Completing that mission will flag your account with access to the NSO faction, and you’ll be able to create NSO characters from there on out. Visiting Sanctuary with a BR20+ character will provide you with a mission to learn more about the Nanite Systems Operatives faction. The robotic fourth-faction re-emerges with advanced technology including two new vehicles, a complete revamped arsenal of weapons, and most importantly, the NSO faction has become FREE TO ALL PLAYERS.
