-- Steve's wondering if this is what Bungie was talking about when they said we'd tell tales of how we got something nifty.

Methinks Steve might be right.

How did the exotic bounty arrive? Was it through the Postmaster, or was it just available when you checked for Bounties?

You get it when you turn in bounties. I'm not sure if it's for turning in a certain number of bounties over time, or if it's just random.

After cashing in some bounties I got a postmaster notice to take to the bounty guy; it rezzed out into three candidate quests, and I picked this one over the alternatives. (One was Crucible related, IIRC, the other sounded dull.)

-- Steve'll see more of what it's all about this weekend.

Ha, awkward. Something ate the line breaks!

Poor gun :(

So apparently I've found a depressed, talking machinegun. I foresee no possible way this could go horribly wrong...

-- Steve must now await Xur's return, and hope he has enough of value to swap when he gets back.

I have the same one, just gotta wait for Xur...

-- Steve was using a rocket launcher until now, but thinks this may just make him switch.
