Destiny 2: All faction weapons from Curse of Osiris – Why aren’t they dropping?

With Curse of Osiris and Season 2, there are plenty of new faction weapons that you can earn through the Faction Rally in Destiny 2. However, there is a problem: they are not dropping.

The Guardians are currently facing a puzzle: The first Faction Rally since the launch of Curse of Osiris and Season 2 is underway, but no new faction weapons want to drop from the engrams.

On reddit, many users complain that they have not received a single new weapon yet. The first videos on YouTube show that the team battles do not have new loot, that players should save their tokens, and that Bungie needs to implement a hotfix soon. It is assumed that there is a bug here – after all, a Faction Rally in a new season without new weapons would be quite lame. Update: Here is Bungie’s statement.

In the game itself, you can march to the factions and inspect the possible contents of the engrams. And indeed: No new faction weapons are displayed in the loot pool. Only new ghost shells, sparrows, ships, and shaders, old weapons and armor pieces, as well as a new pistol called Peace through Consensus:

Peace through Consensus, however, has only unimpressive perks (precision and stability are improved when firing from the hip) and a special unlocking condition: you must pledge loyalty to each faction.

Are there any new faction weapons at all?

But what about the “real” new faction weapons? Are there any at all?

A look into the databases shows: Yes, each faction has been given five new weapons with Curse of Osiris and Season 2.

So far, we have not received any official statement from Bungie about how to obtain these weapons. Currently not through the faction engrams. And the three new auto rifles are the winner weapons in the current rally, so they are not available in the engrams either.

Possibly, the remaining new faction weapons will only be made available in the upcoming team battles, but many Guardians speculate that this is more of a bug. The fact that no new faction weapons can currently drop from the engrams is already strange. For those who already have all armor pieces and all old weapons, it hardly pays off to open faction engrams.

Actually, since the Hotfix 1.1.1.3, all items from Season 2 should also be available to Guardians without the DLC. It is possible that the fix caused the problem, and that the faction weapons are no longer available to anyone.

We now provide an overview of the new faction weapons of Season 2 that can be found in the databases.

Note: The auto rifles are the winner weapons of the first Faction Rally in Season 2.
