In the MMO shooter Destiny, starting at 11 AM today, strange coins can be exchanged for exotic items from Xur, the Agent of the Nine and black market dealer.
In the MMO Destiny, every Friday is Xursday, a reason to celebrate. Xur, a vendor, appears in the Tower with a variety of desirable exotic armors and always offers an exotic weapon. However, he gives these only in exchange for “strange coins.” Since he is also the only place to spend these coins, it makes sense.
Exotic items in Destiny have special bonus abilities and unique names (and a great sound). A Guardian can only equip one exotic weapon and one exotic armor piece at a time. The items are designed to spark the collection instinct of the Guardians, so that players, even if they’ve achieved everything else, still seek the next exotic item to be more versatile. In Destiny, it is advisable not only to have the strongest weapons but also a wide variety, ideally one of each damage type in the three slots: Primary, Special, and Heavy.
The armor pieces that Xur offers can be upgraded to a light level of 30. That’s the magic number that allows you to reach the light level of 30. This is currently the goal for many players preparing for the next DLC in December.
All about Xur in Destiny from October 24 to October 26
When is Xur in the Tower this week?
Xur arrives on Friday at 11 AM and stays until Sunday afternoon. However, since the clocks will be set back to standard time overnight from Saturday to Sunday, he will likely leave by 10 AM.
Where is Xur?
The location of Xur is in the room with the three Vanguard vendors.
What does Xur have for each class and what does it cost?
For Warlocks, he offers the following chest armor: The Voidfang Vestments for 13 strange coins.
For Titans, he has – as in the last week – the Armamentarium for 13 strange coins.
For Hunters, there is also an exotic armor piece this week, the Alpha Lupi, for 13 strange coins.
The Suros Regime, surely a dream for many, is an automatic rifle and is available this week for 23 strange coins. Yes, primary weapons are that expensive.
Update: The Suros Regime is definitely the highlight of this week. In the forums for Destiny, players are heavily discussing whether it’s worth purchasing after the nerf of automatic rifles. The general mood can be summarized as: Of course, it’s worth it, just buy it already! The Slow perk makes the weapon still excellent in mid-range and close-range and the least affected by the nerf of automatic rifles.
An exotic glove engram is also available for 23 Motes of Light. Here, caution is advised, as no one knows what will drop. It could also be an exotic pair of gloves for another class.
