So for all people who never got one despite the fact that they have already 100+ hours under their belt, A well known theory about how to enhance your chance of getting one is
[b]1.cash multiple bounties at once (3+) in plus[/b]
(and imo the more important one)
[b]2.be versatile, meaning do both PvE and PvP[/b]
How comes that I think the Versatility is a factor?
I have one friend who has practically done no PvP and clocked around 150+ hours, he never saw a Exotic Bounty popping up
me, I´m doing around 80/20 PvE/PvP and I have already gotten 10+ of them.
Correct me if you are a pure PvP/PvP player and already saw a ton of Weapon Bounties.
With Thorn, Bad Juju and Super Good advice buffed and being now worthy Exotics its sure worth a try.
If you tested that theory and either can confirm or debunk it, report back to help others in need.
Thank you

I never do pve and I get these a lot. It's luck if the draw in my opinion. I do however turn in multiple bounties at a time usually 4 or more so not sure if that effects it in any way.
-
That's all just the rng, 2% every time you turn in a bounty. You got lucky. Balance has nothing to do with it. Neither does the number of bounties you turn in at once
-
Heard there is a 2% chance every time you cash in a bounty.
-
I've received well over 30 exotic bounties.
-
I received all 5 from purely doing vanguard bounties. So the versatile portion is myth, I can assure you that
-
I mainly just do PvE bounties and I've gotten all the bounties
-
I have 2 exotic bounties. Doing Toland's now. I never play pvp. Which is why I dread grinding out 10k points in Crucible!
-
Ive gotten and done all the bounties including 1 of em twice after tdb. Im sitting on 4 or 5 of them until HoW drops so maybe i can get upgraded versions. Got my first one from Eris a couple days ago!
-
It's so weird to me that people don't get them. I usually get around 3 a week. A lot of the time it seems to happen when I'm leveling a weapon and decide to do/turn in Eris bounties for the extra XP. I probably do about the same ratio of Vanguard to Crucible too, but they almost always seem to drop off Eris. Usually just do the SGA, Invective, and sometimes Bad Juju bounties for the shards. Mainly the SGA bounty because it's so easy.
-
Both exotic bounties I got (thorn and juju) I turned in 5+ vanguard bounties. No PvP bounties. I think it's just more of that good ole RNG we all love.
-
I've done this. And tried again. And a third time. A one more good measure. HELP!
-
Done this before, still no bounties. Destiny hates me
-
I have probably gotten around 20-25 exotic weapon bounties. I play like 60/40 pve/pvp I definitely believe in both of your points. Fyi my friends hate me when I say I got another one :) [spoiler]i just abandon them at this point [/spoiler]
-
I have gotten a lot of exotic bounties and I have only played crucible a little bit, mostly for the exotic bounties lol.
-
I have lost the count of how many bounties I had maybe over 10
-
I get exotic bounties when I bring in multiple it doesn't have to be a combo since I never do PvP bounties. Last bounty I got was for the machine gun and it came up after I handed in 2
-
Once I was made to play the iron banner the bounties did drop more but only after an absurd amount of play
-
That theory has been debunked. The only thing that seems certain, is once you have an exotic bounty, you seem to get more more often.
-
I'm actually a strict pve player and have gotten 5 exotic bounties so far. But the way I got my first was turning in 5 at once. My friend said he did it and got one so I tried it and it worked!
-
Debunked I play almost no pvp and have had 6 exotic bounties... Try again
-
Trying to do the pocket infinity bounty for a couple of weeks now. Since I got the bounty I have have 7/8 rare fusion rifles drop in 2 weeks across 2 characters absolute joke giving a bounty which you can do nothing about except wait for some rng bullshit to roll the right weapon
-
I don't do any PVP actives at all and I've gotten at least 4 exotic bounties. Granted, I've had to abandon them all ( because I don't do PVP and therefore I can't complete any of the ones I've gotten ) but at least I've gotten them.
-
I have gotten about 4 exotic bounties and it's usually when I hand in 5 to 10 bounties at once containing both pvp and pve.
-
Also I am not 100% on this but I think I read somewhere that there is only a 2% chance on exotic bounties to come up.
-
All those times played, I have handed in maybe 10 or so pvp bounties and I got 7 or 8 exotic bounties still have 2 in progress for exotic guns I already have. Keep doing bounties, for my experience, that doesn't mean you gotta do pvp
-
I got my most recent one from turning in a single bounty :/
