The weekend has arrived, meaning mysterious Destiny merchant Xûr is back, as well. The vendor is the only one in the game to sell exotic weapons, and every week is different than the last.
Our Guide To Destiny's Best Exotic Weapons
This week Xûr is in the Tower Hangar, all the way at the back down as many stair cases as you can go. He's in a new location from one week to the next, and his stock differs every time. Xûr appears on Friday (4 a.m. Eastern) and departs overnight between Saturday and Sunday.
The Best Legendary Weapons In Destiny Across Each Gun Type
Xûr always sells three exotic armor pieces--one for each class--and an exotic weapon. Since The Dark Below's release, Xûr also offers an Exotic Shard, which is needed to upgrade Exotic weapons to their final tier. Here's the gear on sale this weekend, which brings back one of the game's most coveted weapons:
Titan Armor: Helm Of Inmost Light
Hunter Armor: Crest Of Alpha Lupi Chest Armor
Warlock Armor: Light Beyond Nemesis Helmet
Exotic Weapon: Ice Breaker Sniper Rifle
In post-The Dark Below Destiny, Xûr has a selection of items to upgrade in addition to his normal wares--the new list you see in his inventory is not simply gear for sale. You need the original weapon or armor piece to trade in for an upgrade, an Exotic Shard, and some Glimmer--this is meant to keep original exotics gained before the expansion relevant and up to par with the new gear.
These are the exotic weapons and armor available for upgrade: Knucklehead Radar, Crest Of Alpha Lupi (Hunter), Helm Of Inmost Light, Crest Of Alpha Lupi (Titan). Apotheosis Veil, Sunbreakers, The Last Word, Ice Breaker, Patience And Time, Super Good Advice, Gjallarhorn, Truth.
