It increases all experience gained toward RL. Turning in mass bounties is the most efficient method.

Daily heroic does not give weapon XP.
Best way to use them is to fill up your bounty slots with completed bounties and then do your PE for the day. Then go back to the tower, pop the telemetry and turn in all your bounties + PE package. You can usually pick up a couple more bounties and turn them in before it runs out.

Looks like my core group of 4 (including myself) will be doing 3x hard Crota and Atheon tonight around 7 EST. If anyone is interested in one or both, I'd love to have a week where I don't have to look for two randoms.
1. Sparrows
2. Eyc
3. Mamoui

Finished my 28th NM Crota kill last night. Still no Black Hammer. I did get my 6th Song of Ir Yut though, right after my third Light of the Abyss. My entire regular group have had multiples for weeks. Black Hammer is my White Whale!
I think you might be confusing this with weekly strikes/strike playlists.

Nope
Try it out. Your weapons will not gain xp after completing the daily. You get regular xp for killing stuff but not as the mission reward. Whether it's intended or just a bug /shrug

Definitely going to test this out.
If that's indeed the case, then that almost certainly has to be a bug/design oversight--this doesn't happen with XP anywhere else in the game AFAIK.
Then again, there's the VoG glimmer farm which makes no sense at all either so...
I have Bloodborne in my life now. No one shoots me in the back of my head with rockets in Bloodborne.
Bloodborne schmudborne. We miss shooting you in the back of the head.
I actually posited that you sitting out this week was you being a momma bird and pushing your babies out of the nest. "You CAN fly (run abyss and the bridge without cheesing) yourself, baby birdies! Go! FLY!"

Yeah, I was surprised to hear about end-of-activity XP payouts not counting toward weapon progress, especially considering that XP earned from bounties and public event packages does. I tested it myself and can confirm this is the case. I believe it is intentionally designed that way because, during gameplay, you don't earn XP on a weapon unless it is specifically used to damage an enemy that is destroyed (within a certain window of time), whereas all armor earns XP regardless of how enemies are dispatched. If anything, the bounties and public event packages are the exception, not the rule.

He's correct. It's well-known to the regulars around here.
To add, the XP bonus is also not impacted by the Nightfall XP boost. I've confirmed that by (inadvertently) dying at the same moment as I kill the mission boss, then self-reviving via Radiance. The bounty for earning 9,000 XP gets filled by 7,500, regardless of whether the Nightfall bonus is on or not. I use the dailies mostly to work bounties, since the XP is worthless once you classes are ranked.

I probably have a similar amount of attempts and no Black Hammer. 1 Light and 1 hunger, 15+ Song of Ir Yut. Dat smarter loot tho.

LOL, like Exotic Weapons need to be made to take EVEN LONGER to upgrade... smh.
After a giant Vex and a giant Hive I think a giant Fallen enemy is a given. I'm guessing "Templar/DS" will be a super tank and main boss will be a super Captain.
Well this sure looks like a captain. I wonder, will the HoW raid boss be an enlarged captain? Maybe urk could comment on that.
I'd expect invisible vandal fuckery too. But then again CE didn't use vestiges so you never know what they'll use and what they won't.
Took me 47 Normal Crota kills to get BH yesterday. Stay strong.
Addressing the bolded: to be more charitable/fair than Bungie probably deserves, they DID clarify that the "smarter loot" just means it influences the rate to get *a* "fun drop" if you hadn't randomly gotten one in a "while" (unspecified duration).
They never suggested that the game is tracking whether or not you've gotten a specific drop and keeps weighting those drops you haven't gotten until you get them, or the inverse to make you stop getting ones you've gotten multiples of.
There's a lot to criticize them for, but let's not misrepresent the "smart loot" thing.
I think it's generally accepted that this is ACTUALLY working as intended; e.g. there's no "#forever31" meme and I don't know that I've ever heard of anyone running a full CE and only getting shards/energy.

But but it has a unique model! You don't understand how it works, we don't simply 'enlarge a model' our modellers work really hard into it and make a unique frame and everything~~</s>
I remember when they said that as an excuse for the enlarged bosses. Yeah, I expect a big Fallen Captain, probably the model from the Venus boss, with maybe 1 or 2 extra spikes.
Points if they give it an extra head.
Welcome to the club.

What finally got you it? Rare or Legendary Engram? I yearn for the day this happens to me. Congrats!

Man, I really have no right to complain about my bad luck. I started poorly getting 3 Songs out of 4 drops, but have gotten every weapon in about 25 combined normal/hard attempts.
Yay! its truly an original boss! Now where did I put my chalice of miller light?

I could possibly run CE tonight depending on time, tomorrow works too. I'm normally on at 10pm though. Gt is misterthirsty.

Isn't this a teaser image from way back when it was announced? Things have probably changed a bit from then.

Oh boy. I don't know if I can take another 7 weeks of no Hammer. I'm pretty sure my group can't put up with me whining that long!

Anyone want to take a sword running hunter for either normal ds + crota or hard crota?
I got's 3 hunters, can do it multiple times if needed
*edit*
send msg on psn if anything (noomi85), going to be a couch potato and finish watching the jinx. I'll get the notification on my phone and get on.

lol I knew you guys could do it! I was actually gonna see if I could join last minute, but you guys seemed to have filled up fast. Glad you found some good people to fill in the group.
Like I said, I'll be back next week. Maybe this little break will be just what I need to finally get HoC to drop for me.
Thanks for the adventure today Unstable, Ruthless et al. Probably the most eventful Destiny day I've ever had.
- First ever sword kill on Crota.
- Second Thunderlord.
- Motherfuckin' Fatebringer.
- Muppet labs investigating for what must have been at least 2 hours.
- Scrubbiness in abundance.
- Failing to cross the bridge like a boss.
And to top it all off, a the end of previously close brotherly relationship that quite frankly will probably never be repaired.
April fools motherfuckers.

Go to your Bungie.Net profile and look at one of your characters.
Will add shortly.
Just note that while we're both competent, we are both CE raid virgins.
Geth? Rival Gangs? wat?
