Destiny - Xur's Gear And Upgrades For The Weekend Of March 13

by Mike Futter on Mar 13, 2015 at 12:33 AM

Happy Xursday, everyone! I hope you've been saving your Strange Coins, because Xur has some gear you might want this week (and I'm not just talking about heavy synth packs).

For the first time in a while, he's carrying a primary weapon. You might want to jump on that. Here's the full rundown of where he is and what he has:

Location: Vanguard room - From the spawn point, run straight ahead, down the stairs, past the crucible reps and into the Vanguard war room. He's on the right side.

Red Death (exotic pulse rifle) - 23 strange coins

  • Kinetic Damage
  • Attack: 302/331
  • Unflinching (It’s easier to aim under fire using this weapon)
  • Red Death (Each kill heals you and speeds up reloads)

An Insurmountable Skull Fort (Titan helmet) - 13 strange coins

  • Defense: 407/447
  • Light: 30/36
  • Discipline: 101/108
  • Infusion (Replenish health when you pick up an orb)
  • Impact Induction (Causing damage with a melee reduces your grenade cooldown)
  • Improved Transfusion (Kills with Storm Fist immediately trigger health regeneration. You also spawn with full melee energy)

Knucklehead Radar (Hunter helmet) - 13 strange coins

  • Defense: 407/447
  • Light: 30/36
  • Strength: 98/105
  • Light the Blade (Causing damage with a grenade reduces your melee cooldown)
  • Inverse Shadow (Increased super energy gained from killing minions of the darkness)
  • Sensor Pack (Radar remains visible while aiming primary weapons)

Claws of Ahamkara (Warlock arms - The Dark Below) - 13 strange coins

  • Defense: 333/366
  • Light: 30/36
  • Discipline: 52/55
  • Strength: 56/60
  • Special Weapon Loader (Increases the reload speed of all special weapons)
  • Snap Discharge (Increased melee speed)
  • The Whispers (Gain an additional charge for Scorch and Energy Drain)

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 scout rifles, machine guns, and rocket launchers (one strange coin). Exotic helmet 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:

  • Mask of the Third Man (Hunter helmet)
  • Lucky Raspberry (Hunter chest)
  • Helm of Saint-14 (Titan helmet)
  • Helm of Inmost Light (Titan helmet)
  • Light Beyond Nemesis (Warlock helmet)
  • Sunbreakers (Warlock arms)
  • Hard Light (auto rifle)
  • Red Death (pulse rifle)
  • Universal Remote (shotgun)
  • Plan C (fusion rifle)
  • Patience and Time (sniper rifle)
  • Truth (rocket launcher)
