GM this week
Defiant Battleground: EDZ is the Grandmaster Vanguard Alert for October 27 to November 3, 2026, and its featured weapon is Salvager's Salvo, a grenade launcher. The Alert leaves at Tuesday reset, 17:00 UTC, on November 3.
The Director shows the strike. The node still expects a full fireteam from orbit.
What the clear pays
Every Alert features a named weapon for its week. Enhancement materials still come with a Grandmaster clear, along with Fireteam Ops rewards scaled to your grade.
The weekly clear is the run that pays the featured weapon. Clearing the Alert on more than 1 character multiplies the material payout before November 3.

How to launch it
The weekly featured run is the Grandmaster Vanguard Alert inside Fireteam Ops. Matchmaking is off on that node. Join-in-progress is off, so the fireteam has to launch together. Open the activity preview and read the power delta before you spend a wipe.
Anti-champion stuns sit on weapon frames and on subclass verbs. Check the preview for the champion set on this Alert, then lock the loadout.
Skip the grind
This week's Alert stays up through the November 3 reset. A premade fireteam is required because matchmaking is off on the Alert node. A PRO team can clear it on your account and leave the drop in your vault.
Book a GM Nightfall completion for this week's Alert.
