'''Faction Rallies''' are a week-long community activity introduced in ''[[Destiny 2]]''.<ref name="FRTWAB">[https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/46308 Bungie.net: This Week At Bungie – 09/21/2017]</ref>


==Overview==
==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]], [[Raid]]s, [[Public Event]]s, and [[Lost Sector]]s. 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.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/destiny-2-faction-rallies-start-soon-heres-how-the/1100-6453516/ Gamespot: Destiny 2 Faction Rallies Start Soon, Here's How They Work And The Available Rewards]</ref>
During a Faction Rally, players can pledge themselves to one of the [[Last City]]'s three [[Consensus]] [[factions]]: [[Dead Orbit]], [[Future War Cult]], and [[New Monarchy]]. This pledge lasts for the duration of the event and cannot be changed until the next Rally occurs.


==Supply retrieval event==
The objective is 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. These tokens can be exchanged with the faction representatives Arach [[Jalaal]], [[Lakshmi-2]], and Executor [[Hideo]] in the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]] to acquire faction-themed gear. When the Rally ends, the faction that amassed the most tokens across all of its pledged players is declared the winner.
 
To entice players to their side, each faction showcases one exclusive Legendary weapon as a reward, but only the winning faction of the Rally will sell their weapon. Those who pledged to that faction can purchase the weapon for 1,000 [[Glimmer]], while those who pledged to the other factions will have to pay 50,000 Glimmer if they wish to own it.<ref name="FRTWAB"/>
 
==Event-only changes==
===Tower vendors===
Arach Jalaal, Lakshimi-2, and Executor Hideo serve as the representatives and vendors for each faction. During the week of the Rally, they allow players to pledge to their faction and offer exclusive gear in exchange for tokens. When the Rally ends, the representative of the winning faction will sell the reward weapon for one week afterwards. All representatives will also continue to accept any unredeemed tokens for that week; if tokens are not redeemed before the next weekly reset, they will be removed from the player's inventory without compensation.
 
===Lost Sector supply crates===
For the duration of a rally, between one and four destructible, explosive supply crates will also appear in [[Lost Sector]]s across the [[Solar System]]. Destroying these crates grants one faction token apiece.
 
===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]] [[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.
