Destiny 2’s Xur is worth visiting again now he has better rollsWhere IS Xur?
Where IS Xur?
Every weekend, mysterious tentacle-faced merchant Xur pops up in a corner ofDestiny 2selling a selection of Exotic gear. For the past eight months, his stock has been a bit rubbish. He’s sold fixed armour rolls with bad stats, see, which are useful if you don’t have the item at all but worse than any random drop. Good news: Xur has started selling armour with new, better rolls, making him again worth visiting even if you have it all.
Xur has been selling fixed rolls since the launch of the Armour 2.0 system with Shadowkeep in October 2019. While his random Exotic Engram gives random rolls, his regular stock had the same stats as gear you pull from Collections - about 46-52 points in total. Now he’s selling some good stuff, up in the 60s. It’s not yet clear whether the rolls are random, and gear will have different stats each time he stocks it, or if he just has better fixed rolls. Either way, he’s worth visiting again. Please, please don’t be a bug.
The rolls aren’t super-amazing but they’re sure better than what he’s been selling. Maybe, one day, I’ll get the decent St0mp-EE5 roll which has eluded me. Somehow I’ve been stuck with a pair pulled from Collections for eight months, which pains me as a Hunter main.
A whole cottage industry has sprung up around answering the Googled search “Where is Xur?” so hey, you can consult sites likewhereisxur.comandwherethefuckisxur.comon future weekends.
In less good news this weekend, Trials Of Osiris has been temporarily disabled. Bungiesayit’s suffering “an issue where players are unable to visit the Lighthouse after completing a Flawless Trials Passage,” and they’re investigating. They previouslysaidthat Trials took so long to return because they didn’t the hardcore PvP mode to be “half-baked” but it’s hard not to see it that way.
Ido like Destiny 2’s new seasonso far, mind. I’m very keen to get into the new dungeon when all this notE3 calms down. And I’m glad the story is finally going somewhere, ahead ofthe next expansion, Beyond Light.
