In Destiny Xur, the Agent of the Nine, will also appear at the Tower on December 19 to offer his goods. We have his inventory and location, tell you what he is selling, which exotic weapons and armor he can upgrade this time, and have screenshots and videos for you.
The Guardians long for Gjallarhorn
When watching current videos, such as about the Guardian who soloed the new raid, you realize how incredibly important the “big” weapons in Destiny are. While the focus has been on light levels and armor in recent weeks, the key to success is indeed the few exceptional weapons. There is hardly a stronger upgrade for a Guardian than the rocket launcher Gjallarhorn. Even if the new rocket launcher from the raid can be a substitute.
But how do you get Gjallarhorn or the Icebreaker? Either you are incredibly lucky and randomly receive the exotic weapon somewhere in Destiny. Or you buy it from Xur, the Agent of the Nine. But he only has it each week with a vanishingly small probability. Should he perhaps have Gjallarhorn, the Icebreaker, Thunderlord, or another similarly spectacular instrument of death on offer this week?
The new Xur in Destiny
If you missed it last week, there are some changes to Xur. While he can still sell exotic weapons and armor, he also serves as a quest NPC for “The Cauldron of Sacrifice” and he upgrades armor and weapons. He can probably also upgrade the PlayStation-exclusive weapons Hawkmoon and Monte Carlo, but not the Vex Mythoclast.
Alongside Xur, there are currently two other important NPCs in the Tower. While Lord Saladin with his Iron Banner has a rather dreary existence, Eris Morn is more popular than ever since Guardians learned that she has the “Eidolon Ally”, a legendary automatic rifle in Destiny.
