Vanguard Bounties

Bounties are the game's side quests which can be taken by players once they reach LV4. Completing these will award you Vanguard Reputation and Experience Points. Players can accept up to five bounties, that's counting both Vanguard, Crucible, and event Bounties. (e.g. Queen's Wrath, Iron Banner). Bounties are reset every 24 hours. The game will display a counter on how long the next bounty reset will be.



There are Vanguard bounties that have coinciding tasks, which allows you to have progress on each of them at the same time. For example, Relic Harvest missions requires you to collect 200 items dropped by enemies (depending on the location). Since you have to kill enemies to get these items, you can accept other bounties like It's All in the Head (Kill 100 enemies with precision damage), Predator and Prey (Kill 20 enemies without taking damage from them), and Body Dropper (Kill 100 enemies without dying). Since taking out enemies using precision hits (critical hits to the target's weak point) usually kills them instantly, you'll be able to meet the requirements of these bounties all at the same time. Four birds with one stone! (Provided that you're able to accept all of them and they're available at the same time.)



Tip: Before turning in your bounties, equip any weapon and gear that can be leveled up - even if you're planning to scrap them later on. Swap them to your maxed main weapons and gear, turn over the bounties to unlock their perks, activate those perks using glimmer, then scrap them. You'll get more materials doing this way than dismantling them outright.
