Advice for Exotic Bounties

So, as much as I hate the Crucible; I finally completed the Bad Juju Exotic Bounty last night. I know people write about how they keep abandoning the bounties due to the Crucible requirement, and I can't say that I blame them. I've done it several times myself. The Crucible (for people who are PvE centered) is horrible and unwanted. But I crushed out the entire 10,000 points worth of Crucible kills in just four hours last night. I found an easy way to do it, at least as far as the Bad Juju bounty is concerned. 1) Get your weapon of choice. I prefer an Auto Rifle or Scout Rifle for the Crucible, and 'Atheon's Epilogue' came in very handy (with the Void damage, AE is also a great choice [if available] for the Thorn bounty). 2) The Control game type I found is the way to go. The nature of the gameplay (having to capture territories) forces your enemies into confined locations. Using a grenade and/or Super that has a wide, sustained area of damage will generally knock out several enemies at once, making the crunch for points-from-kills go quite a bit faster. 3) While in Control, help your team keep at least a two-territory advantage. Winning the match and the points for territory captures are not important to the bounties in any way. However; having your team control two points (at a minimum) forces the other team to come to one of two areas and gather close together. This leads back to the second point I made in that all you have to do is sit and wait, and your enemies come right to you. Set up an ambush. While I know that this is focused more towards Bad Juju, but also can be adapted easiest to the Thorn bounty, I feel that with a bit of advice we can help the rest of the community get through the Exotic bounties in a manner that won't be too soul-crushing or depression inducing. So that's my little nugget of advice. If anyone has a better way to do this, feel free to add it in the comments. If anyone has tips and advice like this for the other Exotic Bounties, please feel free to offer that advice here. Discuss.
