How to farm Combat Telemetry in Destiny 2

The Edge of Fate expansion brought back an updated version of an old event to Destiny 2 in the form of Arms Week. Each Arms Week focuses on one weapon archetype, offering quests, challenges, and rewards related to the featured archetype.

During the Arms Week, you can farm Combat Telemetry to exchange it for loot at Ada-1 in the Shooting Range. This includes new weapons featured that week and a range of returning weapons that, while not part of the new tier system, are still potent with the right roll.

Here’s how to farm Combat Telemetry during the Arms Week event in Destiny 2.

Combat Telemetry is the main currency for the Arms Week event, and you can get it by completing activities in the Portal using the relevant weapon archetypes. This means you can mix Power leveling and event progression in the same runs.

After testing, it seems you can run any loadout with any weapon and get the same amount of Combat Telemetry. During the hand cannon Arms Week, Solo Ops with the new hand cannon (Phoneutria Fera), Exalted Truth, and no hand cannon at all, all awarded 25 Combat Telemetry. It’s unclear whether this is a bug, but take advantage of it while you can.

You might still want to use the featured weapon archetype to take advantage of powerful time-limited weapon mods, like Fragmentation Rounds for hand cannons.

To use Combat Telemetry, head to Ada-1 at her new station in the Shooting Range. For 25 Combat Telemetry, you can get one Arms Week engram that you can open at Rahool in the Tower (no, you can’t open them at Ada). Alternatively, you can focus the Arms Week engrams at Ada-1 with additional Combat Telemetry.

Here’s everything available at Ada-1 for focusing and focusing prices:

• Higher-tier Arms Week engram: One Arms Week engram and 25 Combat Telemetry.
• New event weapon: One Arms Week engram and 35 Combat Telemetry.
• Old weapon: One Arms Week engram and 25 Combat Telemetry.

This rounds up to around 50-60 Combat Telemetry, depending on what you want, or around two and a half Caldera Solo Ops runs, per weapon roll.
