Faction Rally

Faction Rallies is a week-long community activity introduced in Destiny 2.

Overview
Players can pledge themselves to one of the city's factions to collectively earn faction tokens for their factions (Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, Future War Cult) through various activities such as Strikes, Crucible, Raids, Public Events, and Lost Sectors. These tokens are exchanged for various reward packages containing faction-specific armor, weapons, shaders, etc. The prize is that which ever faction earns the most reward packages has their most powerful weapon available for sale to all players for 50,000 glimmer. Players who belong to that faction can purchase it for a steep discount of 1,000 glimmer.

Supply retrieval event
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 Incendiors or Stealth Tracker Marauders. 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.
