Exotic Bounties (Destiny)

So someone on Bungie.org was speculating that you might get a choice of a certain three if it triggers when you turn in Vanguard bounties, or another three if you turn in Crucible ones?

So in 11 Headshots and 6 Grenade kills, I'm going to turn in 10 Crucible bounties at once, and hopefully I can get the assignment for Super Good Advice.

But does anyone know if that guy had the right of it? All I know is that each Missive I've gotten, I got for Vanguard bounties, and they've all been Thorn/Bad Juju/Invective each time.

Pretty sure it's random.

Probably. But this can't hurt.

If anyone has conclusive evidence that it is random, though, I'd appreciate it. Or, put another way: have you gotten a different three choices for turning in the same variety of bounty?

Yes. In fact, I have gotten both Super Good Advice and Pocket Infinity, and I don't do Crucible bounties at all. Ever.

Pretty sure it's random.

Same. I rarely do Crucible bounties and between all the missives I've gotten, I've had all the bounties show up for me.

False. I got the same Missive from turning in Crucible (and Iron Banner even) bounties as I did Vanguard. It's all random.

Thank you kindly.

But I might as well do this anyways.

I'm pretty sure the 3 missives you get are always random, BUT I've noticed I got them more often when I turned in a bunch (5+) at once. Good luck!

Well I mean... if turning in a bounty has a random chance to trigger an exotic bounty, then yeah, probability would dictate that turning in 5 at once is more likely to yield an exotic bounty than turning in 1.

I still have some headshots, yet, but I randomly got Dragon's Breath in a Rumble match.

It didn't work, but still. Dragon's Breath.

Also I'm finally level 30.

One Vanguard bounty later, and I have a missive with a Voice in the Wilderness as an option.

This has been: The RNG decided Raichu needed Solar heavies.

Still need to complete the last part of the bounty, the strike.

I can't ever find help for it..
Why does no one want me to have this gun ;_;

What console? You could probably find some people more than willing to assist, here.

I mean, I'd offer on 360; I don't have the bounty and I haven't ever done the special version of the Strike, but I'm level 30, so there's that.

Yeah, what console?

I'm on PS4. I've done I once for myself, once more to help someone else, and will soon need to do it two more times for myself as I have two separate characters with the bounty at the moment.

No. I've gotten every exotic from the bounties offered, and all were from Vanguard Bounties. It's random. I got Super Good Advice from turning in Vanquards.

Not that I resent it, (I'll gladly cop to someone else being wrong) but I may as well put up a big sign saying "Myth Busted" already.

Finally got new set of 3 with Eris

by DreadPirateWes, Monday, December 15, 2014, 14:55 (3430 days ago) @ RaichuKFM

After getting Invective, Thorn, Bad Juju trio of bounties 5-6 times from Vanguard bounties, I finally got a new set of 3 last night when turning in a Eris bounty: Super Good Advice, Juju, and Pocket Infinity. (I chose SGA)
