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, just off to the right after the very first staircase you walk down in the area. 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 gold weapons from the pre-expansion game, and an Exotic Gauntlet Engram. Here's the gear on sale this weekend, which has one of the same items from last week:
Titan Armor: The Glasshouse Helmet
Hunter Armor: Don't Touch Me Gauntlets
Warlock Armor: Sunbreakers Gauntlets
Exotic Weapon: Plan C Fusion 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: Achlyophage Symbiote, Crest of Alpha Lupi (Hunter), An Insurmountable Skullfort, No Backup Plans, Skull of Dire Ahamkara, Light Beyond Nemesis, Hard Light, SUROS Regime, Mida ulti-Tool, Thorn, Ice Breaker, and Super Good Advice.
