As many of you know Xur is going to offer upgraded versions of the current exotics. Whether you think this is a good idea or not (having to start all over with the tier 2 exotic), you should be prepared for the inevitable.
The second CPG saw the patch notes our first question was “Are they going to reset the current bounties on our guardians?” Meaning every guardian should have at least 10 completed bounties ready to start the upgrading process.
This idea is straight forward, but this is what I feel is an effective way to go about it. Here are some ideas and what I will be doing in the coming week.
1. Continue leveling all exotics needed for new raid. Even if you have to reset the exotic you will still need it for those first few raids of the new content.
2. Get ready for Xur to sell the upgrades. Make sure you have as many Exotic Shards as you need to get the upgrades you want for raid. IE: I want to upgrade gjallhorn ASAP! So I am reserving 2 shards for it from the start. Mythocast is also a priority so I am saving 2 for it. So on and so forth.
3. Save 10 completed bounties per char for upgrades. This (in my opinion) is the most important part of the process. I have 3 chars that all have 10 slots for bounties available ( I made sure to complete all exotic bounties this week). That is a possible 30 completed bounties ready for the first & second exotic upgrades. You grab the upgraded versions, turn in all bounties, move them over to other chars and rinse/repeat. THIS WILL NOT MAX THEM OUT. Just want to make sure anyone who reads this understands, this is not the instant max out strat… This is the get 2-3 bubbles on your upgraded exotic the first night you get it strat.
Side note: People screaming at their comps “HEARTLESS YOU MORON I CAN’T SACRIFICE A WEEK OF BOUNTIES TO GET 10 RDY!!!” First off, calm down, caps doesn’t solve anything. Secondly, think about it, 5 pve/pvp bounties per day. That means on Wednesday you can grab up 5 pve bounties and on Thursday grab another 5… Boom 5 + 5 = 10. Or go for broke and on Thursday grab all 10 on all of your chars and do some pve/pvp. Either way 10 is the goal no matter how many days it takes to get there.
