In the MMO shooter Destiny , Xur, the exotic items vendor, appears on Friday, November 13, in the Tower or the Reef. Hopefully, he has no bad intentions.
Friday the Thirteenth and Halloween was also quite recent, so one can almost be glad that the only thing Xur regularly assassinates and massacres is the Guardians’ hopes. A few weeks ago, there was a little surprise with Xur, as he brought a helmet that no one even knew would have a Year 2 version.
Since then, some speculate that Bungie would use Xur to bring either “old exotic items” into Year 2 or even some of the still outstanding “new exotic armor pieces.” Therefore, it remains exciting what Don Calamari has to offer. Hopefully, it won’t be a hatchet.
All about Xur in Destiny on November 13, 14, and 15.
When does Xur come and when does he leave again?
Xur arrives on Friday, the 13th, at 10:00 a.m. He leaves again on Sunday, November 15, at 10:00 a.m.
Where is Xur? What is his position?
Xur is located in the Hangar in the Tower. In this video from our friends on YouTube, from ProNDC, you can follow the path.
How does the Glass Needle work?
We detailed this in this article, allowing exotic armor pieces to be rerolled.
Where do I get the strange coins that Xur wants?
We also have an article for that, where we described how to obtain strange coins in 2015.
What does Xur have in store? What does he have with him?
Xur has an Exotic Weapon Engram, no weapon this time. The Engram costs 19 strange coins with the chance of exotic gloves from Year 2.
For Warlocks, he has the helmet Obsidian Greaves (34/49 INT; 35/50 STR). Like all armor pieces, it costs 13 strange coins.
For Hunters, he has the gloves Ahamkara’s Spine (55/68 DIS) with him.
For the Titans, there is the chest armor the Mark of Alpha Lupi (90/110 INT). This is extremely sought after in the Trials of Osiris.
As a Legacy Engram, there are chest armors. Year 1 items with Year 1 values can drop from that.
From the Exotic Weapon Engram, the following “new” Year 2 armors can drop:
- For Titans, the Shattered Fists
- For Hunters, the Sealed Ahamkara Grips
- For Warlocks The Impossible Machines
The three other “new” gloves Thagomizer (Titan), Shinobu’s Vow (Hunter) and Ophidian Aspect (Warlock) are not yet in the game, only in the database.
