Despite being less than a month old, Destiny 2's first special event is about to get underway.
Starting 26th September, players will be able to take part in the Faction Rallies, a new affair that pits the three factions from the original game against each other in a bid to gather supplies and obliterate enemy resources.
Guardians will be able to pledge their allegiance to either Dead Orbit, Future War Cult, or New Monarchy and earn them faction tokens through public events, Lost Sectors, strikes, the Leviathan raid, or competing in the Crucible.
Of course this wouldn't be a Destiny event without some new loot on offer however. Each faction has its own special weapon for you to get your hands on, and they'll be purchasable at the end of the event. Those who pledge to the winning faction will only have to pay 1,000 Glimmer for the gun, while those who lost are charged a higher price of 50,000 Glimmer. Dead Orbit will hand out a scout rifle, Future War Cult a pulse rifle, and New Monarchy will equip you with a sidearm.
Faction Rallies is a free event that will last through until 3rd October, with anyone who has reached level 20 gaining access.
This scribe will be teaming up with Dead Orbit. Who will you support?

Damn it, no auto rifle ah well, pulse will do
Dead orbit as always...hope the gun is updated hung jury or angel's advocate
Dead Orbit all the way. They're the cool kids. Like anyone's bothered about 5k glimmer now.....
I could use my Glimmer to fill up the Pyramidion, because there is yet not enough useful to buy with it.
Was a New Monarchy man in D1 but I hate Pulse Rifles, Dead Orbit this time I suppose.
@Bonito Cayde maps are about the most expensive thing, and they're like 4800. Glimmer is a bs currency.
Dead Orbit for me. Looks like it's gonna be pretty quiet on the other two factions
@Gatatog My thoughts exactly
New Monarchy Elitists recruiting now, play king for the day as Dead Orbit bow. Thy only apply if one is a winner, or thow guardian loser will lose all ones glimmer.
New monarchy has the coolest clothes... definitely going new monarchy. Sad really that dead orbit's outfit isn't better.
@Gatatog exactly.
I got to rank 60 with Dead Orbit in Destiny 1, not changing sides now!
Having never played the first game I'm not sure who I will roll with? That said I'm looking forward to finding out.
@Johnnycide it's not 5k glimmer, it's 50k or half of the max. Glimmer is easy to come by but some won't want to part with half of it.
In destiny 2 future war cult have a very cool retro future type area...still going dead orbit though.
Is there any room in the push square clan?
@teknium_ Last time I checked the clan was at 72 members. The limit is 100 I believe.
Glimmer should be spent on treasure maps and mods. Nothing else to buy right now.
Dead orbit!! How could you not when the reward is a scout??!!
Hung jury mk2 no doubt.
I like to get the Dead Orbit scout rifle, but I prefer the look of FWC's inventory. Was also FWC in D1. Plus I can't get over the emo vibe of Dead Orbit.
Dead Orbit all the way for me.
