Players will be able to increase their reputation with the vampire hunter Erys by helping their cause to fight the vampiric threat invading Sanctuary.

Players can access the faction interface and check their current reputation level (or «tier») by visiting so-called Hunter's Acclaim Boards in major towns.
According to Blizzard, defeating enemies or freeing villagers during the Helltide-like Blood Harvests, killing Blood Seekers, and completing season-themed Whispers will increase your reputation with Hunter's Acclaim.
The Hunter's Acclaim faction will feature a total of 18 Reward Tiers, rewarding players with seasonal items. Here is a first look at the faction interface and the 18 reward tiers:
A total of 4 different rewards have been shown during this week's developer livestream. It's not exactly clear what items these Reward Caches contain; a good guess could be Pact armor, which is needed to active all Vampiric Powers, or seasonal Unique items.
Additionally, increasing your reputation with Hunter's Acclaim will reward players with exclusive Vampiric Powers, Potent Blood, and other helpful items, according to this week's livestream.
