Destiny - Xur's Gear And Upgrades For The Weekend Of May 1

by Mike Futter on Apr 30, 2015 at 11:20 PM

Happy Xursday, everyone! The Agent of the Nine is back in the Tower, and he is having a sale on gauntlets. Everything must go (which is tricky because his stock on this items is infinite).

This week, Xur is packing one of the game's exotic auto rifles. So, if you're looking for a new primary, you might be in luck.

Location: Xur is hanging out in the Vanguard chamber. From the spawn point, run straight ahead, down the stairs, past the Crucible Quartermaster, and then bear right around the catwalk when you enter the chamber.

Hard Light (exotic auto rifle) - 23 strange coins

  • Kinetic Damage
  • Attack: 302/331
  • Glass Half Full (The bottom half of each magazine causes additional damage)
  • Volatile Light (Rounds fired from this weapon overpenetrate targets and ricochet on hard surfaces)

Ruin WIngs (Titan arms, The Dark Below) - 13 strange coins

  • Defense: 333/366
  • Light: 30/36
  • Strength: 94/101
  • Special Weapon Loader (Increases the reload speed of all special weapons)
  • Impact Induction (Causing damage with a melee reduces your grenade cooldown)

  • Defense: 333/366
  • Light: 30/36
  • Discipline: 76/81
  • 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.)

Heart of the Praxic Fire (Warlock chest) - 13 strange coins

  • Defense: 444/488
  • Light: 30/36
  • Discipline: 135/145
  • 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)
  • Praise the Sun (Further decreases all ability cooldowns when Radiance is active)

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, hand cannons, and machine guns (one strange coin), and heavy ammo synth packs. Exotic gauntlet engrams will set you back 23 motes of light.
