With the launch of The Taken King, Destiny’s Exotics dealer Xur is no longer the snake-faced Agent of the Nine he used to be.
Bungie has confirmed that Xur will no longer be a community loot drop, instead selecting either a specific Exotic Weapon or Exotic Engram to go on sale each week.
“This change is due primarily to our desire to give players more direct paths to acquiring the Exotics they want through Quests and gameplay experiences, and to avoid repetition in his inventory,” explains senior design lead Tyson Green.
Green adds: “Xur will also sell a new consumable, the Three of Coins, which gives bosses a chance to drop Exotic Engrams, including Weapon Engrams. These consumables have a cumulative luck effect, so even if one doesn’t net you a drop, the next one has a higher chance to do so.
“Lastly, Xur will also choose a Legacy Engram every week. These Engrams contain Year One Exotics (at Year One Attack and Defense levels) for players who want to finish up a Collection. They strongly bias towards Exotics not already in your Blueprint Collection, to help fill in the blank slots – excluding Mythoclast and Necrochasm, which are still only available from their Year One sources.”
Look out for Xur’s first appearance post-The Taken King later today.
