I use strikes to glimmer/bounty farm. Speed running is useless to me.

  • bounties is no excuse n glimmer is too also. there is exclusion zone if u want money. patrol is way better to do bounties.

  • Exactly. Some idiot keeps saying go to patrols. Strikes have a far larger supply of enemies in an enclosed area. Why would anyone go patrol when they can kill 100+ enemies in under 10 mins running a single strike. Kinda ridiculous to even compare

    Every bounty has a story mission where you can complete it quickly and with little time involved. Strikes are a horrible way to collect bounties because you have no control over the area your playing. You could easily do 3+ strikes before you get one that will allow you to complete bounties. Killing Hive majors or ultras cannot be don't on Venus or Mars strikes so why waste your time playing them if you can go directly to the area with those enemies. The Bounties that require precision damage or killing enemies without taking damage can be done doing the story bounties to save time. The exclusion zone is easily the fastest way to collect glimmer because you can aquire 10,000 in under 25 minutes. People complain they never get the drops they want, but waste time not doing things that will allow those drops to happen. It blows my mind.

  • Lol here's the problem. When I farm for anything, I'm not going to do it inefficiently . you people complain about taking time but in reality, I could farm bounties, glimmer, class mats, and faction rank all at once instead of sitting at the exclusion zone for 30 mins. Plus get my cryptarch rank up. Weird how people limit themselves to one thing at a time

  • Haha, suit yourself. I can do most bounties in under 3 minutes each, then spend 30 minutes in the exclusion zone farming glimmer, and guess what the Cabal drop engrams just as frequently as any other enemy in strikes. So in an hour I've earned 10,000 glimmer and 10 bounties. Good luck doing that running strikes kid.

  • Hey question. What is your reward for running that mission? That's right...nothing. I prefer engrams to a tedious run where I get nothing out of it. As you said bounties take 3mins so doing strikes doesn't slow you down in anyway. That's why running strikes legit is the best way when you need glimmer,class mats, and bounties all at once

  • If I want to go on Patrol, I'll do that, if I want to play a strike the way they're meant to be played and how I enjoy it, I'm also gonna do that. The same way you seem to want to be a dick, so you are...

    Patrol ok for bounty but glimmer stikes are better more majors and more swarms. You can make about 4k on the black garden strike

  • Also the black garden isn't a strike it's a mission.

  • Well there is a black garden strike if your on PS4. Personally I like patrol you get faction up faster on patrol but when it come to glimmer and blue engram farm I do strikes.

  • If you need glimmer farm the first part of exclusion zone. You can get to 25k in 30 min.

  • I do that as well but don't get as many blue engrams plus is boring to kill die kill.

  • But it's the most efficient way, get your 25k then go speed run strikes.
