Vex Mythoclast Iron Banner Bounty Glitch

I'd like to report a strange problem I have been experiencing. In the Iron Banner there is a bounty call "Focused Aggression": (Deafeat 20 Guardians with Primary Weapon headshots while competing in the Iron Banner.) For some reason this bounty is not acknowledging ANY headshot kills with the Vex Mythoclast, I suspect this is because it is labeled as a Fusion Rifle and the system thinks the headshots are from a special weapon instead. Just so it's clear the system registers the kills are headshots but doesn't count them toward completing the bounty. All other Primary weapons don't have this problem: Hand Cannons, Assault Rifles, and Scout Rifles are all working fine. I'd like to know if anyone has had this same problem with the No Land Beyond primary sniper rifle because if so this is a very annoying glitch to deal with since it takes alot of skill to get headshot kills with either of these weapons. It's sad to think those skills aren't going to be rewarded because there's some small category requirement in the coding of one bounty that's causing an annoyance for players that have worked hard to get these weapons and worked harder to master them. This is a VERY SIMPLE FIX Bungie so please spend the small amount of time, which you will probably be able to finish before your first coffee break in the morning, to investigate, address, and fix this issue Please. Sincerely, Z

  • It's not a glitch... The wording on the bounty [i]may[/i] be misleading; however, the wording for the Focused Aggression Bounty in the (old) patch notes/weekly update clearly stated that Scout Rifles, Hand Cannons, Pulse Rifles, and ARs would count toward the bounty. Vex is a Special in a Primary Slot... but either way, it's a Fusion Rifle... not an AR, Scout Rifle, Hand Cannon, or Pulse Rifle. Universal Remote and No Land Beyond (and yes... people even use that in Iron Banner) don't count either.

  • Personally, you may want to use scout rifles, pulse rifles, auto rifles & hand cannons, 'focused aggression' is better off completed with something like the MIDA Multi-Tool.

  • Deserves to be fixed for them all, it's an unsightly blemish on their developing skills. They should have a way to work around this. But obviously they won't because apparently it's not cost effective to devote time to generating a fix. Sad but true.

  • Not gonna happen, they have already stated that Universal Remote, NLB and Vex do not count for that particular bounty.

    • The Vex Mythoclast is recognized as a Special Weapon. Along with NLB and Universal Remote. Just use a HC, SR, AR, or PR.
