Welcome to this first day of October, 2014. I’m John “Boomjack” Hoskin and this is Here Comes The Boom – EP #21.
You love ‘em! You hate ‘em! Bounties and Dailies!
World of Warcraft was the first game that I played that persuaded me to perform daily quests. They were repetitious. They became boring. But, boy…did I do my dailies. I’m a creature of structure. I write this column at the same time every morning, right after I do my work out (at the same time), put my kids on the bus (same time) and have coffee with my wife (there’s a trend here.)
The lure of the Valor and Honor that I was accumulating kept me going. I needed better gear and as a casual player one way to get it was…. To complete dailies.
With that in mind and knowing that I’m currently playing Destiny. Here is my incomplete and utterly inefficient guide to Bounties in Destiny.
In alphabetical order (more added as I find them) This list will be updated until the community says “enough already”

Defeat the Prohibitive Mind in the "Rising Tide" mission on Mars with the Heroic modifier active. Load up "Rising Tide", turn on Hard Mode and have at it.Walking Tall

If you have a great way to complete one of these bounties, or have one that isn’t listed (I just posted the ones that I completed recently) Send it along to me in the comments below and I’ll add it with credit to you. Thanks in advance for helping the community.
