How to get Combat Telemetry in Destiny 2’s Arms Week
Destiny 2 's Arms Week is back with new weapons to chase. Combat Telemetry, the event's usual resource, made another appearance—this time, as both the most common and rarest item in the game due to a technical issue.
This Arms Week focuses on bows—namely the Arc-aligned King Orfeo —though players can also grab Th e Heron, a Void glaive. These items were meant to be available in Ada-1's event vendor menu in the Firing Range, but the event ran into some issues. This includes problems with gear acquisition and, particularly, how to obtain Combat Telemetry in Destiny 2 . Here's what you need to know.

You gain Combat Telemetry by completing Portal activities during the event . We were getting 25 Combat Telemetry every Portal completion, both in selected Ultimate activities and in the Quickplay Solo Ops playlist. The latter is usually easier if the modifiers align.
If you're just looking to grab as much Combat Telemetry as you can, shorter activities like Solo Ops or faster Fireteam Ops with well-equipped squadmates are the way to go. The currency drops at the end of the activity, and it appears both in your loot feed and your inventory.
Combat Telemetry from the beginning of the event has a different property: namely, it's the wrong one. Your leftover stock from the early days of Arms Week can't be used to buy anything, so you have to pay Ada-1 a visit to rectify that.
Why do I have zero Combat Telemetry in Destiny 2?

Don't be confused if Ada's inventory in the Firing Range has Combat Telemetry for sale, especially not if you're using Combat Telemetry to buy it. The currency was bugged for the first couple of dozen hours in the event, so the vendor may show you have zero Combat Telemetry to spend.
One possible explanation for the days-long glitch is that Bungie might have been a victim of its own currency bloat. The API lists multiple versions of Combat Telemetry for different iterations of Arms Week. Players seem to be receiving an outdated version of this resource from before Renegades , as suspected by a Reddit user , and Bungie's solution surely leans that way.
In that case, if you already own Combat Telemetry, all you have to do is convert your currency with Ada, swapping out the wrong version for the right one. This should let you get the King Orfeo bow as a direct purchase for 65 Combat Telemetry or try your luck at The Heron through the event Engrams, which cost 40 each.
