Destiny 2: Bungie Explains New Faction Rally Event

The most popular faction will unlock a special powerful weapon for its members.

Destiny 2 is getting a new special event called Faction Rally next week.

As detailed on Bungie's blog post, the event will let you pledge your allegiance to one of three factions from the first game: Dead Orbit, Future War Cult, or New Monarchy. Players will then have a week to support them by completing various different activities and earning XP.

By helping your faction out, you'll be rewarded with faction tokens you can use to unlock packages full of loot. The most popular faction by the end of the week will also unlock a special powerful weapon at a discount price of 1,000 Glimmer.

Players in the losing faction will still be able to buy the weapon, but only for the higher cost of 50,000 Glimmer. The weapons in questions are the Dead Orbit Scout Rifle, The Future War Cult Pulse Rifle, and the New Monarchy Sidearm.

The Faction Rally will run from September 26 through October 3 and will only be open to Level 20 players or higher who've completed Destiny 2's campaign.
