Destiny Guide: Exotic Bounties and How to Earn Them

Exotic Bounties are given to you for turning in bounties at the guy in the tower. Chances of him giving you one are rare but if you do get one don’t get too happy because there’s still a lot of steps to complete before you can get that elusive exotic weapon.
