The first Faction Rally of Destiny 2 has come to a close, and the winners by a clear margin are... Dead Orbit. Because y’all have class.

Just like last week, Bungie is taking down the Destiny 2 servers for some weekly maintenance. But this time it shouldn't mess with your weekly reset at all.

So how does Faction Rally work then? First up, you’re going to want to hit the Tower and accomplish a milestone by chatting to all of the Faction vendors who represent Dead Orbit, Future War Cult and New Monarchy. One you’ve done that, you’ll pledge yourself to a faction and then the fun really begins as you earn some coin which can be spent on engrams. Let’s detail everything that being in a Faction has to offer.

Guardians can now play fewer Crucible matches, as opposed to the roughly several billion multiplayer sessions that the mode required originally for you to get your hands on some higher-powered gear (citation needed). Here’s the full list of what to expect when you boot up and update Destiny 2.

It’s time to choose a side. Destiny 2 is dipping into an age-old debate, as the dust of the Red War has settled as the Tower’s numerous factions re-emerge into the spotlight once again. Back in Destiny 1, players could pledge their allegiance to one of several organisations who were notoriously stingy with their handouts of themed loot. In Destiny 2, those factions are all vying for your attention again, appealing to that one common denominator in all Guardians: The urge to earn more powerful loot.

Now I’m not saying that if you ever find yourself on a spaceship that eats planets that you can get away with some looting, but I wouldn’t bat an eyelid if you did. Because on the Leviathan, there happens to be a collection of chests which hide a good few trinkets and tokens which you can use to unlock more gear. Want to get your hands on all that sweet Exotic loot? Here’s a guide for you.
