"Destiny": Xur Location and Gear September 23-25

Destiny: Xur"s New Exotics & Ornaments - Tip: How To Level Up Fast With Xur (23/9/16) - (9/23/16)

(Bungie)

Now that Rise of Iron has been officially released upon the world its time for our old friend Xur to make his return, however, this week he brought something special for Warlocks. Xur is actually not located in the new hub world Iron Tower, due to that locking a lot of players out from actually going to see him. Instead, you can find Xur this week at The Reef so make sure to spawn there if you want to grab the new loot. When you load into this area take a right down the staircaseand you should see Xuron the lower level in one of the open side rooms.

This week he has brought some Rise of Iron loot for the Warlocks, along with some genuinely solid weapons and armor. In addition to his usual gear, you can also purchase two Weapon Ornaments from him for the price of 25 Silver Dust a piece. The two designs this week are Superspy for the Monte Carlo and Bureau of Aeronautics for the Khvostov 7G-0X. There is also a Legacy GauntletEngram in case you were looking to try and fill out your collection of Year 1 exotics.

Twilight Garrison

• Roll: Intellect/Discipline
• Armor: Chest Piece
• Cost: 13 Strange Coins
• Unique Perk: You can evade while in the air.

The Twilight Garrison is one of the best exotics for PvP minded players. Giving the Titan an ability to dodge out of the way is incredibly valuable and can certainly save your life. However, you can also use this special ability to close the gap between you and your enemies. Theres a lot of neat tricks you can pull off with this exotic in the Crucible so make sure to grab this if you dont own it. In terms of PvE there are better choices, as the dodge doesnt come into play nearly as much when fighting against the A.I.

Celestial Nighthawk

• Roll: Intellect/Strength
• Armor: Helmet
• Cost: 13 Strange Coins
• Unique Perk: Golden Gun fires one shot with 6x damage, while granting Keyhole for overpenetration.

Its like Bungie wants us to farm the Omnigul Strike for loot. This exoticis a fantastic choice for the PvE minded Guardian who is looking to add a bit more punch to their Golden Gun shot. While this ability never really factors into PvP, its a great pickup for those who like to use the Gunslinger class in Strikes or even the raids. It also should be noted that the Celestial Nighthawk is a must have for those looking to farm Omnigul for high-end loot.

TransversiveSteps

• Roll: Discipline/Strength
• Armor: Leg
• Cost: 13 Strange Coins
• Unique Perk: Faster movement speed while crouching. Ammo pickups automatically reload that weapon type.

This brand new exotic from Rise of Iron is certainlyinteresting, though its had to truly tell the breath of its capabilities since it just released. Yet, if you are a Warlock and looking to run the raid this weekend I would suggest grabbing these. Given we know one section has us running for our lives being able to auto reload your weapons could save you some precious seconds while on the move. I will be picking these up myself, so make sure to snag your own pair of fancy, glowing boots.

Monte Carlo

• Primary Weapon: Auto Rifle
• Cost: 23 Strange Coins
• Unique Perk: Dealing damage with this weapon reduces your melee cooldown and grants a chance to fully charge your melee with each kill.

If you are looking for a generally strong all around weapon look no further than the Monte Carlo. This is a very powerful gun for both PvE and PvP thanks to the benefit of constantly resetting your melee ability. If you run a very close quarters focused build such as a Voidwalker or Striker then this can help push your build over the edge. Plus, Xur is selling an Exotic Ornament for the gun so you can trick it out before taking it out into the field.

Its important to note that all of the gear from Xur will be sold at 350 Light, which means he can help rank you us if youre struggling. Even if you have these exotics, it might be worth buying one or two for the sake of infusing them into your current gear. Now get out there Guardians and good luck to all of those running the Wrath of the Machine raid today.

"Destiny": Xur"s Exotic Goods For Sept. 16, Tarantella Makes First Appearance

Destiny: XUR PRESENTA - Xur ANNO 3 + COME OTTENERE ACULEO Anno 3 ( #Destiny #Xur )

The final visit by Xr before the launch of Destiny: Rise of the King brings an Exotic piece of armor that has yet to be sold during Year Two. The ATS/8 Tarantella makes its first appearance for PlayStation and Xbox players and is joined by the Plan C.

This weekend, Xr can be found across from the Speaker in the Tower North. Simply head to the left when you first spawn in the Tower, and youll find him standing in front of a large, round door across from the speakers entrance. Heres where you can find him on the Tower map.

Xr and his items will only be available in Destiny through the morning of Sunday, September 11. He will be gone as soon as the clock strikes 5 a.m. ET/2 a.m. PT.

Exotic Gear on SaleCurios

For those wondering what to get, here are a few helpful hints.

Plan C[Image via Destiny]

Plan C is one of the better Fusion Rifles in the game due to its stability and quick charge time. Its a gimme during activities with Arc Burn active and is an excellent option in the Crucible. Its perks include bonus accuracy to hip fire, reduced charge time, and fast equip/charge time after swapping weapons.

No Backup Plans[Image via Bungie]

No Backup Plans has received a nice upgrade for Year Two, but its still a purely personal defense armor piece. The Force Multiplier perk is the signature item on the Gauntlets and triggers the Force Barrier with Shotgun kills, and the overshields duration is increased. This turns Defenders into a more aggressive sub-class in PVP and increases survivability in tight PVE encounters.

The optional Perks include Rain Blows and Impact Induction for a choice between faster melee speed or bonus grenade energy on melee hits. Theres also a choice between faster Shotgun or Rocket Launcher reloads.

The put 65 Strength stat roll is very average for No Backup Plans. Consider re-rolling to shoot for a higher pure Strength stat or a balanced split stat roll if needed.

ATS/8 Tarantella

The ATS/8 Tarantella is for Hunter Bladedancers in Destiny. The namesake intrinsic perk provides reduces Arc damage from PVE enemies plus Arc Grenades and Arc Blade recharge faster. A great piece for Bladedancers, especially with the buffs they received in the 2.4.0 update. Meanwhile, it also comes with perks to carry more Auto Rifle or Fusion Rifle ammo plus either more defense against Arc Burn or increased armor when playing Bladedancer.

The split 65 Intellect and 62 Discipline stat roll is okay for this piece. There isnt much flexibility with changing this piece via Glass Needles, so only consider re-rolling for different ammo bonuses.

Heart of the Praxic Fire[Image via Destiny]

Heart of the Praxic Fire is to Sunsinger Warlocks what Obsidian Mind is to Voidwalker Warlocks. Its Praise the Sun perk decreases all cooldowns while the Radiance Super is active. This turns Sunbros into grenade-chucking and orb-generating machines. It also comes with perks to carry more Pulse Rifle or Sidearm ammo. It also has the option for better Solar Burn Defense or increased Solar Armor as a Sunsinger.

The 64 Intellect / 64 Discipline stat roll is solid for this chest armor. Not much reason to re-roll unless you want different ammo bonuses.
