Destiny Exotic Weapon Bounty Complete Guide

In Destiny, when completing Vanguard and Crucible bounties at Level 20 for Xander 99-40 in the Tower, Guardians will sometimes be offered rare Exotic Bounties. These bounties, which are extremely hard-to-come-by, demand players complete a series challenging tasks in reward for a guaranteed Exotic weapon. Unlike most other things in Destiny, completing these Exotic Bounties guarantee you an Exotic Weapon, so there's no fear of wasting your time.

I picked up Bad Juju the other day, I was a little disappointed, but read Bungie are tweaking its fire power a bit more. It would be such a shame since the name is so freaking epic. LOL.

ginalee5544251d ago

Nothing beats Invective, its one shot-gun that pack one hell of a punch to the face.

BOOM! Goodnight.

Conzul4251d ago

Meh, I dismantled my Invective for parts.

Not that it sucked, mind you, but because Fusion Rifles pretty much antiquate shottys in Destiny. Much prefer my Bad Juju. That gun is like a mini game itself - how many kills can you get before forcing a reload? Heh. Much fun. But Vex harpies don't count toward your killchain, which is weird.

Just got the Exotic Scout Rifle though. Sheesh, now I gotta level THAT up.

nX4251d ago

I'm currently working on Invective, got Pocket Infinity, Bad Juju and Super Good Advice from exotic bounties already. Still I use Suros Regime the most :S

GameSpawn4251d ago

I got Super Good Advice the other night myself. Leveling these suckers up takes some time though and a bit of Ascendant Energy farming.

I chose the machine-gun over the Fusion Rifle and one other because it was the fastest Exotic Bounty for me to complete, I didn't have to do ANY PVP (Crucible), and it was for a weapon I would actually use quite often.

If I had a chance for an Exotic Hand Cannon I would have been all over it like a fly on $&*#. When I started Destiny I used Scout and Pulse Rifles a lot for the amount of bullets you can put into enemies, but mid to late game I switched to Hand Cannons and holy crap are they over powered.

I currently have a rare (blue) Hand Cannon and a single head shot to ANY enemy up to level 16-17 insta-kills, and it has an 11 round clip as a bonus (most normal Hand Cannons are 4-6 rounds). I've nick named it the head popper and it is my go to gun for the head shot bounties.

Mega244251d ago

Bad Juju is great, once you achieve the upgrade of instant reload.

BattleTorn4251d ago

I chose Bad Juju as my first exotic bounty, LAST NIGHT!

ITPython4251d ago

I made a huge mistake when I took my first, and so far only, exotic bounty... I didn't research before choosing. I had assumed that I would just be given a random exotic no matter what bounty I chose, so I chose the bounty that seemed the easiest for me to accomplish. After I chose I decided to look it up... and sadly I ended up choosing the ONLY exotic weapon I would never use, the machine gun. Every other exotic bounty would have given me a weapon I would have loved and used, but go figure I would choose the worst one for me. That seems to be Destiny is a nutshell for me, especially when it comes to that troll they call a cryptarch.

I ended up abandoning the bounty, as it just wasn't worth the effort or time. I will choose better the next time an exotic bounty comes up (if it ever does again).

Unspoken4250d ago (Edited 4250d ago )

@ITPython

Curious... Why would you not use one of the best machine guns in the game, especially when you can take shields down faster can do extra damage during certain nightfalls?

Rocket launcher is great and all but there are many scenarios where a machine gun will excel.

ITPython4250d ago

@Unspoken - I primarily use an auto rifle, and the MG just feels redundant in my arsenal. Plus once I got another exotic, like an AR, I would never equip the machine gun since only one exotic can be used at a time.

I made the decision to not bother with wasting a bunch of my time trying to get a gun I would likely never use, plus to upgrade it I would be wasting precious materials that take a LOT of time to build up (like ascendant materials, or motes of light etc). I would rather put the time and materials to better use, and thus the exotic MG just made absolutely no sense for me to get.

Christopher4251d ago

There's an exotic assault rifle I see tons of people running around with now solely because the stability is maxed out. PvP is quickly becoming less fun than it was, and it wasn't that fun to begin with.

off topic, but why is it that the site is giving me a blank page telling me to visit burstmedia? I can only access the pending section of n4g

Frankskint4251d ago

Final Boss is the best exotic hands down. If you've got it and used it you will know what I mean.

henrythomas2844251d ago

Imagine being the guy in charge of naming these guns.

I know lets call this Gun Balls of Steel.

Conzul4251d ago

I wonder what such a gun would shoot? ... XD

Gh05t4251d ago

Balls of Steel (Shotgun - Secondary)
"Nut up or shut up"

KwietStorm_BLM4251d ago

I have a legendary sniper rifle called Final Boss. Are you sure you got the right name?

Revengeance4251d ago

Final Boss is a legendary sniper. But yeah I've used and it's definitely a "boss".

Cryptcuzz4251d ago

Are you talking about a different weapon, because I have a legendary sniper rifle with the same name and it's legendary (not exotic?)

I've done 3 weapon bounties so far. Bad juju, machine gun, fusion rifle, doing the shotgun one at the moment.

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

625d ago
anast625d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

InUrFoxHole625d ago

@anast
Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_625d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981625d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140625d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85625d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj625d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman625d ago (Edited 625d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake625d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn625d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg625d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07625d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom625d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac625d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake625d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark625d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde625d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125625d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
