Bungie cares about your gains, Destiny players. As part of the impending update set to go live on April 12, the studio is looking to improve the rate at which you earn faction reputation - thus making it easier to earn special rewards from various vendors scattered about the Tower.

"Your time is valuable, so we’ve increased the amount of reputation you’ll gain by completing the activities you enjoy," senior designer Victoria Dollbaum writes in a new blog post. To that end, Bungie has beefed up rewards for Heroic Strikes, Crucible matches, Patrol missions, and the Prison of Elders. You can see the full breakdown below:

Heroic Strikes120 Vanguard reputation, 60 reputation with your aligned Faction

Kill and Collect Patrols: 40 Vanguard reputation, 20 reputation with your aligned Faction
