In the MMO shooter Destiny , Xur, Agent of the Nine, is also working on May 1st. Starting at 11:00 AM, he will be in the Tower offering exotic goods. We present his offerings with video and images; revealing his location and the quality of the goods.
A day off of work is not something Xur is entitled to. Although he nominally works a full 48 hours, as everyone knows, he sneaks away to the break room as soon as no one is watching and lets the tadpoles dance with all the strange coins he has scammed in the past months.
Xur’s offerings are mysterious, just like his origin. He always talks about “the Nine.” What exactly they are is something no one has figured out yet. Wild legends surround them. Some believe “the Nine” are the remaining artificial intelligences that have hidden themselves in the rings of Saturn. Others think of a kind of “conclave of darkness.” According to this theory, the strange coins serve a sinister purpose, allowing the Guardians to bring about their own doom in their greed for better equipment. Like much in Destiny, we simply do not know.
All about Xur’s Offerings on Friday, May 1, until Sunday, May 3
When does Xur come and when does he leave again?

What do the numbers in parentheses mean?
These are the current values of this specific version of an exotic armor piece in Xur’s offering. The values can vary within certain limits; the higher, the better.
Which weapons and armor does Xur have this week?
This week, Xur sells the auto rifle “Hard Light” for 23 strange coins.
For Titans, he has the DLC gloves Ruins Wings (94/101) on offer.
Hunters can look forward to the DLC gloves “Don’t Touch Me” (grim 76/81) (or not).
Warlocks are blessed with the chest armor “Heart of Praxis Fire.” (135/145) For all armor pieces, Xur wants 13 strange coins.
Xur also has an exotic glove engram on offer.
Which weapons and armor can he upgrade? And should I do that?
Generally, one should probably not upgrade weapons and armor anymore at this moment. With the DLC “House of Wolves,” one needs exotic shards to upgrade to 365/42 – which are also currently needed to reach 331/36. So the question is not so relevant at the moment: Most players probably have already upgraded everything they really want.
It might be worth it if an armor piece had particularly good values. It seems like with the DLC, one can really upgrade the existing item. Currently, one is rather exchanging it. But information about this is still quite nebulous.
These are the armors Xur can upgrade this week
- For Hunters Weak Head Radar (94/101)
- and gloves “Ahamkara’s Spine” (93/99)
- For Titans the helm “An Unyielding Skullfort” (102/109)
- and the Wappen von Alpha Lupi (strong 150/161)
- For Warlocks the “Heart of Praxis Fire” (118/127)
- and the Voidfang Vestment (136/146)
These are the weapons Xur can upgrade this week
- The Fusion Rifle Infinity
- The Fusion Rifle Plan C
- The Shotgun Breachlight
- The Scout Rifle MIDA Multi-Tool
- The Pulse Rifle Red Death
- and the Pulse Rifle Bad Karma.
