How to unlock Lord Shaxx’s weekly Crucible Bounties in Destiny

With Year Two of Destiny, Bungie introduced a weekly ritual experience for PvP players, similar to what PvE players have with the Nightfall. It comes in the form of Weekly Bounties for the Crucible, which you can obtain from Lord Shaxx in the Tower. However, to obtain these quests you must first meet a series of requirements: complete the Lord Shaxx Crucible quest line and be Ranked 3 with Crucible reputation.

Spoiler, neither of these are easy to do. The Lord Shaxx quest line to unlock the Weekly Bounties is incredibly long. So if you think you’re close to completing it, you’re probably not. Wondering how much you have left before finally becoming eligible? Check out the guide below.
