When the Rally would end, the faction that amassed the most tokens across all of its pledged players is would be declared the winner | The objective was to collect as many faction tokens as possible during the event by participating in various activities, including [[Strike]]s, [[Crucible]] matches, [[Raid]]s, [[Public Event]]s, destroying supply crates in [[Lost Sector]]s, and completing the faction's daily milestone.

To entice players to their side, each faction would showcase one exclusive Legendary weapon as a reward, but only the winning faction of the Rally will sell their weapon. Those who had pledged to that faction could purchase the weapon for 1,000 [[Glimmer]], while those who had pledged to the other factions will have to pay 50,000 Glimmer if they had wished to own it.<ref name="FRTWAB"/> | To entice players to their side, each faction would showcase one exclusive Legendary weapon as a reward, but only the winning faction of the Rally will sell their weapon.

For the duration of the Rally, [[Patrol]] spaces feature an additional Public Event-like activity; this event does not contribute to the [[Flashpoint]] milestone or count as a Public Event completion. The [[Red Legion]] or [[House of Dusk]] will drop four supply crates which will be guarded by standard troops and [[Retrieval Specialist]] [[Incendior]]s or [[Stealth Tracker]] [[Marauder]]s. Capture each crate to earn a faction token. Once three out of four crates are captured, a [[Quartermaster]] [[Colossus]] or [[Vendetta Shank]] [[Heavy Shank]] will arrive to defend the fourth crate. After all crates are captured, a loot chest will appear with Public Event-level rewards. | For the duration of the Rally, [[Patrol]] spaces feature an additional Public Event-like activity; this event does not contribute to the [[Flashpoint]] milestone or count as a Public Event completion.
