PSA: Do Not Equip a Spektar Faction Class Item When Doing the Faction Quest
If you're working on the quest for an exotic class item from a faction, do not wear a spektar class item that you may get from a package.
After exchanging all of my heavy ammo syntheses, motes of light, and planetary material, I got rank 25 for Dead Orbit. I have gotten lots of Spektar Heliopause gear, including the Spektar Heliopause Bond. And I already have the emblem and shader. So naturally I'd begin grinding the heroic strike playlist for the quest.
But after finishing a strike, I'm still at 0%. So for science, I went back to the tower, purchased a non-spektar class item, and launched the heroic strike playlist. Now I'm receiving points for the quest.
In retrospect, I should've tracked the quest so that I could check my progress during the strike. But the thought never occurred to me.
This has been your public service announcement. Bungie, please make it so that wearing spektar class items count for the quest.
Edit: Let's keep spreading this word! Thanks to those who did!
Edit 2: It appears that Bungie is aware of this bug and is working on a fix. https://www.bungie.net/Mobi/en/About/Article?id=44590
