In Destiny 2, the weekly reset is happening today, June 26. The faction rally is live! With the weekly reset, new activities such as the Nightfall strike and the Flashpoint can now be contested. The weekly Crucible playlist is also rotating again.
A new week is dawning in the Destiny universe. After seven days of Iron Banner, it’s time for the group battles following the weekly reset.
The factions have proudly unfurled their banners in the Tower and are rallying their supporters to assert their interests. Guardians have a week to help their faction achieve victory while continuing the hunt for faction-specific ornaments and Masterwork catalysts.
Anyone who has already reached rank 50 and scored the best loot can now pledge allegiance to a different faction if they wish. Those who are dissatisfied with their current choice can now try their luck with another group.
All information about the current faction event can be found here:
The Destiny 2 Update 1.2.1.2 is now live. You can find all the details here: Destiny 2: Maintenance and Update 1.2.1.2 – What’s changing with the hotfix
