In Destiny , Xur, Agent of the Nine, will appear again in the Tower on December 12 at 10:00 AM. The focus has never been more on him and his offerings. This has fundamentally changed with the DLC “Darkness Awaits”.
Xur is important. Even the jealous Warlock must admit that he has only brought him junk in the last 10 weeks (Voidfang Vestments and Sunbreakers for everyone!).
This week, Xur is even more important than usual because he will have the “Offering of Sacrifice“, which continues a questline from Eris Morn, at the end of which the exotic auto rifle “Necrochasm” is likely to be found.
And for the first time in Destiny, there will be the option to exchange exotic weapons and armor for a new version: He will have 6 weapons and 6 armor pieces available for upgrading. Guardians will pay between 7000 and 8000 Glimmer and an exotic shard.
Potential for a lot of trouble lies with Xur this week
For the first time in Destiny, there will be new exotic weapons and armor in Xur’s inventory (or old weapons with new stats). Here lies the potential for a lot of trouble. Just like before the DLC, he only sells one exotic armor piece (per class) and one weapon per week.
If there are items from the new DLC here and Guardians cannot acquire them without the DLC “Darkness Awaits“, then today will likely be an unpleasant day for Bungie.
All about Xur, Agent of the Nine, on December 12, 13, and 14.
What new exotic weapons and armor can Xur sell?
The likely new exotic items in Destiny that Xur may have in his inventory are presented in this article: Destiny: The New Xur – Offering of Sacrifice, All New DLC Exotics, Everything About Upgrading.
Xur will come to the Tower on Friday, December 12, at 10:00 AM German time. He will stay until Sunday, December 14, also at 10:00 AM.
Where is Xur today? Where is he? What is his position?
He is next to the Crucible vendors. If you want, you can take a look at him and his offerings in this video.

What is Xur selling today? What upgrade options are there?
For Warlocks, Xur is again selling the Voidfang Vestments for 13 strange coins. This time in the “new” variant that goes up to 36 light. The armor, when upgraded, reaches a value of 139 strength. If you want to know more about the different stats on the armors, you are in the right article. However, these are still stats for 30s armor; the new 32s armor likely has higher limits.
For Hunters, the Achlyophagen Symbiont helm (man, how I look forward to writing that word every week). Xur is parting with them for 13 strange coins. The helm goes up to 101 discipline.
For Titans, the new DLC Ruin Wings gloves are available. They belong to you for 13 strange coins. The gloves reach 106 strength. The gloves can also be purchased by players without the DLC “Darkness Awaits”. So the concern that there may be trouble there was unfounded.
As a weapon, he has the exotic rocket launcher Truth (The Truth) available, so to speak the rocket launcher you take when you can’t get the Gjallarhorn. 17 strange coins and it’s yours.
Additionally, he has an exotic helm engram for sale. This won’t be the case every week. 23 light particles and you can try your luck.
The Offering of Sacrifice costs 1 strange coin. You will only see it if you have the bounty. This continues the questline with Eris.
Upgrade options for weapons are available for these 6:
- The sniper rifle Ice Breaker – a real highlight.
- The Last Word – the favorite hand cannon of today’s space cowboys.
- Red Death – one of the less popular weapons.
- Dorn – has gained popularity since the buff.
- Suros Regime – the preferred auto rifle.
- Thunderlord – he has never sold it, but he has the upgrade.
Thus, it is clear: He can also upgrade weapons that are only available through bounties. Whether he can also upgrade PlayStation-exclusive weapons and the Vex Mythoclast, we do not yet know.
Upgrade options for armors are as follows:
- Mask of the Third Man – 92 intellect, Hunter helm.
- Young Ahamkara’s Spine – 109 discipline, Hunter gloves.
- Healer’s Armor – 167 discipline, Titan armor.
- No Backup Plans – 111 strength, Titan gloves.
- Light Beyond Nemesis – 103 strength, Warlock helm.
- Sunbreakers – 87 intellect, Warlock gloves.
