In Destiny 2, the Faction Rally starts next week, offering unique rewards for the winners!
Two weeks ago, Bungie released a graphic detailing the activities scheduled for September in Destiny 2. It showed that a Faction Rally will start on September 26. However, what exactly this entails was not previously known.
Now there is detailed information from Senior Designer Tim Williams, who talks about the “Faction Rallies,” which are referred to as “Group Battles” in the German blog post.
What are the Group Battles in Destiny 2?
The upcoming Faction Rally is a limited-time event.
- It starts on September 26 at 11 AM
- and ends on October 3 at 11 AM.
In the Faction Rally, you can pledge your loyalty to a faction (per character). The Dead Orbit, Future War Cult, and New Monarchy, known from Destiny 1, are returning. You can find more information about these three factions in Destiny here.
Each of the groups in the Tower hosts a rally to gather resources for their cause. They recruit Guardians – that is, you – to collect supplies and destroy enemy resources.
Specifically, this means: You can go to Arach Jalaal (Dead Orbit), Lakshmi-2 (FWC), or Executor Hideo (New Monarchy) in the Tower, pledge your allegiance to one of them, and then complete a variety of activities to fight for their cause. You support the faction by completing Public Events, Strikes, and the Raid, looting Lost Sectors, or proving yourself in the Crucible.
Requirements are: You must be level 20 and have access to the Tower.
What are the rewards of the Faction Rally?
Once you have mastered activities, you will receive Faction Tokens. You can exchange these for reward packages that are rumored to be full of loot.
Bungie shared images of the Faction rewards, showing that the packages may contain faction-specific armor pieces, weapons, and shaders, as well as Legendary Shards and other items.

The items from the New Monarchy:
The items from the Future War Cult:
But that’s not all: Each faction offers a special weapon that they only sell if the faction emerges as the winner of the rally. In other words, only one of the three special weapons will be available at the end of the rally. The faction wins whose Guardians open the most reward packages.
These are the special weapons:
Dead Orbit – Scout Rifle:
New Monarchy – Hand Cannon:
Future War Cult – Pulse Rifle:
The winning faction offers this special weapon not only to the Guardians who pledged their loyalty, but to all Guardians. However, with the difference:
- The Guardians who were members of the winning faction will receive the weapon for 1000 Glimmer.
- All others must pay 50,000 Glimmer.
