Every weekend, mysterious tentacle-faced service provider Xur pops up in a nook of Destiny 2 promoting a choice of Exotic gear. For the previous eight months, his inventory has been a bit garbage. He’s bought fastened armour rolls with dangerous stats, see, that are helpful for those who don’t have the merchandise in any respect however worse than any random drop. Good information: Xur has began promoting armour with new, higher rolls, making him once more price visiting even if in case you have all of it.
Xur has been promoting fastened rolls for the reason that launch of the Armour 2.zero system with Shadowkeep in October 2019. While his random Exotic Engram offers random rolls, his common inventory had the identical stats as gear you pull from Collections – about 46-52 factors in complete. Now he’s promoting some great things, up within the 60s. It’s not but clear whether or not the rolls are random, and kit could have totally different stats every time he shares it, or if he simply has higher fastened rolls. Either manner, he’s price visiting once more. Please, please don’t be a bug.
This week, you’ll discover Xur on Calus’s barge in Watcher’s Grave on Nessus. Hunters can seize a 62-total Raiden Flux, the chestpiece which boosts Arc Staff’s harm and period on speedy successive hits. Titans get a 62 roll (together with 20 Recovery) on Synthoceps, the arms inhabited by symbiotic organisms which buff melee vary and harm and provide you with alarming glowing veins. And Warlocks can get 60 stats on Promethium Spur, the trousers which spawn Healing and Empowering Rifts underneath enemies killed by Daybreak. Promethiums are a little bit of a novelty however Raiden Flux is strong for those who use Arc Staff and Synthoceps are a great impartial Exotic choose for Titans.
The rolls aren’t super-amazing however they’re positive higher than what he’s been promoting. Maybe, sooner or later, I’ll get the respectable St0mp-EE5 roll which has eluded me. Somehow I’ve been caught with a pair pulled from Collections for eight months, which pains me as a Hunter predominant.
An entire cottage trade has sprung up round answering the Googled search “Where is Xur?” so hey, you’ll be able to seek the advice of websites like whereisxur.com and wherethefuckisxur.com on future weekends.
In much less excellent news this weekend, Trials Of Osiris has been quickly disabled. Bungie say it’s struggling “an issue where players are unable to visit the Lighthouse after completing a Flawless Trials Passage,” and so they’re investigating. They beforehand said that Trials took so lengthy to return as a result of they didn’t the hardcore PvP mode to be “half-baked” however it’s arduous to not see it that manner.
I do like Destiny 2’s new season up to now, thoughts. I’m very eager to get into the brand new dungeon when all this notE3 calms down. And I’m glad the story is lastly going someplace, forward of the next expansion, Beyond Light.
