• Very occasionally, while you are in the middle of fighting hostile enemies in the vicinity of NPCs from a faction that they antagonise and is very close to being friendly to you, you may suddenly see the space filled with green HUD targets, indicating that the faction's Alliance Meter was nudged into the "friendly" territory because you helped them shoot up a common enemy. It will not make your fight any easier or harder, but you might feel a surge of joy when you realise that it literally happened mid-battle.
