Bounty

Bounties are side missions offered to Guardians by certain vendors in the Tower and Vestian Outpost. The only requirement is that the Guardian must be at least level 4. Bounties require completing particular tasks, such as defeating a certain number of enemies of a certain species or class or killing a certain number of enemies without taking any damage. Available bounties are refreshed every 24 hours, except for Wanted bounties, which refresh at the Weekly Reset.

Types of Bounties
Vanguard bounties offer Vanguard reputation and experience for tasks accomplished in Patrols, Story Missions, Strikes, and some parts of Raids. They can also award Dead Orbit, Future War Cult, or New Monarchy reputation if their respective class items are equipped while turning them in. They are issued by Xander 99-40 in the Tower and Berg 99-40 in the Vestian Outpost.

Crucible bounties offer Crucible reputation and experience for tasks accomplished in any Crucible mode. They can also award Dead Orbit, Future War Cult, or New Monarchy reputation if their respective class items are equipped while turning them in. They are issued by Xander 99-40 in the Tower and Berg 99-40 in the Vestian Outpost.

Lord Shaxx offers his own set of Crucible bounties as well, including one weekly bounty whose objective is to complete all of Shaxx's other bounties. Completing this bounty will award a high-level item, comparable to the reward of a Weekly Nightfall Strike. Arcite 99-40 also has a set of bounties.

Iron Banner bounties offer Iron Banner reputation and experience for tasks accomplished in the Iron Banner playlist. They are issued by Lord Saladin in the Tower.

Reef bounties offered Queen's Emissary reputation and experience for tasks accomplished in Patrols, Story Missions, and Strikes.
