Head shot kills.  When they go splat and the damage you did comes up in yellow numbers, that's a critical hit, a precision kill.  The vex goblins and the like, their crit spot is on their bellies, harpies, shoot the red eye, minotaurs/praetorians don't have a crit spot, just hammer on them until they die.  Everything else, shoot it in the head.

Tried to do the vanguard precision kill bounty and I'm not sure what they call a precision kill. I've been using the sniper rifle and have many head shots and still no precision kills recorded. What give??

Yea I've had many yellow number kills but it's not counting towards the bounty.. I've tried to look it up on Google and bungie the only thing I find is others complained about it no definite answer to the issue. Maybe it's in the works to a bug fix?? Just didn't know if it was just me haha

Depends on the enemies as well. Vex usually require a shot in the stomach for it to be a precision shot. Basically, whenever the text is yellow, it is a precision shot.

I would not use explosive rounds if I were you.  Not sure if it's been covered on this forum but it's been broken down on reddit pretty well.  They do not add any additional damage to the weapon.  Basically all they do is split your weapon damage 60/40.  60% of your damage will be directed on the target as normal, the other 40% will now become AOE splash damage.  All 40% of that splash damage will not be absorbed by your target, you'll lose a lot of it to nothing.  

Explosive rounds only serve a purpose when taking out large groups of trash mobs as you'll slightly damage enemies near your target at the expense of not doing big damage to one of them.  This is easily testable, I did it for myself.  Load up any mission, patrol or strike and find the biggest, baddest guy you can find.  Use the gun without explosive rounds and fire a couple rounds at the critical hit spot....remember how much damage each shot does.  Now equip explosive rounds and do the same thing...notice how much less damage you are doing.

TLDR; explosive rounds take away 40% of your direct weapon damage and make it AOE (area of effect) damage.

Interesting, I am going to have to test that out, I still like the explosive rounds, there is nothing like clearing out a mob with a well placed head-shot especially during a nightfall with Arc burn. Field scout only adds 1 plus 23 to your reserve which isn't really that great either and it becomes even less important once you unlock the outlaw perk (precision kills increase reload) I actually like this perk better than the explosive rounds.

That perk is firefly (precision kills cause enemy to explode) which is different than explosive rounds.  Firefly is fucking amazing and totally different.

Anyone know how the Companion app works as far as showing how much of the Raids you have completed?

I've finished Crota's End but lack one drop on VoG...not sure what drop I missed, but the last bar (4 total) isn't lit up. Does each bar represent a section, last one being Atheon? Or is their no order to them?
