Destiny - Xur's Gear And Upgrades For The Weekend Of January 2
It’s Friday, which means every Guardian’s favorite itinerant merchant is back in the Tower. Xur has with him some goodies for every class from The Dark Below expansion this week.
This week, Xur is hiding in the bowels of the Tower. Head through the hangar and down to the left. Keep descending and you’ll find him in the back of the bar (likely nursing a New Year’s hangover).
