It is in essence one of the dumbest steps in a bounty I have ever seen.
It is a sign of Bungie's extreme laziness with the Elder Cipher and PoE in general.
Not that anybody cares, but this is how I would have done the ciphers -
Take it to Variks and pick the weapon you are going for - this will result in you getting one of 3 ciphers to do, depending on the weapon.
Each one would have multiple steps.
Dregs Promise - kill 100 fallen with Vestian Dynasty
Lord of Wolves - Kill 100 Fallen with a Pulse Rifle
Queenbreakers Bow - Kill 100 Fallen with a Sniper Rifle
Return to Variks - He wants you to get the Queen Cipher from the Queens Chest in PoE
Return to Variks - Now you must do the following
Dregs Promise - kill 500 Dregs with a Pulse Rifle
Lord of Wolves - Kill 150 Captains with a shotgun
Queen Breakers Bow - Kill 250 Vandals with a sniper rifle
Return to Variks -
Earn 1000 points killing bosses in PoE.
Something like this would have made the Ciphers alot more fun and meaningful, rather than the exact same thing for each weapon.

You are right. I meant "kill 250 Vandals with a Fusion Rifle". I saw my mistake. The main thing, something like this would have been alot more interesting than waiting for Variks to summon us.
