It’s Xur day, Destiny fans!
This week, Xur can be found standing in the Hall of Guardians, near the Vanguards.
With each passing week, the number of active Destiny players decreases a bit more. It’s no fault of the game or its design team. Just the natural reaction to a spring brimming with top-quality games and the long-awaited confirmation that Destiny 2 will arrive this fall. But not everyone is ready to turn their backs on Bungie’s shared-world shooter quite yet. Some are sticking around to finish their exotic equipment collections, padding it out with the new gear being dropped in Destiny’s refreshed raids, while others see no reason to abandon the original until its sequel arrives. And some of us just don’t know how to program our bodies to stop waking up in the early hours of Friday morning, just to see what Xur has for sale. It’s probably not the world’s greatest habit. But you can probably think of a few more destructive ones, too.
Last week, Xur’s inventory was sort of a mixed bag. There can’t be many players left who would still get excited about the opportunity to buy Knucklehead Radar, since its been available for almost three years now, and the same can be said for Obsidian Mind. But we did see a bit of excitement about the community’s latest opportunity to purchase Trespasser, the exotic sidearm that debuted in Rise of Iron, and there are probably a few fans who relished the opportunity to add the Immolation Fists to their collection as well. And we haven’t seen any complaints about the recent influx of weapon ornaments on the Agent of the Nine’s inventory sheets. Now we just have to hope this week’s offering compares favorably to the rest of Xur’s recent sales.
Here’s everything Xur is selling to Destiny fans May 5-7:

There are also some new additions to Xur's inventory sheet this week: weapon bundles. Destiny players can purchase Monte Carlo, with the Royal Flush ornament, or Zhalo Supercell, with the Shock Hazard ornament, in exchange for 30 Strange Coins. The Agent of the Nine has plenty of other goodies for Destiny players to spend their Strange Coins, too. In addition to the exotic wares, Xur is also selling a handful of other curios, including Three of Coins stacks! And Destiny players will also find the usual legendary Sparrows upgrades, with green and blue contrails available this week, along with Motes of Light, Heavy Ammo Synthesis (in stacks of three and 10) and Glass Needles.
Destiny: Rise of Iron is currently available on PS4 and Xbox One.
