In Destiny, Guardians have the option to align themselves with one of three primary factions: Dead Orbit, Future War Cult (FWC), and New Monarchy. Each of these factions plays a vital role in the City’s governance, collectively known as the Consensus. By pledging allegiance to a faction, players can earn unique rewards and represent the philosophies and goals of their chosen faction through gameplay.

How to Pledge Allegiance

Steps to Earn Faction Rewards:

1. Visit the Tower: Travel to the Tower and locate the leader of your chosen faction—either Dead Orbit, Future War Cult, or New Monarchy.

2. Pay a Fee: To officially pledge allegiance, you must pay a fee of 2,500 Glimmer.

3. Choose Your Faction: Select which faction you wish to represent. It’s important to note that you can only support one faction at a time.

4. Weekly Switch: If you decide to change factions, you may do so once every week by paying the Glimmer fee again.

5. Earn Reputation: After pledging, you can earn faction Reputation by engaging in various activities such as:
– Crucible matches
– Strikes
– Lost Sectors
– Raids

6. Unlock Rewards: By accumulating enough Reputation (reaching level 25), you will unlock an Exotic class item that enhances your ability to gain further Reputation from that faction.

Summary of Faction Details

Here’s a quick overview of the factions, how to pledge, and the rewards available:

| Faction | How to Pledge | Rewards |
|——————|———————————————–|——————————–|
| Dead Orbit | Speak to the leader at the Tower, pay 2,500 Glimmer | Unique weapons, armor, emblems |
| Future War Cult | Speak to the leader at the Tower, pay 2,500 Glimmer | Unique faction gear |
| New Monarchy | Speak to the leader at the Tower, pay 2,500 Glimmer | Exclusive faction rewards |

Additional Information

While the active factions provide opportunities for unique gear and gameplay experiences, there are other factions within the Destiny lore—such as the Cult of Osiris, Symmetry, Concordat, and Echelon South—that players cannot currently join.

In addition, there are also fundamental factions like the Vanguard and Crucible, which are integral to PvE and PvP activities but operate separately from the three factions mentioned above. This structure allows players to engage in Destiny’s diverse gameplay while continuing to build reputation with both their chosen faction and the default factions.

By supporting a faction, Guardians can tailor their gameplay experience according to the ideology and interests of that group, making allegiance a significant aspect of the game’s community and progression system.
