Destiny 2 brings back the Sad Boys, the Decadent Counter-Revolutionaries and the Violent Nascar Fans – and they brought tons of loot with them.
This week, Destiny 2 is host to a Faction Rally – a special event pitting the city’s three political parties against each other in a friendly competition.
One this page we’ll break down what a Faction Rally is, give details on how to earn loot in a Faction Rally, and finally detail the loot and goodies on offer in the latest event.
What is Faction Rally?
During a Faction Rally, Destiny 2 players are directed by a Milestone to speak to each of the three faction leaders, and can then return to any of them to make a pledge. Once you have pledged to a Faction, you’ll earn reputation tokens for that faction during a number of Activities, which you can then cash in for Legendary Engrams as you would at any vendor.
As our Destiny 2 guide notes, vendor engrams are a great way to level up and get more Power fast, especially before you hit about 260 Power, so it’s nice to have another source of loot – as well as some different-looking sets of gear.
You can only pledge to one of the three during each Faction Rally, so make your choice wisely. Ideology aside, your Faction Rally choice depends on what kind of loot you’d like to receive. Each faction has its own collection of gear and shaders, mush of which is available in other engrams but is most easily obtained as Faction Rally loot.
Additionally, at the end of the Faction Rally the group with the greatest support will offer a unique weapon for sale. Those who pledged to the winning faction will be able to purchase this weapon for 1,000 Glimmer – and everyone else will be charged a whopping 50,000 Glimmer.
How to earn Faction Rally loot
It’s very easy to earn loot in a Faction Rally. You only need 20 tokens to receive a new Legendary Engram, and tokens are awarded for a variety of standard Destiny 2 Activities. You can easily earn hundreds of tokens an hour with focused play, and plenty just by continuing your usual habits.
One of the easiest ways to fill your boots is to participate in the new Faction Rally Public Event. As you’re wandering around a Destination you may notice clusters of public event symbols. Approach and you’ll find stacks of crates surrounded by capture circles. Stand inside the circles, fending off the baddies who come for you, until the meter hits 100 and you get the message that “supplies have been seized for the city”. Then simply move onto the next one. There are generally three or four sets of supplies per event, and once every set has been captured or lost, a loot chest will spawn with a stack of rewards.
Each day, check your Director menu for a new Faction Rally Daily Milestone. This will guide you to a particular Activity that rewards bonus faction tokens. For example, the very first Faction Rally Milestone challenged players to enter Lost Sectors in the European Dead Zone and destroy marked crates. Your reward for completing the Daily Faction Rally Milestone is a big whack of faction tokens, too.
You also earn Faction Rally tokens for the following Activities:
- Completing Strikes
- Completing Public Events
- Completing Lost Sectors
- Complete the Leviathan Raid
It’s very easy to farm Faction Rally tokens by finding a short Lost Sector near a fast travel zone, clearing it and fast traveling outside to reset it and start again. Do this too often and you’ll trigger a cooldown, but even so it’s a quick way to stock up – especially if the Challenge for blowing up supplies is active.
That said, Faction Rally tokens seem to rain down as you just fool about on any Destination, to be honest. Fill your boots by doing whatever you want.
September 2017 Faction Rally loot
Destiny 2’s first Faction Rally began at 2:00am PT September 26 and runs through 2:00am PT on October 3. Take a look at each faction’s goodies, plus the weapons they’re offering, below.

New Monarchy Faction Rally gear

As a reminder, Dead Orbit believes humanity should abandon Earth, and fancies black, white, grey and silver shaders. New Monarchy thinks the answer to humanity’s problems is to elect a single leader, and likes red, white and gold. Future War Cult is pretty convinced apocalyptic conflict is inbound so we should all fight all the time to prepare for it, and likes red, blue, and yellow.
I’ve always been a Dead Orbit fan despite their gloomy outlook, but those New Monarchy shaders look pretty fancy. Gold gloss? Yes please.
