It’s Xur day, Destiny fans!
For the second time in 2016, every Destiny player’s favorite exotic item vendor has returned to the Tower, complete with a new batch of equipment to sell anyone still playing Destiny on a regular basis. Of course, Xur’s arrival isn’t exactly going to be a shock for those of us who’ve been playing Destiny since the very beginning. After all, the Agent of the Nine has been making weekly appearances for just fewer than 16 months now. But that doesn’t mean Xur’s latest visit will be any less exciting for those still new to the Destiny community. And, coming out of a holiday season that saw the Rocket League community grow by roughly two million people, we suspect that applies to a few Destiny players.
This week, Xur can be found standing in Tower North
Last week, Xur’s inventory was a bit of a mixed bag. Rather than ring in the new year with a whole set of highly sought after items, the Agent of the Nine arrived with a new stock of Empyrean Bellicose and Starfire Protocol; two items we’ve seen countless times over the last year-plus. Xur also brought Sealed Ahamkara Grasps and Invective available, though. And those items more than made up for the repeats in the eyes of many Destiny players. But what will the Agent of the Nine have for sale this week?
Here’s everything Xur is selling to the Destiny community January 8-10:
