In the MMO shooter Destiny, the Strange Coin merchant Xur will pay a visit on October 9th. What is he selling this time?
Bungie is apparently managing to carry the momentum from the first weeks into daily life. There was a lot happening in Destiny this week: This time it was all about the Sleeper Simulant, a new exotic weapon. Then a secret room in the raid was revealed as a basketball court, and for next week, the return of the PvP events Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris, as well as the introduction of a cash shop are on the agenda.
And that’s not all. Further developments are anticipated. Players can be excited about what awaits them in the coming days and weeks. And that is more than could often be said about last year.
Currently still a mystery: When will the other half of the exotic armor pieces be introduced in the game, which are already available in the database? Without them, the selection of exotic armors is still limited at the moment. Only a small amount can drop from various engrams. Xur also has a limited selection available to stock his inventory of Year 2 armor pieces.
The duplicates will continue to pile up for now.
All about Xur on October 9th, 10th, and 11th.
When does Xur arrive in Destiny and when does he leave?
Xur will arrive on Friday, October 9th, at 11:00 AM in the Tower or the Reef in Destiny. He will leave again on Sunday, October 11th, also at 11:00 AM.
Where is Xur this time? What is his location?
Xur is located with the Vanguard merchants.
What do the numbers in parentheses mean for armor pieces?
The numbers represent the current values of that particular armor piece for this week. They can vary between certain parameters. The rule is: The higher, the better.
What is Xur selling this week?
Xur is selling NO weapon this week, but a helmet engram – it costs 19 strange coins.
For Titans, he has the helmet “One-Eyed Mask” (36/51 INT; 31/46 STR). All armor pieces cost 13 strange coins.
For Hunters, the helmet “Shinobu’s Vow.” (34/49 INT, 35/50 DIS).

The Year 1 Legacy engram is a heavy weapon engram. It drops Year 1 items with Year 1 stats.
From the gloves in the engram, there are new Year 2 gloves as follows:
- For Titans the Exo-Fists
- For Hunters the Sealed Ahamkara Grasps
- For Warlocks the Impossible Machines
