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.

In a 2020 video, [[Luke Smith]] announced that faction rallies would be removed from the game, as "the reward gear hasn't been used that much, our character cast is growing too large, and crucially, they didn’t drive a bunch of engagement with the game." Rally-specific gear was added to the world loot pool in the [[Season of the Worthy]], while Lakshmi-2 and Executor Hideo were removed from the Tower as of [[Beyond Light]]. | ||
