Auto Ammo Replenish

Hints

The ammo in your primary weapon and some ammo in your special/heavy weapons will replenish itself if you stand idle for 45 seconds.

Guaranteed Engrams

Hints

1. Find the place where you play The Dark Within. Kill the enemies there.
2. Search around until on your radar see an enemy blip. Go to it.
3. You will find a Thrall in a corner named "Servant of the Hand". Kill it.
4. In the bottom left corner you will see "The Servant of the Hand has been disturbed." It will start doing all this freaky stuff.
5. Don't worry, just pay attention to the enemies. There will be a bunch of Thralls. Kill them.
6. At the end there will be a Blade of Crota. Kill that. You will get the Blade of Crota and guaranteed engram(s).

Double Jump

Hints

Hit the jump button a third time after double jumping to deactivate your boosters and land quickly.

Kill 2,500 Enemies then Collect Upgrade Materials

Hints

Getting 2500 kills on a planets doubles the upgrade materials you can collect from that planet. For example, if you kill 2500 enemies on Earth, and then collect a spinmetal plant, you will receive 2 spinmetals instead of one.

Glimmer from Gear

Hints

Disassemble unwanted gear in your inventory to break it down into materials and glimmer.

Loot Cave in Old Russia

Hints

To quickly get loot, especially high-level gear, go to Earth and find the cave at Skywatch in Old Russia. There will probably be players already there, making use of this trick. Hive Acolytes and Thralls spawn in waves from the cave and rush out. Kill them before they find cover, but don't head in for the loot just yet. Remain just far enough away, and the waves will spawn over and over again. Eventually, they'll have dropped a ton of loot for you to collect.

This method can also be used to build up a lot of glimmer, especially if you use the Black Wax Idol items, which increase the glimmer you get from killing Hive enemies.

Tower Sprint Jump

Hints

In the Tower, sprint, jump, and jump again the moment you land. By repeating jumps, your momentum will let you move faster than you can sprint.

Ether Seed

Hints

If you use an Ether Seed, which enemies may drop, you'll earn extra glimmer for 10 minutes.

How to Get Legendary and Exotic Gear

Hints

Use the tips below to get Legendary and Exotic gear.

• Go to the central areas of the Tower and talk to Xander to receive PvP bounties. By performing certain PvP tasks, you will sometimes be rewarded with Legendary gear.
• Accept PvE bounties, which also sometimes reward you with Legendary gear.
• Legendary and Exotic items are often rewards for the weekly Raid and Nightfall Activities.
• Accept Vanguard bounties, play missions from the Strike Playlist, complete Public Events, and give materials to Roni. You'll earn Vanguard Marks for all of these things. Vanguard Marks are a form of payment for which you can get Legendary Vanguard gear.
