Destiny 2
Bungie
Xur has been fixed by Bungie and now he’s selling exotic and legendary armor that have actual non-trash stats again. But that’s not why you should log in and buy something from him this weekend. Rather, he’s selling an exotic weapon you need to purchase.
No, not Queenbreaker, which is the main weapon on page one, but Xur has been selling random rolls of both Hawkmoon and Dead Man’s Tale now that both can no longer be farmed from their vaulted year 4 missions. Today, it’s the Dead Man’s Tale you need to take a look at on page 2, as it’s probably the best roll he’s sold so far, depending on who you ask. Xur is in the Tower Hangar, by the way.
The roll is:
- Fluted Barrel – Handling+++, Stability+
- Ricochet Rounds – Stability++, Range+
- Composite Stock – Stability+, Handling+
- Vorpal Weapon – Better damage against bosses and Guardians in their supers

This roll with all its stability and handling improvements just make it feel a lot better to use. I’ve heard some people say that a Vorpal roll he sold a while ago with Extended Barrel, Steady Rounds and Fitted Stock was better, but it comes down to preference, and I’m not sure range is that worthwhile on a scout over other options. I really do think you will like the handling and stability focused roll.
The catch here is that Xur’s randomly rolled exotics cost extra over his normal ones. You need to spend both an Ascendant Shard, the endgame masterworking currency, and an Exotic Cipher, which you may have laying around already, but if not, you have to do a playlist activity quest from Xur himself to get one. Plus 125,000 Glimmer and 200 Legendary shards. Yeah, this ain’t cheap. But keep in mind you’re getting yourself a god roll that you previously may not have found after a hundred Presage runs.
I already have one with Vorpal, Composite and Ricochet, but mine has Corkscrew instead of Fluted. For me, probably not worth spending all that just to get Fluted, but I mean, I’m considering it.
While you’re at Xur, anything else worth picking up? 26 intellect, 64 stat legendary arms on my Titan, but other than that, I’m not seeing anything that really jumps out at me this week. I saw another 48 stat armor slip in there, so I’m not sure Xur is fully fixed just yet. In any case, try to grab that Dead Man’s Tale if you can afford it.
