Greetings, Guardians! Hope you’re doing well. Xur is at the EDZ this week; read on to see what he has.
This week, for 29 Legendary Shards, Xur carries:
Fighting Lion
Xur’s weapon this week is the Exotic Grenade Launcher, Fighting Lion. It’s a strange one, but if you take some time to learn its intricacies, you may well be rewarded for your efforts. The Lion’s Exotic perk, Delayed Gratification, allows you to bounce shots off of surfaces, only exploding when you release the trigger. Pair that with Thin the Herd, which rewards direct hits with extra shield damage and Primary Ammo on kill, and you’ve got a fun, if niche, weapon.
And for 23 Legendary Shards, Xur offers:
Aeon Soul
The Aeon Exotics are all a bit strange, as instead of having an Exotic Perk, they have a slot for special Mods that give you and your Aeon-equipped Fireteam some interesting buffs. They’re not nearly as bad as they used to be, so now’s the time to give them a try.
Graviton Forfeit
Graviton Forfeit is an Exotic Hunter Helmet that helps you sneak up on foes. Vanishing Shadow, its Exotic Perk, raises the duration of effects that make you invisible, and recharges your Melee ability quicker while you’re harder to see. If that sounds like your jam, pick it up.
Synthoceps
They’re mean, they’re green, and they may have a mind of their own. The Synthoceps are a set of Titan arms whose Biotic Enhancements make a Titan’s favorite activities — punching things and firing Supers — even better. The Enhancements give approximately 50% more melee range intrinsically, but when surrounded by three or more enemies, they gear up and give damage bonuses to melees and Supers.
Xur also carries an Exotic Engram, providing a random piece of Exotic armor for 97 Legendary Shards, along with the Exotic Quest “The Question.”
The Witch Queen DLC added Legendary weapons and armor to Xur’s weekly drops, at 50 Legendary Shards and 1000 Glimmer per item. They are:
- Main Ingredient (Fusion Rifle)
- Wishbringer (Energy Shotgun)
- Night Watch (Scout Rifle)
- Seventh Seraph SI-2 (Energy Sidearm)
- Jian 7 Rifle (Energy Pulse Rifle)
- THE SWARM (Heavy Machine Gun)
- Shattered Cipher (Heavy Machine Gun)
- Ancient Apocalypse set [Head, Arms, Torso, Legs, Cloak] (Hunter)
