In Destiny 2, the factions are back in focus: The fourth group fight is approaching. Here are all the details and the weapons you can earn.
In mid-January, the third faction rally took place, which was also the first rally in Season 2. This event was heavily criticized: Bungie introduced new faction weapons with the second season, but players could not earn any of the new weapons during this rally.
The reason: The faction weapons of Season 2 were supposed to be gradually released throughout the season – which many Guardians did not like at all. Why should they play the group fight now when there are no new weapons to be won?
Now, in mid-February, the second rally in Season 2 is approaching, and finally, weapons are in the loot pool.
All information about the 4th group fight
- Start: February 20 at 6 PM – The rally starts immediately after the Crimson Week ends
- End: February 27 at 6 PM
Participation requirements:
- Have at least character level 20
- Complete the campaign
- As soon as the rally starts, you must play the Fraction Rally introduction milestone
- After that, you join a faction.
The rules of the game have not changed: Per character, you can adopt a faction (Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, Future War Cult), then collect tokens for it and earn as many reward packages as possible. The faction that releases the most reward packages after one week wins the rally. You support the faction by completing public events, strikes, and the raid, by looting Lost Sectors, or proving yourself in the Crucible.
The rewards of the faction rally
By completing activities as a faction member, you collect tokens. You exchange these for faction engrams, which contain standard rewards such as weapons and armor pieces.
These are the new Season 2 weapons that can now be earned through the engrams (2 new weapons per faction):
In Season 2, you can also earn ornaments, which you unlock by achieving predefined goals. You don’t need any “drop luck” for this. These are the ornaments:
Dead Orbit:
New Monarchy:
Future War Cult:
Additionally, the factions have winner weapons for you. Only the faction that wins the group fight at the end will reward the winner weapon:
Dead Orbit – Pulse Rifle:
New Monarchy – Pulse Rifle:
Future War Cult – Scout Rifle: If you are a member of the winning faction, you will receive the winner weapon the following week for 1000 Glimmer. But all other Guardians can also buy this weapon – however, for 50,000 Glimmer.
Two notes:
- The winner weapons available during the fourth faction rally will enter the loot pool of the faction engrams in the fifth faction rally.
- The Lost Sector throttling has been lifted with the last patch. Now you no longer have a time limit to loot Lost Sectors. However, you must defeat a boss for each chest.
We want to know from you: If you participate in the group fight, which faction will you support this time? So far, Dead Orbit has won once and New Monarchy has won the rally twice. Participate in the survey:
