It’s Friday! But more importantly, it’s Xursday. Yes sir, the merchant of exotic goods has arrived to claim your odd coins.

PlayStation gamers receive access to a host of additional content for The Taken King, including a Strike, a Crucible map, three sets of armour and an exotic weapon, timed exclusive until at least autumn 2016. However, the vendor is going to be switching up his selling tactics when it comes to Year 2 of Destiny.
“In Year One, Xûr was a community ‘loot drop, ‘ a shared rallying point that everyone could cheer or curse”.
“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.

Based on Bungie’s description posted on the Xbox One United Kingdom website, the Three of Coins is known as a “stackable effect that increases the chances the next Ultra you defeat will drop an Exotic Engram”. Legacy Engrams feature a smart curation system created to fill in the blanks in your collection. Xur now sells Legacy Engrams, which will decode into the year one versions (170 attack) of year one exotics. You’re number one on his “To Kill” list, thanks to the fact that you and your friends disposed of his son Crota in the last raid (in fairness, he really was asking for it). They remind me a little of the Flood in Halo, with their erratic movements and zombie-like qualities, although they thankfully don’t look as gross.
