In the MMO shooter Destiny , Xur arrives on Friday, April 17th. He is a vendor of exotic items, but you can never know in advance what he will have available. His inventory is a surprise on April 17th.
Only the exotic machine gun Thunderlord is missing; otherwise, Xur has had every item he can sell in the last months since his first appearance in September. Of course, that doesn’t mean much.
In the early weeks, hardly anyone knew him and many current guardians only started playing Destiny around Christmas or in 2015. Some players have since switched classes or taken on additional guardians. Therefore, not everyone has all the weapons and armor Xur has ever carried. Others simply lacked the currency in between.
Xur’s Price List: How many strange coins the exotic weapons and armor cost at Xur
Xur only accepts strange coins as currency for the golden treasures. He wants 23 for primary weapons, 17 for special and heavy weapons, and 13 for armor pieces. By the way, it doesn’t matter where the weapons are ultimately worn; only the weapon type counts. So, Neither Land Beyond nor the Universal Remote, even if used as primary weapons due to a special perk, only costs 17 strange coins.
Bungie hasn’t said anything yet about whether and how Xur will be adjusted for the next DLC “House of Wolves”. Before “Darkness Awaits,” he was significantly changed. One of his new jobs, upgrading old exotic armor and weapons, will likely be handled differently soon, expanded, or perhaps even reassigned.
All about Xur, the strange coin dealer, on April 17th, 18th, and 19th in Destiny
When does Xur come to the Tower, how long does he stay?
Xur arrives on Friday, April 17th, at 11:00 AM. He leaves on Sunday, April 19th, at 11:00 AM. He stays for 48 hours.
Where is Xur?
Xur is thirsty and stands in the bar, the lounge.
What’s with the numbers on the armor pieces?
These are the values in intellect, discipline, and strength. They can vary within certain parameters that differ by armor type: chest armors can reach the highest values, while gloves have the lowest. The principle is: the higher, the better. Here you can find more details.
What does Xur have this week?
Xur is selling this week the exotic hand cannon “The Last Word. The prediction has once again come true. The hand cannon is still considered a widowmaker in the Crucible and is indeed one of the absolute eye-catchers in Destiny due to its special firing technique.
For Titans, he has the Helm of Saint-14 (very strong 117/125) with him.
The Hunters receive the DLC boots “Radiant Dance Machines” (decent 140/150).
And the Warlocks receive another chance to acquire the Voidfang Vestment (144/155).
This week, there is also a chest engram and as always heavy ammo synths.
Which weapons and armor can he upgrade this week?
The thing about upgrading weapons and armor will probably be completely overhauled with House of Wolves. At the moment, Xur still plays a big role in the method. Here’s more about it.
