Loot released from a container.

Loot is the collective term for various items, abilities, and currency that can be found or awarded to Guardians for completing quests. Before being collected, loot appears in the world as glowing polyhedra.[1] Defeating bosses will reward Guardians with rare loot, such as Exotic weapons and armor.[2] Loot can also be found in chests hidden around the world; many include Glimmer, but some also include a piece of gear. [3] Items and weapons may be traded between player characters under a single account by use of a vault, armor can only be used by the class it is designed for, at this time nothing can be traded between different players within the Tower.

Salvage materials: These are acquired by disassembling Uncommon or better armor and weapons, which are used to upgrade Rare or better armor and weapons. They are also materials acquired in Salvage Missions.

Planetary materials: Acquired by finding resource nodes or opening loot chests on planets, or purchasing from the Vanguard Quartermaster Roni 55-30. Completing the Daily Heroic Story Mission or a Bounty for Patrol missions also yields ten materials from that planet. Used to upgrade Legendary or better armor and weapons.

Also a potential reward for Public Events. Used for the final set of upgrades on Legendary armor and weapons.

Exotic materials: Acquired by purchasing from Xûr or disassembling Exotic armor and weapons. Used for the final upgrade on Exotic armor and weapons, as well as for Ascending or Infusing them.

Mission rewards

Mission rewards are items collected from completing missions. These can be turned in to the Vanguard for rewards. Ten mission rewards can be carried at once.

Bounties

Current Bounties are stored as items in a player's inventory, which then have to be returned upon completion. A player can carry five Bounties of any type at any one time. These can be abandoned at any time to free up slots and, if they are still available from the Bounty Vendor, picked up again with all progress reset to zero.
