Hello, Guardians. Recently, you must’ve been lucky enough to receive what’s known as an “Exotic Bounty.” And you’re probably wondering “What’s this for? How do I complete it? How do I get one?” Well, ask no more. This guide will answer and explain all of those questions.
Exotic bounties are special, rare and unique bounties you can obtain in Destiny. Each one has their own unique and difficult challenges, but are guaranteed to net you an Exotic weapon. Each time you turn in a bounty (any Bounty, such as Vanguard, Crucible, etc) you will have a small chance to receive a Vanguard Mentor Missive. This will permit you to choose between 3 randomly selected Exotic bounties. Below are the known available Exotic bounties, and how to complete them.
