On August 21st, Xur, the Agent of the Nine, arrives at the MMO shooter Destiny. He brings a variety of exotic armor and weapons, which will be included in a strange blue-print collection in a few weeks.
No one knows yet what will happen with Xur and the strange coins in “The Taken King,” the much-discussed expansion of Destiny. He is supposed to receive a new item that increases the chances of obtaining an exotic item from a boss enemy. However, it is not known if all the collected coins will still play a role with “The Taken King.”
It’s also unclear how many new exotic items he will get. At the moment, it seems that Bungie is more inclined to distribute new exotic weapons through long quests rather than simply placing them in the inventory of the tentacled guy.
In the last live stream, it was shown that one of the methods to gain reputation is to turn in heavy ammo synths. Here it might be worth stocking up – but that is pure speculation at the moment.
