Destiny - Xur's Gear And Upgrades For The Weekend Of April 3
Happy Xursday! This week, Bungie and Xur are trolling you. You see, the Agent of the Nine has a rocket launcher. It isn’t the one you want, though.
This week’s offerings are the weakest in a while, though the Hunter gauntlets on offer are useful in specific situations. Here’s the full rundown:
Location: Tower North. From the spawn point, turn left, go past Eris Morn and down the hallway. Xur is along the back against the railing by the Speaker Chamber.
Dragon's Breath (Rocket Launcher - The Dark Below) - 17 strange coins
The Glasshouse (Titan helmet, The Dark Below) - 13 strange coins
- Defense: 407/447
- Light: 30/36
- Intellect: 110/118
- Rain Blows (Increased melee speed)
- Quintessence Transfer (Replenish super energy when you kill an enemy with a grenade)
- Bathed in Light (Blessing of Light and Weapons of Light last longer)
Don't Touch Me (Hunter arms, The Dark Below) - 13 strange coins
- Defense: 333/366
- Light: 30/36
- Discipline: 77/83
- Special Weapon Loader (Increases the reload speed of all special weapons)
- Inverse Shadow (Increased super energy gained from killing minions of the darkness)
- Defensive Reflex (Taking damage from a melee attack makes you briefly invisible.)
Sunbreakers (Warlock arms) - 13 strange coins
- Defense: 333/366
- Light: 30/36
- Intellect: 79/85
- Special Weapon Loader (Increases the reload speed of all special weapons)
- Serpent's Tail (Causing melee damage reduces grenade cooldown)
- Helium Cycle (Increases duration of solar grenade)
As usual, he also has exotic shards (seven strange coins), the Urn of Sacrifice and bounty items (one strange coin), Sparrow upgrades (twenty-three strange coins), and telemetry for pulse rifles, fusion rifles, and rocket launchers (one strange coin). Exotic chest engrams will set you back 23 motes of light. Xur is carrying heavy ammo synth packs this week.
This week’s upgrade list includes the following:
- Aclyophage Symbiote (Hunter helmet)
- Lucky Raspberry (Hunter arms)
- Crest of Alpha Lupi (Titan chest)
- No Backup Plans (Titan arms)
- Apotheosis Veil (Warlock helmet)
- Sunbreakers (Warlock arms)
- Bad Juju (pulse rifle)
- MIDA Multi-Tool (scout rifle)
- Thorn (hand cannon)
- Patience and Time (sniper rifle)
- Thunderlord (machine gun)
- Super Good Advice (machine gun)
Also, as you may have heard, Nintendo has opened up DLC character requests for Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS. I present this without additional comment:
