Hey, Daily Quest readers.
GUARDIANS, GEAR UP! Update 9.5.5 officially went live on January 28, 2026, bringing a massive wave of stability to the Renegades campaign and a significant power shift to the seasonal meta. Whether you’re hunting in the Lawless Frontier or pushing through the Portal, your toolkit just got a major tune-up.
The All-Star Glow-Up
The All-Star perk has been the subject of debate since the Heresy launch, but the bug suppressing its potential has finally been squashed.
The Fix: Previously, the PvE damage multiplier was being overwritten by the lower PvP values.
The New Stats: All-Star now provides a massive 35% multiplicative damage bonus in PvE and a respectable 15% in PvP.
Uptime: Picking up a Special ammo brick now grants exactly 7 seconds of this enhanced state. This makes Rocket-Assisted Sidearms and Fusions absolutely lethal in mid-tier content.
Arms Week III: Combat Bow Focus (Jan 27 – Feb 3)
Arms Week has returned, and this time, we’re going medieval. Ada-1 is back at the Shooting Range with a heavy focus on Combat Bows.
New Weapons: Look out for King Orfeo (Precision Frame Arc Bow) and The Heron (Aggressive Frame Void Glaive).
Volatile Mods: You can pick up limited-time mods like Tungsten Bowstring (Massive damage/Elemental explosions) and Jumpshot (Mid-air accuracy/Speed) to turn your bow into a railgun for the week.
Ada-1 Alert: There is a known bug where Ada-1 may reject Combat Telemetry or display old event currencies. Bungie is investigating, but for now, prioritize the Daily Challenges for your engram progress!
The Dark Age Hunt: Community Challenge
Ready to prove your mastery? The Dark Age Hunt is live until February 3.
The Goal: Complete the Warlord’s Ruin dungeon Solo using only Bows, Glaives, and Swords.
The Reward: Clearing this brutal challenge earns you the exclusive "Fallen Torches" emblem and the "Cut with Dark Age Steel, O Vengeance Mine" Triumph.
Pro Tip: Warlocks running Prismatic with Getaway Artist and Leviathan’s Breath are currently leading the clear times!
Patch 9.5.5 Performance Report
| Feature | Change / Fix | Vibe Check |
| Edge of Fate | Drops now scale above 300 Power. | Essential for Raid catch-up! |
| Bane Drones | Reworked; now grants DR instead of total immunity. | GM Portal runs just got less "cheesy." |
| Lightning Surge | Fixed issues with Bolt Charge and Amplified state. | Warlock melee builds are back on the menu. |
| Renegades UI | Death screen now correctly attributes Renegade Ability kills. | Finally know what actually hit you! |
My Hot Take: The All-Star Meta is Here
With a 35% multiplicative buff, All-Star is no longer a "nice-to-have"—it's a "must-slot" for boss DPS phases in the Desert Perpetual raid. If you haven't farmed a god-roll Praxic Blade or a high-impact Fusion with this perk, this is the week to do it.
Are you brave enough to take on the solo Warlord’s Ruin bow challenge? Or are you camping the Portal for that King Orfeo god-roll? Drop your loadouts in the comments—let’s see who’s rocking the best medieval hardware!
Share this with your Fireteam, and stay locked for the Heresy Act 2 teaser coming next month.
Stay questing! @TheDailyQuest0
