Packages & pricing
- GM Vanguard Alert (3 Runs) — from $20: Three Grandmaster Vanguard Alert completions, each finished at A grade. Bungie gates the featured Tier 5 weapon behind a B grade or better, so an A run banks the weapon plus the full material payout: Ascendant Shards, Enhancement Prisms, high-stat exotic armour chance and Conqueror progress. Contest Mode is active (–50 Power), loadouts lock at launch, and Extinguish sends the fireteam to orbit on a wipe — which is exactly why there is no matchmaking for this tier. Includes: 3x GM Vanguard Alert.
- GM Weapon Farm (5x Runs) — from $30: Five Grandmaster completions aimed at the weapon rather than the checkbox. Because the featured Alert weapon rotates at weekly reset, five runs either stack five copies of one weapon to roll-hunt a single perk column, or spread across resets to pick up different weapons — your call, and it costs the same. Every run is finished at A grade, so every run banks its Tier 5 drop plus the Shard and Prism payout. Includes: 5x GM Completions.
- Conqueror Title (Full Season) — from $45: The Conqueror seal, taken end to end. Portal Conquest wants completions across three difficulty tiers — Expert, Master and Grandmaster Vanguard Alerts — and the Grandmaster leg is the part that makes people give up: no matchmaking, Contest Mode, and a wipe puts the fireteam in orbit. Gilding resets every season, so the gold version of the title is a statement about the season you are in, not one you played two years ago. Includes: Full Conqueror Seal.
- Ultimate GM Bundle — from $89: Ten Grandmaster Alerts and the Conqueror seal in one order. The ten runs are where the weapons and the Shards come from; the seal is what you keep once the season turns over. Because both halves want the same Grandmaster completions, buying them together means the Alert runs count twice — toward your weapon farm and toward the seal — which is the whole reason the bundle is cheaper than the two products side by side. Includes: 10x Alerts + Conqueror.
FAQ
What is a Grandmaster Vanguard Alert?
The successor to the Grandmaster Nightfall, launched 9 December 2025 with Renegades. Three-player fireteam, all three Champion types, stacked modifiers, endgame rewards. Contest Mode caps you at –50 Power, loadouts lock at launch, Extinguish sends the fireteam to orbit on a wipe, revives limited. Found in the Portal; most still say GM Nightfall.
Is it Platinum or a letter grade now?
A letter grade. Vanguard Alerts score A through F rather than Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum, and Bungie gates the featured Tier 5 weapon and its extra origin trait at B or higher. Wording across the market is still mid-migration between the two systems, so you will see both. We clear at A on every run, a grade above the gate.
What does one Alert actually pay out?
At A grade: the week’s featured Tier 5 weapon, Masterworked, carrying the Alert-exclusive Accelerated Assault origin trait; Ascendant Shards and Enhancement Prisms; a shot at high-stat exotic armour; and Conqueror seal progress. The Tier 5 system replaced Adept weapons — there is no separate Adept drop to chase any more.
What happened to Adept weapons?
Retired with The Edge of Fate in July 2025 and folded into the tier system. Existing Adepts were converted; new endgame drops arrive as Tier 5 Masterworked weapons instead. Players still say “Adept” out of habit, so a listing that offers a “GM Adept” means the same Tier 5 drop.
Does the weapon change every week?
Yes. The featured Alert and its Tier 5 weapon rotate at the Tuesday reset. This matters for multiple runs: five runs in one week stack five copies of one weapon, which is how you chase a perk combination; five across five resets give five different weapons. Same price either way — tell us which you want in the order chat.
Why is there no matchmaking?
Expert, Master and Grandmaster all require a pre-made fireteam; only Standard and Hero matchmake. That is the whole reason this page exists. A Grandmaster with random players who cannot handle Contest Mode is not a hard activity, it is an unfinishable one, because Extinguish means a single wipe ends the run.
What is the Conqueror title?
The seal for clearing Portal Conquest activities across all three difficulty tiers — Expert, Master and Grandmaster. Gilding resets each season, so the gold Gilded Conqueror says you did it this season rather than two years ago. It is a multi-week job by construction, because the Alert rotation only offers so much per reset.
How is Master different from Grandmaster?
Master keeps the locked loadouts, Champions and Match Game but drops Contest Mode and Extinguish. That removes the two things that make Grandmaster punishing, which is why Master runs about a third cheaper per clear. The trade is rewards: Ascendant Shards are a chance not a guarantee, armour stats roll lower, and there is no Tier 5 featured weapon.
Is my account safe with Piloted mode?
Piloted sessions run through a VPN matched to your region, with offline status on every platform and no friend-list or message activity on your account. Self-Play (Sherpa) is the alternative if you would rather not hand over the account at all — you play, our team carries the encounter.
What are Ascendant Shards used for?
Masterworking armour (three per piece), exotic armour upgrades, and buying exotics from the kiosk. You can hold 10 plus 10 in the Postmaster, which is the practical ceiling on a single Shard-farm order — past that the run has to pause while you spend them, and that is why the Shard Priority option costs a little more.
