Hey everyone, me and Mr/Mrs Xang Liao Yong will be doing this bi-weekly, so this week it's yours truly, next week it shall be Yang. Anyway, this week Xur has a few new items and is located in the North Tower across from the Speaker, but the question is are the new exoitcs worth buying? Let's see! Titan - Mk. 44 Stand Asides (Boots) Perks: Heavy Weapon Ammo - Possibly the best perk on these boots, but Ruin Wings do it far better. Not really that important otherwise. Be Somewhere Else - Raises the duration of Shoulder Charge. Unless you love Shoulder Charge religiously, no. Not that important. It's a shot addition anyway, you can't run across the Abyss and finally charge it. Rating - I give these boots a 3/10, they aren't worthy of their Exotic title and don't do anything all that useful besides give you three more seconds to run before charging at someone. Shoulder Charge is very weak anyway. Pass unless you need to complete your collection. Hunter - Mask of the Third Man (Helmet) Perks: Infusion - Heals you when you pick up Orbs of Light, can be helpful but only in certain situations, so not exactly a good start. Switchblade - Increased melee attack speed for a bladedancer? Yes. Perfect perk to compliment this helm's exotic ability. Unstable - Arc blade currents use less energy? This is THE Bladedancer helm to own, it is extremely helpful in situations where you use your super. Rating - I give MotTM a 9/10, it would be a perfect score if the stat roll wasn't so average and Infusion was something else, like increased melee charge speed or something. But either way, if you have or plan on making a Bladedancer, it needs this helm. Warlock - Apotheosis Veil Perks: Serpent's Tail - Reducing grenade cooldown for warlocks can be helpful, as most Warlock 'nades are very good, in this case, the perk applies well. Infusion - Replenishes health each time you grab an Orb, eh, like I said above, helpful in Crota Hard and mostly nothing else. Bad perk choice but it fits the helm. Private Reserves - Replenish health when you activate your super. Well, since you're pretty much unstoppable with your super equipped, this is kinda dumb. Poor choice. Rating - I give Apotheosis Veil a 5/10 based on it's appearance and the helpfulness in certain situations, but not many others. If you suck at keeping your health up, pick it up, if you're completing a collection or starting a new Warlock, sure, but for anything else, pass. Obsidian Mind is rumored to be sold next week anyway. Weapon - Hard Light My rating - Hard Light gets a 7/10, it's unstable, but if you're hitting targets, you're having fun and it has it's uses. It's no Suros or Red Death, but it's something. Helmet Engram Look for Helm of Saint 14, Obsidian Mind, Aclyophage, or even The Glasshouse. Good choices, pick one or two up if you have the motes. Upgrades - Hunter - Lucky Raspberry > MotTM (Higher roll) Titan - Crest of Alpha Lupi > Skullfort Warlock - Heart of the Praxic Fire > Skull of Dire Ahamkara Weapons - Gjallarhorn > Red Death > Truth = Patience and Time > Invective > Hard Light That's all ladies and gents, see ya two weeks from now!

Hey everyone, if you play Destiny, and wait patiently for Xur each week, I decided to try and help you out a bit and help myself out. Yaaaaay. Anyway, let's get down to what you should and should not buy. Where? Opposite Lord Shaxx near the Hall of Guardians, when you enter, look to the left. Exotic Mains Titan - Crest of Alpha Lupi 124/133 Intellect Crest of Alpha Lupi is a chest that you will make great use of in 3v3 modes where revival is necessary and strikes and nightfalls for quick revives, but aside from that, there isn't much use in buying it. It's a very specific chest for Medic titans who want to get their teammates up faster, and that's about it. If you have 13 strange coins lying around and want to act as the team's Medic, you'll have a lot of fun, if not, there's no need to pick it up. Especially since it has a painfully average stat roll for a chest. Hunter - Radiant Dance Machines 119/128 Strength Radiant Dance Machines have the good advantage of looking very style-ish and being a great addition to a Hunter aiming for max Agility, if you spec in Agility and have the MIDA, you'll love these boots. But, at the same time, they're not that worth wasting the exotic slot on. In my opinion, Don't Touch Me gauntlets are much more useful in the Abyss despite a bit less agility. If you want to spec really good into Agility and don't have DTM, buy them, you won't really regret it. Warlock - Voidfang Vestments HAVEN'T SEEN THESE ENOUGH XUR... Voidfang Vestments are very good if you are a fan of Axion Bolt, it is certainly not a bad exotic, however, Obsidian Mind is a better overall Voidwalker exotic and Voidfangs have been sold enough by now. If you have a good Voidwalker exotic, don't bother, if you have Obsidian Mind, DON'T BOTHER. However, if you're starting on a Voidwalker Warlock, you'll enjoy the chest. Exotic Sniper - No Land Beyond NO. Exotic Chest Engram I got a Heart of the Praxic Fire from this so if you have Motes, pick it up, unless you're really saving for Iron Banner. Exotic Upgrades Titans - Crest of Alpha Lupi > An Insurmountable Skulfort Warlocks - Voidfang Vestments > Sunbreakers Hunters - Aclyophage Symbiote > Knucklehead Radar Weapons - The Last Word > Plan C > MIDA Multi-Tool > Invective > Hard Light = Bad Juju > Monte Carlo With Iron Banner around now, The Last Word is a critical gun to use in PvP. Xur also has heavy ammo synths. BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY
