A Rumor is a randomized event in XCOM 2.
A rumor appears after completing a mission (or scanning an existing rumor) and reveals a point of interest on the Geoscape that needs to be scanned by the Avenger in order to obtain the rumor's indicated rewards. Rumors usually last between 9 and 18 days, but one maybe removed early if a new rumor of the same reward type is discovered.
