How to unlock the Defector achievement in ELEX II - Definitive Guide
for this achievement you cannot join any faction, and finish act 3 of the main quest. Dawkins tell you that this is the point of no return (and thats the name of the quest). SAVE YOUR GAME, and tell Dawkins you are continuing without joining a faction.
tip: I did not join any faction, got the achievement reloaded my save. and because I did all the other side quests already, all I had to do was a few mission for each of the factions, join them reload and repeat for all the other faction achievements. the outlaw and cleric factions take a bit more effort than the others. I have "guides" up for all faction achievements.

Shortly into Chapter 3, you will be able to complete the quest "Partner of the 6th Power" which officially locks you into a faction. If you had joined a faction at this point, you'd be officially stuck with them, even if it was one of the two that have sub-factions you can switch to. However, when having the discussion with Adam during this quest, if you have not joined a faction yet, you can choose the proper dialogue choices to tell him so (they are super obvious) and you will then lock yourself into playing the rest of the game without a faction affiliation, unlocking this achievevement in the process. From there, so long as you've unlocked the achievements for the factions as outlined above, you can reload if you'd like and actually choose a faction to ally with and get the benefits of their skill tree.
