==Step 1==
#REDIRECT [[Dash Faction Installation Guide]]
Visit FactionFiles.com to download the latest version of Dash Faction (1.3.0).

==Step 2==
Extract all files included in the .zip file download to a new folder in a location of your choice. Personally, I create a new folder named Dash within my Red Faction folder and extract the files to that folder, but it could be any empty folder on your system.
 
''The files should not be extracted directly to your Red Faction directory''

==Step 3==
Visit FactionFiles.com to download version 1.20 of RF.exe - this is the version required to use Dash Faction.

==Step 4==
Either delete or rename the existing RF.exe file in your Red Faction folder. The screenshot to the right shows it being renamed.
 
(For Steam Red Faction installations, the default Red Faction folder is ''C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\'' )
