall relationship.

Alternatively, if you have a highly favorable relationship with the opposing Faction, they might dismantle the entire Riot by themselves, saving you a lot of hassle. This might be an oppressive method that could negatively impact the city in the later stages.
