📝 Destiny 2 Arms Week: Overview & Strategy
Arms Week has returned for 2026, shifting the focus to a “Combat Bow” specialty. Unlike the legacy Arms Day from the original Destiny, this iteration is a high-intensity calibration event where Ada-1 tasks Guardians with testing prototype frames in the field. The “vibe” is clinical yet rewarding; you aren’t just farming loot—you’re participating in weapon R&D that grants access to temporary “Volatile Mods” which break the standard sandbox rules (like Shattershafts for splitting arrows).
HelixPedia Pro-Tip: The fastest way to farm Combat Telemetry is via Solo Ops. Specifically, running the Caldera operation can net you approximately 25 Telemetry every three minutes. Prioritize the “Initial Calibration” quest immediately to unlock weapon focusing at Ada’s workbench, allowing you to bypass the RNG of the general reward track.
🎁 Destiny 2 Loot List: How to Claim King Orfeo
| Reward Item | Rarity | Requirement |
| King Orfeo (Arc Bow) | Legendary | Arms Week Reward Track / Ada-1 Focusing |
| Gizmo Weft (Strand GL) | Legendary | Rare Event Drop / Dawning Carryover |
| The Heron (Void Glaive) | Legendary | Arms Week Event Engrams |
| Volatile Exotic Mods | Exotic | Complete “Prototype Tuning” Quests |
📊 HelixPedia Efficiency Rating
- Grind Factor: 2/5 (Fast Telemetry gains in Solo Ops)
- Grind Fun Meter: 4/5 (Volatile Mods make Bows feel like Exotics)
- FOMO Level: Rotating (Archetypes swap; specific weapons may vanish for months)
- HelixPedia VTT Ratio: God Tier (King Orfeo is a must-have for Arc 3.0 builds)
🚀 How to Participate
- Visit the Shooting Range: Launch the Shooting Range via the Tower Map and speak to Ada-1.
- Initial Calibration: Accept the “Initial Calibration” quest and equip a Combat Bow to gather Combat Telemetry.
- Equip Volatile Mods: Once unlocked, slot event-specific mods into your Bow to massively increase lethality.
- Focus Engrams: Use your gathered Telemetry at Ada-1 to focus the King Orfeo with the “Nail, Meet Hammer” origin trait.
- HelixPedia Pro-Tip: Don’t sleep on the Gizmo Weft just because it’s a carryover from The Dawning; it’s the first Strand Micro-Missile Frame in the game. If it drops with Envious Arsenal, keep it—it’s essentially a Strand version of The Mountaintop.
