In the MMO shooter Destiny , the arrival of Xur, the Agent of the Nine, is expected on Friday, July 3rd. What exotic armor and weapons is he selling this time? What engrams is he carrying? Where is he?
For a handful of strange coins, the tentacle-faced Xur, so to speak a face Gorgon, can deliver some of the best items in the game. Exotic armor and weapons are a kind of X-factor in Destiny. Every Guardian can only equip one piece of armor and one weapon with a golden background. They have “unique” properties that legendary items do not possess. Armor pieces are considered crucial for certain gear configurations, they are the “cornerstones”.
Usually, an armor piece determines the entire orientation of the armor, and the individual parts should ideally reinforce each other. This means that if one armor piece enhances the “Super”, the other armor pieces should ensure that the Guardian can utilize the Super faster.
Is Xur’s future in danger?
As Xur can bring a variety of armor and weapons, he serves as a “catch-up mechanic” that sooner or later ensures that some of the most sought-after weapons and armor are available to everyone in Destiny.
Whether Bungie will continue with this method remains to be seen. Recently, statements from the developers have revealed enthusiasm for exotic loot missions, a kind of “quest series,” at the end of which players receive an exotic weapon. This type of item cannot be carried by Xur. In House of Wolves, not a single new weapon was added for Xur. The three new exotic weapons are obtained through a bounty.
All about Xur on July 3, July 4, and July 5 in Destiny
When does Xur come? When is he gone?
Xur arrives on July 3rd at 11:00 AM in the Tower or Reef. He disappears again on Sunday, July 5th, also at 11:00 AM.
Where is he?
Xur is located in the Hangar – that is, in the Tower.
What is up with the numbers on the armor pieces?
These are the values of the item. They range within certain parameters. In this article, you can learn more about it
What is Xur selling in Destiny this week?
Xur sells the shotgun Universal Device. This is the pump that fits in the primary slot. Still, it costs 17 strange coins. More about shotguns can be found in this article.
For Warlocks, he has the helmet Apostasy Veil (good 123/130) available. As with all armor pieces, he wants 13 strange coins for it.
Titans will rejoice over the helmet An Insurmountable Skullfort (strong 125/131).
Hunters can acquire the chest armor “Luckberry” (equally strong 163/171).
Furthermore, he has an exotic helmet engram available. The three new exotic helmets introduced with House of Wolves are:
- The Ram for the Warlock
- Insurmountable for the Titan
- and Celestial Nighthawk for the Hunter
Not a strong offer, except for the engrams. However, one can take comfort in the fact that the values of the sold pieces are relatively high. The helmets have 130 and 131 – the maximum value lies at 135/136. The chest armor has 171, where the maximum value is 181.
