Destiny "Hint" for players who think it takes a long time to upgrade a weapon or piece of armor .
I've noticed a lot of CAG members not doing there daily bounties and this is a bad thing if wanting to unlock upgrades fast .
Here's how bounties help . Vanguard and crucible bounties both have XP boosts for rewards along with marks for said bounty . The "trick" is when you have completed your bounties and are about to turn the in make sure to have the weapon and armor you are trying to upgrade equipped on your character so that the XP boost that you get with turning in your bounty spreads across all equipped weapons and armor .
If you don't believe me grab yourself five Vanguard bounties and complete them all and then equip a weapon that needs to be upgraded and turn all the bounties in at once and see how many upgrades you have unlocked for said weapon .
Give it a shot on your next gaming session .
