This write-up takes a look at the bounties being offered by vendors today and offers some tips on how to get through them. Don’t forget you can purchase the bounties you need through the D2 Companion App now, which should save you a bit of time. Let’s get to it: [b][u]Anywhere Bounties[/u] [/b] Go Sidearm, Auto Rifle, and Sniper Rifle for your Kinetic and Energy slots. Grab a Grenade Launcher for your Power weapon. Make your weapons Void. Get those grenade and Super kills. Defeat Vex, get Finisher kills, and gather orbs of light. This covers Banshee’s Calibrations for today, all four of Crow’s dailies, Zavala’s From Downtown and Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, and all four of Eva Levante’s Dawning dailies.

(12,000 XP // 1 Upgrade Module // Bright Dust // 1/8 Progress on Banshee’s Weekly Bounty Challenge) Using your Stasis subclass to get Stasis kills while not on Europa will progress the Exo Stanger’s weekly challenge. Crow's bounties that deal with weapon/ability/elemental kills can be completed in the Crucible. [b][u]Crucible[/u] [/b] Hop into Control and capture zones. Collect or recover power ammo, cast your super, and get ability kills. [b]Rewards [/b] 24,000 XP 20 Crucible Tokens 4/8 Progress on Shaxx’s Weekly Bounty Challenge Any Crucible matches you complete will progress both of Shaxx’s weeklies.

Cast and defeat enemies with your Super and generate Orbs of Light for his Might of the Traveler weekly (Masterworked weapons are helpful here). (12,000 XP // 100 Infamy // Bright Dust // 1/8 Progress on Drifter’s Weekly Bounty Challenge each) [b][u]Vanguard[/u][/b] Today’s playlist modifiers are Solar Singe, Grenadier, and Grounded. Defeat enemies with a Grenade Launcher and your Super. [b]Rewards[/b] 12,000 XP 10 Vanguard Tokens 2/8 Progress on Zavala’s Weekly Bounty Challenge Get Vex kills for Zavala’s Thin the Horde weekly. Defeat a Vex kills for his Wrench in the Works weekly. (12,000 XP // 15 Vanguard Tokens // Bright Dust // 1/8 Progress on Zavala’s Weekly Bounty Challenge each) [b]Suggested Strikes[/b] [b]Warden of Nothing (Tangled Shore)[/b] - Despite this strike being located on the Tangled Shore map, you can't actually complete Spider's bounties there. This strike is being suggested because it's great for Zavala's Wrench in the Works Weekly, since you have a guaranteed amount of Vex in there with each run. [b]Exodus Crash (Nessus)[/b] - I’m only suggesting this because Failsafe needs Fallen kills for her Friend or Foe daily. Otherwise get Power Weapon multikills and Solar Kills (18,000 XP // 30 Microphasic Datalattice) [b]Glassway (Europa)[/b] - Grab Variks’ Europan Gravity and Devoid of Vex. Get Fallen and Vex Void kills. These two bounties will progress Variks’ Europan Weekly Bounty Challenge. Each completion of the Nightfall progresses the weekly challenge. And the Vex defeated in the boss fight helps with Zavala’s Wrench in the Works weekly. (12,000 XP) [b]The Arms Dealer (The EDZ)[/b] - Grab all three of Devrim’s EDZ dailies today. Get Cabal, precision, and Arc kills. (18,000 XP // 30 Dusklight Shards) [b][u]Europa[/u][/b] Head to the Eventide Ruins and defeat combatants. Defeat Fallen and Vex with Void damage. Get Sniper Rifle Precision kills in a lost sector [b][u]Rewards[/u][/b] 24,000 XP 4/8 Progress on the Europa Bounty Weekly Challenge Any Lost Sectors, Patrols, or Public events you complete will progress Variks’ Courageous Expedition weekly bounty (12,000 XP) Earn points in the The Dark Priestess Empire Hunt to complete Variks’ Divine Intervention weekly (12,000 XP) [b][u]Sabrosen’s Side Hustles[/u] [/b] I’ve made a few changes to the website. The Side Hustle page now lists the bounties from the Lectern of Enchantment, Spider, Banshee, and the Planetary vendors that can all be done at once in Nightmare Lost Sectors. This week Banshee has his Lawless Calibration so head over to the Tangled Shore, hop into either of the Thieves’ landing Lost Sectors, and get those precision kills. As always, you can grab the repeatable bounties from the core activity vendors, Banshee, and Crow. Each repeatable will nab you 4,000 XP and will help progress the vendors’ Weekly Bounty Challenges. Banshee’s can be done anywhere and Crow’s will have you defeating specific Hive and Fallen enemies. Core activity repeatables can only be done in those activities. XP estimates are based on Season of Arrivals. If anyone knows the new numbers feel free to correct me.
