Destiny 2’s next Faction Rally event will kick off on February 20 as part of the weekly reset, Bungie has revealed. Right now you’re probably busy with the Valentine’s Day-themed Crimson Days, which happens to shut up shop on the same day. 

Once again, Guardians will have to pledge their support to one of three factions: Dead Orbit, Future War Cult, or New Monarchy. The latter has actually emerged victorious for the last two Faction Rallies, so why not give the space emos a chance next week?

This time around you can take part in Lost Sectors without a timer on, and as usual, there’s a number of new weapons up for grabs (seen in the image above). If you’ve backed the winner you can claim your prize for just 1,000 Glimmer; everyone else will have to cough up a more exorbitant sum of around 50,000.

Looking ahead, Bungie will outfit Destiny 2 with another major update later this month, which among other things will heavily tweak the Nightfall Strike. There’s also a new expansion due later this year, but details are being kept under wraps for now.

Despite its trouble over the past few months, we actually thought Destiny 2 was pretty solid upon its PS4 and Xbox One debut last September.Â
