There's these awful guns (and armour) that are yellow exotics and are considered the worst in the game. Don't be fooled by their attack/defence rating- the higher it gets the less damage you do and the more you take.
You want to be dismantling these straight away as they give you exotic shards which unlock extra planets. You need 5 for Jupiter, 5 for Mercury, and 10 for Saturn.
Most exotics give you 1 shard but there are certain exotics which are the worst of the worst and dismantling them gives you 5 exotic shards! These are:
-Gjallarhorn
-Icebreaker
-Helm of Saint 14
-Heart of the Praxic Fire
-Vex Mythoclast
-Radiant Dance Machines
Be sure to dismantle these straight away because they are useless and those planets are waiting to be unlocked! To unlock, you must:
1. Gain enough shards to unlock the planet.
2. Complete the story mode without firing a single gunshot.
3. Solo the Vault of Glass at level 23.
4. Get a 15 kill streak in the crucible using 'No Land Beyond'.
5. Assassinate Master Rahool in the hidden mission 'Revenge on RNGesus'.
6. Shoot the desired planet you would like to unlock whilst patrolling- this can take between 2-30 minutes.
Then you are ready to go!
EDIT: Thorn also gives you 5 shards for dismantling it.

Don't shoot the enemies in the head - it is a waste of time - shoot rocks so they ricochet back at him. Don't take any bounties. They don't reward you with much of anything worth doing them. Always ignore Public Events since they will take you off of your patrol missions and waste your time further. Never hand in any Engrams to the Cryptarch. He will give you next to nothing in return. Stay away from all caves - they have nothing to see but more darkness and rocks. Don't EVER open a chest as it could explode in your face and wipe you out.

Great advice!
