In Destiny, Xur has the exotic pistol Trespasser available. If you don’t have it yet, you can now acquire the “Trespasser.”
Xur is selling this weekend a pistol. It’s called “Trespasser” and is one of the few exotics that came with the expansion “The Rise of Iron.”
Next to the Promise of the Outlaw, the Trespasser is the second exotic pistol in the game. Since it appeared a few days before the RoI launch in Destiny, there was a lot of hype surrounding this weapon, as everyone wanted to obtain the Trespasser from an exotic engram in advance. However, in the long term, it did not convince – for months, there was a shotgun meta, in which pistols only occupied a niche position.
Since the update 2.5.0.2 in February 2017, the situation has changed: Due to various nerfs, buffs, and adjustments, pistols have come to the forefront. The Wyrm is currently the dominant special weapon, and the Trespasser is always ranking high among the best and most popular weapons in PvP. In “Elimination,” for example, it ranks third among the special weapons that achieve the most kills – behind the Wyrm and the Icebreaker.
In short: If you don’t have the Trespasser yet, make sure to get it now. It’s a special weapon with an interesting look and great value in the Crucible.
What makes the Trespasser unique
The Trespasser can be obtained randomly from the usual sources, such as exotic special weapon engrams, raids, the Nightfall strike, or the Trials of Osiris. Xur also occasionally brings the Trespasser.
The Trespasser comes with interesting stats: The impact is increased to 15, but the rate of fire is not 91 – like all other pistols of this archetype – but 90. The range is above average, and stability and reload speed are outstanding:
The exotic deals Arc damage and comes with three primary perks:
- Unyielding Pursuer: Kills grant a short period of improved target tracking
- Be the Danger: Fires bullet salvos with deadly precision – When you pull the trigger once, three shots are fired.
- Unrepentant: Reloading after a kill grants a longer Super salvo – The salvo consists of six shots
With Calm Hand OV, Quick Draw OV, and Sure Shot OV you can influence handling and recoil control.
Additionally, you can choose between:
- Quick Draw: Weapon can be drawn faster
- Hand Loader: Effective at greater range
- Reinforced Barrel: Increased range, reduced stability
The Trespasser is powerful not only in PvP but also finds its use in PvE – especially when Arc burn is active, as in this week in the heroic strikes. Then you can unleash the Pew-Pew and shred through the masses of enemies.
Do you take your Trespasser out from time to time? What do you think of it?
