It’s time to pick a side once again, in Destiny 2. If you’re still around that is. The semi-regular Faction Rally returns to Destiny 2 this week, as the likes of New Monarchy, Dead Orbit and Space NASCAR Future War Cult battle it out once again for bragging rights.

Maybe you’re stuck at work and can only log in later tonight to spend some of your legendary shards on new armour and weapons in Destiny 2. In that case: Where is Xur?

If Destiny could salvage its player-base after the kerfluffle that was The Dark Below when it activated The House of Wolves in expansion deux then maybe there may be some hope for Destiny 2 to make the right repeat.

The festive season is coming to Destiny 2 next week, and it's bringing along a bunch of new items for you to hunt for in the coming weeks.
