From what my friend has told me, the most grenades he's tossed during a single Super is 11.
Nope

Why isn't it good on bosses? Ignoring that specials and heavies are better for boss damage, you often run out of ammo, and wouldn't it be good for adds?

Pretty sure this has been discussed to death but the companion app screws up all of the colors of your character big time.

Hey all. Some people have been asking about patrol missions, how many there are, and what they do.
If you find yourself doing patrol missions to increase your Vanguard rank, gather marks, for a bounty, whatever you probably want to know what the specific tasks for patrol missions are so you can either do the ones you enjoy the most or get through them more quickly.
To see what type of mission a patrol beacon is (or see where they are), press the touchpad on the PS4 or select button the Xbox (I'm assuming on that last part). It should also be noted that beacons respawn every ten minutes, and once they respawn (or if you go to the Tower and come back and load the map again), they change their type of mission.
As far as I've found, there are five types. I'll update this post if I'm missing any.
Four thingies Let's start with the two symbols on the farthest left. You see a diamond and four...thingies. Whatever they're supposed to be, these patrol missions are pretty basic: kill enemies. That's it. No collecting, and it's usually not that specific. These are very fast to do and ones I usually shoot for when doing a Vanguard bounty.
Triangle Moving over to the right side of the picture, patrol missions marked by this symbol are probably the second fastest to do: collect stuff by killing enemies. Sometimes it won't matter which enemies you kill, sometimes it will, and sometimes the game will be very specific and it'll take you a little longer. Like above, I like these because they're quick.
Pokéball Moving on, as you see on the left side of this picture, be prepared to be on your sparrow or do some walking. This is a scan-the-area mission; in this one you have to stand in the area marked until the bar on the left side of your screen fills up. These are more clumsy than the diamond missions because the game isn't too clear where you're supposed to stand.
Diamond Moving on, there's a diamond symbol on the right. These have you scan things too. As with the Pokéball mission, make sure you're willing to do lots of traveling before you activate it, as the objective can be on the other side of the map. This is the type of scanning that'll have you push square or X to bring out your ghost and have him make that...green pulse or whatever it is.
Star In the middle of this picture is probably my favorite type of patrol mission: assassination. Most of the time the mission will take you to a specific area of the map to kill some Hive Wizard or Fallen Knight or what have you. But on occasion, it'll give you a special mission. For example, remember this fight from E3 2013? That's a patrol mission in Old Russia you can activate.

Gambled on exotic engram, got a pretty crappy chest armor. At least it's for my class.

It has a small clip size. The special feature of this weapon is when you kill an enemy ammo teleports into your clip.On hoards of small stuff you rarely have to reload. On bosses you will be stuck reloading a lot if you are using this primary since you won't be getting kills to put ammo into the clip.

Oh god, got my first legendary weapon... And it's a Sniper Rifle. I never use Sniper Rifles. :'(

Does every exotic weapon have a bounty associated with it, or just some? I keep seeing the same 3 exotic bounties being obtained. I really want a Suros Regime, is my only option to hope that Xur sells one eventually, or pray that I get one from a legendary engram?

Thank you for this! I hated doing those scanning missions.

Anyone doing weekly heroic strike?
Those with patrols are the best way.
Edit: Whoops, you said marks.
Yeah strike playlists all the way. With a crew that knows their shit, you can knock them out pretty quick.

Patrolling the moon for chests and piles is about as easy as it gets. Everything is close together and the helium piles are easy to spot against the grey moon. My favorite planet to patrol since every area is so densely packed.
Correct they are not the best way. Public events are.
Just loop around anchor of light?

It should be noted that a beacon will respawn about 10 minutes after you've completed it, and beacons change their type on respawn. One day you'll go to the Divide and see 3 collection beacons, another day you'll see 2 scouts and a hitman beacon.
I suppose if it was a decent gun, they would've gone with "Sweet Juju" or "Bodacious Juju"

All I got was the Shader and I think Ascendant Shards. A few other people got weapons/armor. But you do can get good loot from the chest's located throughout the Raid.

Need more guess for my Legendary Engram Decryption Party.
19 Legendary Engrams (of various armour and gun). How many Legendary (or exotic, or rare, or green, or material) did the Cryptarch see fit to bestow upon me?

Agreed. I did the moon/awoken the hive thing for glimmer and spent it all on ammo for heavy. SO glad I did. Some of these strikes (chandelier) are very hard as you can get trapped in a small area and wizards prevent you from leaving to get ammo.
