Destiny - Xur's Gear And Upgrades For The Weekend Of February 27

by Mike Futter on Feb 26, 2015 at 10:25 PM

Happy Xursday, everyone! This is the first time Xur is back in the tower following a patch that fixes the longstanding heavy ammo bug and... he doesn't have any heavy ammo packs with him.

The Agent of the Nine does have engrams though, so if Motes of Light have been burning a hole in your pocket, you're in luck. Oh, and if you find yourself in front of Xur and realize that your strange coins are spread among your characters, you can save yourself time. A major update to the companion app lets you access other characters and the vault from anywhere.

Location: Tower North - From the spawn point, turn left, walk past Eris Morn, and head toward The Speaker. He's by the railing on the far side.

Universal Remote (exotic shotgun) - 17 strange coins

Kinetic Damage
Attack: 302/331
Crowd Control (Kills with this weapon grant bonus damage for a short time)
Universal Remote (Range and precision damage increases greatly while aiming down the sights)

Light: 30/36
Strength: 89/96

Discipline: 129/139
Fusion Rifle Ammo (Increases the amount of fusion rifle ammo you can carry)
Heavy Weapon Ammo (Increases the amount of heavy weapon ammo you can carry)

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 fusion rifles, sniper rifles, and machine guns (one strange coin).
