For anyone like myself wondering about Exotic Bounties and how you get them I've found a helpful Destinypedia page (link above|) that details all 6 of them and what you have to do in order to achieve them. This article at Ten Ton Hammer is pretty much the same info just more orderly: http://www.tentonhammer.com/guides/destiny/destiny-exotic-weapon-bounty-guide Hope this helps my fellow Guardians out there. [u]EDIT: [/u]For ease of use I have copied in the Ten Ton Hammer article below complete with [u]underlined[/u] additions by the bungie.net community: [i]"Each time you complete a bounty for Xander 99-40, there is a small chance that you will be given an Exotic Weapon Bounty. The chances to get an Exotic Weapon Bounty are extremely small, so expect it to take a while to eventually get one. There are six different exotic weapon bounties that you can get. However when you are offered an exotic weapon bounty you will be provided with three (randomly selected) and you will have to choose 1 of them. Be careful though, as the bounties do not let you know what kind of weapon you will get once you complete them and they all have slightly different, but equally long and difficult steps to complete before you get the weapon. We are here to help though, with a guide to the steps required to complete each of the six different exotic weapon bounties and what weapon they will grant you upon completion. Note: To keep the list of steps brief and to the point, several steps are not listed, they are however all simply running around to different NPC's around the Tower.
