With the release of Curse of Osiris, each Faction has received 5 new weapons. These weapons become available over the course of the season, and cannot be earned through Faction Engrams immediately.
In the first Faction Rally of Season 2 (this week), there is a new Auto Rifle available as the Winner’s Offering. No new Faction Weapons are available through Faction Engrams.
In the second Faction Rally of the season, the Winner’s Offering is updated to a new weapon. Additionally, the previous Winner’s offering (Auto Rifles) and an additional weapon are added to Faction Engram rewards.
The final Faction Rally of the season will follow this functionality: The Winners Offering will be updated to a final weapon that has yet to be featured. The previous Winner’s Offering will be added to the Faction Engram rewards, alongside an additional weapon. This brings the total to four weapons within the Faction Engram, and a final Winner’s Offering for factions to compete for over the course of the event.
I'm through playing this for a while. This game has gone backwards from D1. From the stupid fraction rallies to not being able to pick what type crucible game I want to play. The new monarchy auto rifle sucks and wasn't even worth it. The 3 strikes in the game get old.. Or it seems there is only 3.. Then you add mercury and there is only one public event possible on it.. I feel like I got robbed. I'll check back after a few months..
