How DIM's Progress Page and Bounty Guide Improve Efficiency

DIM's progress page and bounty guide help you plan a play session before you load into it: the progress page shows where to go next, and the bounty guide tells you which items to bring so you can complete the most bounties at that destination. The payoff is fewer trips back to the vault and fewer bounties left unfinished because you brought the wrong gear. This applies to any player running bounties across destinations, and it works alongside DIM's item moving and loadout tools rather than replacing them.

What each tool does

Progress page

The progress page is DIM's tracking view for "where to go next." It gives you a forward-looking picture of your outstanding objectives so you can decide which destination or activity to tackle instead of guessing.

Bounty guide

The bounty guide works from the other direction: once you've picked a destination, it indicates which items to bring so you can get the most bounties done while you're there. That means matching your loadout to the bounties you're carrying before you leave orbit, not after you've already landed.

How they combine into an efficient session

The two tools form a simple loop:

1. Check the progress page to see where you should go next.
2. Open the bounty guide for that destination to see what to bring.
3. Build or adjust your loadout so the required weapons and gear are on your active character.
4. Move anything missing from the vault using DIM's drag-and-drop or direct equip, which works while you're flying into an activity or in the Tower/orbit.
5. Play the destination once with everything you need, completing the most bounties in a single visit.

The efficiency comes from doing steps 1–4 before you commit to a destination. Each return trip to the vault or a second visit to the same location is time you don't get back.

A concrete example

Suppose you're deciding what to do tonight. You open the progress page and see several unfinished objectives pointing to one destination. You open the bounty guide for that destination and it tells you which items to bring. You notice one required weapon is sitting in your vault, so you drag it onto your active character while still in orbit, then equip it. You fly in once and clear the bounties in a single run instead of discovering mid-activity that the weapon is missing and having to re-run the destination later.

Where this fits with the rest of DIM

These tools are part of the same workflow as DIM's other features, so you don't need separate apps:

Because DIM is a progressive web app, you can check the progress page and bounty guide on your PC, tablet, or phone, and install it from browsers that support PWAs such as Chrome, Edge, and Safari. That makes it practical to plan a session before you sit down at your main screen.

Practical tips

• Plan before you launch. Use the progress page and bounty guide while still in orbit or before starting the game, so your loadout is ready the moment you land.
• Save repeated searches. If you routinely hunt for the same armor rolls, save the query so setup for a bounty run takes seconds.
• Pair with the loadout optimizer. When the bounty guide tells you what to bring, the optimizer can assemble a set that meets your stat and mod targets at the same time.
• Use recommendations as a shortcut. Items flagged with a thumbs-up from community wishlists help you spot good rolls quickly while you're assembling a run.
