The stock of Destiny 2’s weirdest shopkeep, the squid-faced weekend vendor Xur, is about to alter as soon as once more. Beginning with an August 20 replace, Xur’s Exotics-focused stock may also embrace the brand new Exotic class merchandise accessible in The Ultimate Form growth, which implies it will now be a bit of simpler to get new rolls of the piece of substances to fill out your loadouts.
The primary time Xur exhibits up after the replace, on August 26, he is assured to inventory the Exotic class merchandise, Bungie stated.
Bungie introduced the change in its newest This Week in Destiny blog post, which offers some extra particulars. You can buy an Exotic class merchandise from Xur for 41 Unusual Cash, which is a reasonably important haul of the forex, and it will characteristic a random mixture of perks. Nonetheless, Xur is not assured to hold the category merchandise every week; his stock is randomized, so you may need to pop in every weekend to see what he is carrying (or, after all, you possibly can learn our weekly Xur information).
The adjustment is a part of Replace 8.0.5.2 and can tweak Xur’s stock to maneuver the “Wildcard” merchandise he offers–which has featured issues like Exotic Ciphers and Ritual engrams–to a distinct a part of the menu. The slot in his stock that was beforehand occupied by the Wildcard merchandise will now characteristic both an Exotic class merchandise or an Exotic Cipher. So it feels like, whereas Xur is not assured to supply the Exotic class merchandise every week, the possibilities that he’ll have one are nonetheless fairly good. That does not assure the category merchandise itself shall be good, although, as each options two random Exotic perks. However Xur carrying the merchandise means gamers can have one other likelihood to get what they’re in search of.
The necessities to unlock the Exotic class merchandise do not change simply because Xur is providing it, although. You continue to want to finish the Twin Destiny mission within the Pale Coronary heart of the Traveler, the brand new location in The Ultimate Form, to realize entry to it. As soon as you’ve got performed that, you may obtain your first Exotic class merchandise with a random mixture of two Exotic perks, and it will turn into attainable to get new ones with totally different mixtures from any chest within the Pale Coronary heart, amongst different sources.
The Exotic class merchandise is just about one of the best piece of substances in The Ultimate Form, and gamers have been clamoring for brand spanking new methods to get extra of them as they seek for nice perk mixtures for various builds. Since these perks are random, it is an merchandise gamers have needed to farm, and that has led to some frustration locally with low drop charges.
Bungie not too long ago tried to extend the drop charge on the category merchandise in Replace 8.0.5 by including a form of unhealthy luck safety to the Pale Coronary heart’s main exercise, Overthrow. The thought was that every time you full an Overthrow occasion, your probabilities of incomes an Exotic class merchandise from the chest on the finish improve (a lot of the different chests within the Pale Coronary heart stay unaffected, although). Nonetheless, it appears the replace did not work appropriately, since gamers have reported the drop charge on the Exotic class merchandise has plummeted, relatively than elevated, since Replace 8.0.5. The change to Xur ought to at the very least alleviate {that a} tiny bit, sometimes, on sure days of the week.
