Destiny - Xur's Gear And Upgrades For The Weekend Of January 23

by Mike Futter on Jan 23, 2015 at 12:09 AM

Happy Xursday, everyone! We have some good news and bad news this week. Finally, Xur has exotic engrams again. You can roll the dice with your motes of light on helmets.

Now for the bad news. This week's exotic weapon is the polar opposite of last week's Ice Breaker bounty. No Land Beyond, an exotic sniper rifle that can be equipped in the primary spot, just isn't very good. Also, Warlocks, in case you missed the Starfire Protocol the two or three other times it was on sale, you have yet another chance.

No Land Beyond (exotic sniper rifle) - 17 strange coins

  • Kinetic
  • Attack: 302/331
  • Mulligan (Missing a shot has a chance to return ammo directly to the magazine)
  • The Master (Increased precision damage. Kills briefly increase damage against next target.)
Mk. 44 Stand Asides (Titan legs, The Dark Below) - 13 strange coins
  • Defense: 296/325
  • Light: 30/36
  • Heavy Weapon Ammo (Increased capacity)
  • Be Somewhere Else (Increases the duration Shoulder Charge remains active) 

Radiant Dance Machines (Hunter legs, The Dark Below) - 13 strange coins

  • Defense: 296/325
  • Light: 30/36
  • Heavy Weapon Ammo (Increased capacity)
  • The Dance (You move more quickly while aiming your weapon.)

Starfire Protocol (Warlock chest armor, The Dark Below) - 13 strange coins

  • Defense: 444/488
  • Light: 30/36
  • Fusion Rifle Ammo (increase capacity)
  • Heavy Weapon Ammo (increase capacity)
  • Starfire Protocol (gain an extra fusion grenade)

As usual, he also has exotic shards (seven strange coins), the Urn of Sacrifice (one strange coin), Sparrow upgrades (twenty-three strange coins), and telemetry for shotguns, machine guns, and rocket launchers (one strange coin). There is no heavy ammo synthesis this week. The engrams will cost you 23 motes of light.

This week’s upgrade list includes the following:

  • Knucklehead Radar (Hunter helmet)
  • Achlyophage Symbiote (Hunter helmet)
  • Helm of Inmost Light (Titan helmet)
  • Crest of Alpha Lupi (Titan chest)
  • No Backup Plans (Titan arms)
  • Light Beyond Nemesis (Warlock helmet)
  • Sunbreakers (Warlock arms)
  • Bad Juju (pulse rifle)
  • Invective (shotgun)
  • Universal Remote (shotgun)
  • Thunderlord (machine gun)
  • Gjallarhorn (rocket launcher)
  • Truth (rocket launcher)
  • Hawkmoon (hand cannon)
