SteelmonkeyQuickest way to grind xp?
beefsackTarget the seasonal challenges, they give heaps of XP.
jgkawellAnd while doing these grab as many bounties as you can. Double dip as much as possible.
This is definitely the right move. You can get a ton of levels by doing like 4-5 games of Gambit, some strikes, and a few Deep Dives as long as you take a look at the challenges first.

Put the highest level ghost mod on which boosts XP gains (I think it’s 15%?) and as mentioned visit every vendor to grab bounties to do while doing seasonal activities/triumphs; stack gains and complete complementary tasks together to maximize your time spent.
Choose ritual (gambit/vanguard/crucible) bounties carefully as some are a waste of time for the xp gained. Neomuna enemies are bullet sponges, go somewhere else unless you have to be there for a specific thing. Use LFG to complete high XP events that are tougher rather than struggling solo.
Grab a/any patrol if you’re near one and complete it passively, don’t forget you have bounties/patrols on Europa, Moon, Dreaming City, etc. Use Grasp, Alter of Sorrows and Shuro Chi to knock out some of the ones from Banshee fast. Use solo Legend activities (think nightmare hunt or empire hunt) if you need to get champs for something, but don’t waste too much time on any one single task (come back to it later, if even).

Look through the weekly challenges in the battlepass, and try to do as many simulatenously as you can. It won’t take more than maybe a couple of hours of your time since towards the end of a season, you can complete numerous challenges at the same time. I was able to get my wife’s account from level 60 to level 97 in about 3-4 hours of grinding on a saturday.
Whenever you’re going to play, fire up the Destiny 2 mobile app and grab bounties for your character while everything is loading. You can look at the bounties and optimize your time a bit (SMG kills from Banshee and Eris, for example), but honestly, I just play how I want and get a bunch of bounties completed anyway.
If you want to be super optimal, save up bounties and wait to redeem them until you’re in a fireteam and not in orbit. Tower and HELM both work fine. This will let you take advantage of fireteam XP bonuses.
One other rule of bounty grinding, always try to redeem any saved bounties before the next daily/weekly reset if you want to be able to do those bounties again during the next cycle. Sometimes there can be quite a few repeats from day to day, and redeeming before reset keeps your options open.
Weekly challenges give stupid amounts of XP, and you can optimize them. If something wants you to use scouts a bunch and progresses slowly, and another wants you to play some strikes and crucible, use a scout in there. Grab bounties that complement what you’re doing.
I would keep an eye though on some weekly challenges and see how fast they’re progressing. It isn’t worth doing a challenge that’ll take 20 Gambit games if you’ve finished every other Gambit challenge. Try to get the best bang for your buck. The seasonal story is always a good way to do that
