Xenos - kill em....kill em all

The junkers hand out missions against them from Rochester - which will help you alot

In the early game, you are working for the Liberty Navy and Police. They are the Rogues' hated enemies. This makes it sort of hard to get in with the Rogues, unless -- as stated above -- you kill the poor dumb Xeno sods. But I don't think you can even get to the Xenos until after a few missions from Juni. And even then, you have to commit genocide on a massive scale to get friendly with everybody but the Xenos. For an allegedly small faction, there certainly seems to be a helluva a lot of Xenos!

Don't even bother trying to help your reputation with the rogues if you haven't finished the campaign. As soon as you take another mission your faction rep with everyone will be set to what they should be in terms of storyline status.

It's an axe, I use it to...hack at people

You'd be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap

there is as already said little point unless you are using a mod to save you from having to do the storyline
there is a way to become instantly friendly with the rogues but its a massive spoiler so i wont post it here

Oh, killing Xenos should be okay. You can do it in the lull after the first mission when King dumps you back at Pittsburgh and before Juni calls you back to Manhattan. Just mosey over to the Ammunitions Depot (durr sorry forgot the name, it's the one on the left of Manhattan), Xenos tend to spawn around there, plus they drop pretty nice weapons that early in the campaign. You can also and launch/relaunch from the base there, plus it also gives missions against Xenos.

After a while you should be okay with the Junkers and Rogues enough to land at their bases. I don't know when Juni resets your rep though, so if you're planning on picking up anything from the pirate bases you better neglect the campaign for a bit.
