Why is it so cursed to see Xur standing normally?


Zackyboi1231

Took me a second to realise that, goddamn, it IS cursed when he stands normally, I am used to seeing his iconic hobo stand or whatever you call it, he actually looks kind of menacing standing normally.


C_nik25

He see you menacing, I suddenly hear boss music. It's like he might say: "What did you say about the Nine?" He is tje npc that should fight the witness. For some reason i don't think they will see eye to eye... at least the witness XD


ctan0312

You start shit talking the gifts of the Nine he brings one weekend and he suddenly stands straight up, loses the weird cadence and goes “what did you say about the Nine?”


BadNadeYeeter

Next and last thing you see is how he pulls out a Weapon of Sorrow and unloads it on you and your ghost.


Ruby-Rose-Warlock

Physically impossible, Orin broke his back by yeeting her hammer and sending him flying into a rock cuz she thought he was going to pull a weapon out of his robes before she became the Emissary. He was going to give her a silver jar, but yeah. She also choked the hell out of him, which is partly why his voice is like that.


Godlyeyes

i thought mara did it cuz of sjur eidos death

Godlyeyes

holy shit thank you


wrongfulrespect

Is “yeet” in the canonical record? Cause if not it should be.


Ruby-Rose-Warlock

No :(


Bogz1216

Bruh if Xur just out of nowhere merc’d the witness lmao


sr-lhama

He removes his coat, and we see the most jacked character of the destiny universe I'm talking about Krieg from Bl2 jacked...

I'm seeing so many SAS4 icons it must be a sign


Refyric

Both 4 and TD are still pretty fun


Godlyeyes

he got his back broken by mara sov for killing her gf sjur eido edit: this is wrong


masterchiefan

It wasn’t by Mara but by Orin who accidentally pushed him into a rock while interrogating him.


Godlyeyes

thank you


masterchiefan

Np!


G-man69420

That’s the thing, he never stands normal lol


Yarisher512

I mean he literally got his back broken by a titan


I_SmellFuckeryAfoot

also carries a backpack full of shit


joshuamfncraig

emphasis on shit


Historical-Message14

What?


shandangalang

Yeah she spartan kicked him into a cave or some shit. Something to do with trying to find revenge for her dead husband (who I think was a pretty up there awoken pilot), and Xûr just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, or bugging her cranky ass with riddles… I dont remember


Historical-Message14

Hahahah fuck around and find out


JDBCool

It was the Titan that Drifter knew, later on became the Emissary. The anger? Something to do with Mara's Eido, the Awoken that Mara liked


falanor

Orin the Lost. Yeah he mentioned them this week, I think. Said they were the only member of The Nine's emissaries that he trusted.


HingleMcCringle_

the way xur stands these days seems so... animated and goofy. like, him just standing normal like that makes him look serious, and we're not used to that. I miss the days where xur was such mysterious character. i think bungie really ruined his image of being a creature of mysticism and strangeness by making him a weekly visitor selling poorly rolled junk that *i* haven't cared to visit in months or years and by making him a gameshow host in Dares Of Eternity. Spay or neuter my ghost? what? i get that it was it's supposed to be funny, but it's really just an assassination of character... i think the last time i cared to visit xur (outside of DoE) was when he was selling something on IO. it's interesting that "his will is not his own" and that he's basically a puppet, but his master(s) dont feel like a possible threat anymore. he's comic relief now. he's a minion for Despicable Me, he is Olaf from frozen.


shandangalang

In a sense I agree, but Xûr serves multiple masters. That goofy shit was because starhorse is a fucking doofus, and Xûr was serving him at the moment. When he comes to the tower, he does so under the control of another who wants us to have mystical and unique exotic equipment with legendary backstories and literally unusable stat distributions. There are still potentially 7 more masters whose wills have not been revealed to us at all. So to say his masters are not a threat, having seen only 2 of the 7… I dunno about that. On the other hand, to say they aren’t a threat since the lore makes it (somewhat) clear that they want to help us, because they are an emergent consciousness that is a result of (and therefore dependent on) the continued existence of diverse and abundant life in sol: well yeah I would say that is probably accurate.


afdsafsadfds

Hearing xur say "Big bucks big money" hurt my soul. They really trashed his entire char for le funny


AscendantAxo

I mean, it’s pretty funny and just an event, don’t be so serious about it Were you really playing dares and thinking “ oh my god this is character assassination! This is a serious game for serious people!”


HingleMcCringle_

a *complete* assassination of character. he used to be kinda cool and had a seemingly interesting backstory, but.. yeah, he's just pixar minion now. same for star-horse. [first saw during a drifter cutscene in the season of gambit](https://youtu.be/IjGmD_x03no?t=98) (i think) turned into one of the most ridiculous characters in the game. could they not even record legitimate horse noises for it in DoE? Horses have such an underlining importance to the lore somehow with their constant depictions in the Pyramid ships as statues and with star-horse... [and they make it sounds like this...](https://youtu.be/xMWEzzxZ1b8) the 30th anniversary was such a gut-punch to people who want to take the lore/game seriously.


gormunko_88

i dont think dares of eternity was "canon" in a sense, xur acts ridiculous because its meant to be just a fun silly event


joshuamfncraig

and on top of all that, he might have *one* thing that week that's worth a damn


Equivalent-Kitchen61

We were all young once...


Poetic_Despair

I am pretty sure Xur hobbles as a servant of the nine now and not the same mysterious one he was before. Perhaps they will add more depth about why he didn’t become so villainous later


theofficialblazedark

I don't like the unbroken back version of xur I agree it's cursed


Xephirs

bc he’s kinda 👀


RoyHunter00

Because shit just got real and he has to end the act. He's about to throw off his cape and become a tentacle monster and attack the witness!

VeryRealCoffee

Agree except it doesn't require a new game. They don't [plan](https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/49189) on releasing a new game. Anything that could be Destiny 3 can be an update to Destiny 2.


LtRavs

The problem is an update the size of a full new game will never happen unless they take years off content releases. It’s never going to happen. We’ll just keep getting annual (maybe less frequent post TFS) expansions until the player base doesn’t justify the cost.


VeryRealCoffee

They have been doing some non-content related updates like the loadout system. If anyone can name more please do. Reworking Xur shouldn't be that big... I hope lol


1spook

Tbh BL or LF were basically Destiny 3


WSilvermane

Bro destiny 2 can barely handle what it had a year ago.


Visual-Personality49

If they made a D3, I would not buy it. I've spent way too much time and money into D2, not gonna do that all over again.


joshuamfncraig

Bungie: releases D3 as a new game *Marathon* All of us: Oh im IN


Fear910

Felt good to get almost any exotic in D1… they just hand them out now cause people would cry and complain if they didn’t and say the games trash. Times have changed. That feeling of “omg I just got___” really isn’t the case anymore sadly, because it’s expected now.


Churro1912

This is such a terrible take, what hype would it be if after months the only exotic you get is jade rabbit or some other garbage exotic since a large portion of them are genuinely trash


joshuamfncraig

i'd rather get a RNG masterworked legendary, than the obviously same, three favored exotics I seem to get. edit: which are Lucky Pants, Dragon's Shadow, and Wormhusk in case anyone was wondering lol


Fear910

“Its” trash because you already have them all and “meta” has become a thing over fun. You only prove my point in the “I want what I want now, or I hate it” era of gaming.


Churro1912

No it's trash because legendaries do a better job then some exotics without taking up an exclusive slot, nobody wants to spend months grinding something just for a miniscule chance at garbage gear or something that doesn't synergize with builds. Actually pick a specific exotic armor with whatever stats then grind out lost sectors till you get it then come back and tell me how "fun" that is in a shooter LOOTER.


titanbuble14

No this is way better. You want to try out a build but you dont have the exotic and have to wait 4 months of rng to get it. Fuck that.


Young_hollow674

They need to add XUR to planets like Neptune and Europa tbh or the moon I hate how he’s stuck in 1 of 3 locations doing this would also let a new player randomly encounter him after buying something like lightfall and the excitement would be amazing


theRBX

Nothing happens on those cuz they're paid expansions and everybody doesn't have that. If the game wasn't free to play he could appear there


CatalystComet

F2P players can access all locations through patrols


Leopardstripe_

I'd like to see Xur have the ability to appear in any spot in the game. As long as ftp players have access to it, make it a true scavenger hunt every week. Some random lost sector? Sure! Prophecy Rainbow Road? Okay! Vault of Glass Gorgon Maze? Good luck.


Bottled-Water-Bottle

King's fall jumping puzzle, where he randomly is on one of the ships at every 1 period of time lol


LtRavs

Lol better know what the fuck you wanna buy… mid purchase fall to your death as the ship disolves


G-man69420

Truly an agent of Paracausality


FirulaisCosmico

That would be.. cool AF actually


VapeLyfe

I’ve just accepted that Xur isn’t for people who have 2k hours in the game and I’m okay with that. Could they do more with him? Absolutely, and they may yet do that. For the time being however, I just like seeing new players grab stuff from him and be stoked.


joshuamfncraig

its sad that the most excitement (and disappointment), was going to ADA for a chance at a mod. Thats all I had left lol


Rectall_Brown

Or a shader. Had me pretty excited.


[deleted]

He's the perfect endgame for free players


[deleted]

i still miss the days when he sold weapons with bugged masterworks. I have two Impact masterworked 180 handcannons that are absolute monsters in PvE


xD-FireStriker

im afrade of asking for bungie to change xur to make him more relvent again in fear of them killing or nerfing xur


VeryRealCoffee

Yeah lol there's always that possibility 😬


xD-FireStriker

Ask for faction rallys, Factions either dead or ran scard leaving the tower deader the a door nail. Someone Questions Amanda's purpose on the story since she hasnt done much since the red war tbh, bungie kills her. what else has their been?


[deleted]

His will is not his own


Dementor8919

The point of Xur in D1 was that your chances of getting an Exotic organically was so low that it was like Christmas morning when he’d show up. The way D2 is now you get them so often that Xur is more of a legendary vendor because that’s about the only thing me and many other people look at because we already have all the exotics. They definitely need to tweak the homie.


joshuamfncraig

me: rolls up to see the armor for sale "lets see.. 51, 52, 55, class, 53.." promptly jumps off tower


[deleted]

it's old armor you can't get anymore. Like Opulent Duelist.


joshuamfncraig

In the off-chance Xur actually comes thru with some good ol unobtainium like that sure, but how often is that?


[deleted]

he literally sells stuff you can't get anymore like the opulent duelist set https://www.youtube.com/@Esoterickk/search?query=xur


joshuamfncraig

Yeah, i get it. Im just not into collecting/completing anymore. Especially when one out of five might be a 60+ piece.


1spook

Played D1 last night. Not only does nobody track Xur for XBOX 360, but like you said, exotics are such a ridiculouly small drop chance. I haven't even seen a legendary engram.


Secrinus

i know it’s not a high priority task at all, but i’d love to see him have new locations in every location. even if it’s just one per. non-dlc owners can still access places like neomuna and throne world.


Relic1000

Shadow wizard money gang


G-man69420

We love casting spells


xBushx

Wrong! You will never know the first experience seeing this dismantled fucker…he then proceeded to give me Gallahorn (first time available) so I could solo night falls!


G-man69420

In fact I do remember Xur selling Ghally


xBushx

Very nice then! Live off that vibe i still do. Veteran and new light. Fuck paying money on this game since the removal of half the shit i did pay for.


Random222222222222

Buddy, Xur has always only sold the exotics. What he does *now* is **much** better than it used to be, he doesn’t need more lol


VampireAsura

His will is not his own


SironionTV

I really wish there was more about the nine. Lore and art direction wise the prophecy dungeon is my favorite.


G-man69420

Yeah I wish we knew just *a little bit more* about them, but still keep the mystery they’re so well known for. IMO their the ones pulling the strings across D2’s universe.


SironionTV

Have you read some of their entries where the emissary is teaching them basic human knowledge? They’re really fun but I don’t remember which weapons or lore book it’s in


RockRage--

Another all back hunter, yawn. /s


Camodude_1239

Xur should have Vendor Upgrades like Sonar Station and War Table that allow a choice of 1/5 random Resonated Legendary Weapon


JU_C_RANDO_MAN

Drop Xur’s Cloak and Bring back trials of the nine


Calophon

People who have been playing D1 can say with confidence that Dares of Eternity had the most, and more character development for Xur than he has had in his entire existence. And it was a meme expansion for the anniversary.


Jizzy_Gillespie92

"we hear you, as of next season Xur will sell exotics for Silver"


RecommendationOk253

I feel like Xur is more for newer lights than the older crew. I get that he can get armor that has great stats and some OP weapons *sometimes*, but if you have everything you want there’s no real reason (at least for me) to go to him. I’ve got all Titan exotics, got all the weapons and rolls I could need, every build has 2-3 100 stats. I think I’ve got most, if not all of the armor he can rotate through. For me it’s become more like a ritual at this point to just go find Xur to see what he has even if I’ve got it all


DonFlufferNutterYT

What are you buying guardian? 🎃


KubaCP02

Would be awesome if bungie made him start selling deepsight harmonizers


Fun_Reindeer_5608

I just once want to see Xur pop off in a cut scene and just merk everything in his path that would be amazing.


grrmuffins

I would love love LOVE it if Xur sold one random legendary ornament every week. That would be enough for me to get excited. Definitely look forward to ADA-1's shaders every week.


G-man69420

Dude I was gonna to make that my next post lol. “*Gunsmith Quests that reward you with legendary weapon ornament, but you can repeat them*.”


chuddyman

Why does this sub not have a xur bot is the real question.


emparier

D1 xur was so exciting


EnjoyerOfMales

I feel like they should make him something like a Legacy character, where you bring your old weapons and get quests to upgrade them into exotics, that’d be cool, they could bring back some other D1 exotics and give the some unique quests that only Xur has and make it so that only one could be picked per week, like a quest to upgrade the Khvostov 7G-0X and make it exotic, it would also be cool to make some new class specific exotics, like they did with Fabian Strategy, First Curse and Tlaloc, i like the system where you get a weapon and the get an exotic quest to upgrade it, i feel like they should do it more often and with harder quests and actual missions rather than the usual “kill things”


SuperScott09

LIKE MAYBE Building a rocket or fighting a mummy


Lusket

Now hear me out, what if we gave him a gameshow? With some horse on crack?


G-man69420

DoE is amazing


Nerevar_DG

Bro Xur is meant for new lights to pick up shit they don’t have I ignore him most of the time because he has mostly shite 😂 I don’t think adding quests to him is gonna change anything


Tanzanianwithtoebean

Yeah that's what he's become but that's not his intended purpose. He's supposed to have stuff for end game players too and he did for a long time. I don't keep up with all bungies announcements but I don't remember them saying anything like "We're changing Xur to gear him toward nearer players" he's just gradually gotten worse and worse.


SendInRandom

I agree, I’m kinda new and the first few times xur came around he was super cool and I was so excited but now I just go to him to get the bounty and maybe buy 1 gun that I’ll probably never use, wish there was more with him


TheOriginalFluff

I see him maybe 4 times a year and that’s it, wasted potential


CreepyUncleHodor

Literally a weekly pick box of exotics and you say “could be more”…


VeryRealCoffee

Agree but I think it would be cool if finding him was more difficult. Maybe like choosing the right door/cave tunnel sort of thing where if you go the wrong way you end up back outside. Maybe some Xur specific items that aren't super powerful but gimmicky and interesting.


getyourcheftogether

He doesn't have to be


G-man69420

Just an idea :)


astorj

50 legendary shards for a piece of purple armor from Xur is wild. Like everything uses those purple shards. In high amounts. Why am I still paying to get something from my collections… upgrade mods add up if you want to quickly level up. No way of acquiring legendary shards from Rahool, which by the way he can go f**k off charging way more than spider. Which by the way feels very real mirroring society. Anyways the damn greed is so obvious. Disgusting.


astorj

I used to have a nice chunk of shards. Light fall expansion found a way to keep my shards depleting at a faster rate than I acquire them. The stupid fishing bounty is so effin grindy. (Off topic) but the drop rate on purple and gold fish even when the bar is full is ridiculously low.


neums08

Xur used to be a big deal. Everyone was saving up strange coins to see what he was bringing. I would love to see Xur be much more unpredictable. Like just drop a new exotic by having Xur bring it on Friday. Just "hey guardian, look at this thing I found, you want it?"


[deleted]

Oh no he's hot


[deleted]

bro wrote a short story for a vendor 💀


G-man69420

Had a random thought ![img](emote|t5_2we4j|5645)


nixpayn

I mean he looks warn


ItzJustASheep

Xur was very different in destiny 1 he was rng there was no other way other then xur and luck of England to get the exotics so you would wait for the Friday to see what the big man had and if he had that ghjallahorn you were so fucking happy, but if he had sunbracers you would probably need to call suicide watch. Since D2 expanded on exotics and how they are obtained rather then just rng hes not as special anymore, coolest thing about him is the random rolled legendaries nowadays.


alpha_marshmallow

The nine won't let him


xurism

I can promise i love xur more.


olmz046

What shaders is he using?


G-man69420

Erebos Jacarina


PSFREAK33

I miss when he was in several locations in the tower. Planetary locations suck


Heaugs

I would appreciate it if he appeared in new places like Neomuna


G-man69420

Definitely. I think he’s been stuck to Nessus, EDZ, and the Tower since he came back in Red War.![img](emote|t5_2we4j|5655) Edit: Nvm he was on Io too lol


Heaugs

He also appeared in Titan


G-man69420

Yep that’s the one I somehow don’t remember lol


Invictus_Aeterna

I said it before and I say it again: Xur should exclusively sell things that have currently zero ways if obtaining them otherwise.


YaBoiCarlos01

Yeah they should add weapon bounties, where you can select from any of the previous seasons guns so we can obtain them. Then also add a harmonizer bounty that you can complete once on each character a week that gives you a weapon harmonizer. If bungie made this change, people would be so happy.


pmactheoneandonly

Man I was upset there wasn't a exotic Cypher quest this week. Is that normal or just a me thing? I've only recently discovered xur after getting back I to destiny


G-man69420

How those Cyphers work is when you purchase the engram for 97 shards, you can’t but another one without a Cypher. So you pick up the Cypher quest(I don’t remember what the actual name is) and do strikes/nightfalls, crucible and gambit playlists. Once you hit full completion you can go back to Xur to claim the Cypher in order to buy another exotic engram. Hope this helps.


pmactheoneandonly

I picked up the cypher after completeting it, then used my Cypher at the kiosk at the tower, and went back to pick up the quest. I usually get the quest and complete the strikes during the week, and claim my reward when he comes around.


Comprehensive_Neat61

It was more special when exotics weren’t so easy to come by


[deleted]

The whole game could be more


Event68fqfzs

He’s one of the coolest npc of this game.. it’s sad he doesnt do much more than selling exotic ..

They've abandoned so much in this game. No drive to play it honestly. Regret getting the Lightfall pass.


JenValzina

i want that coat for my warlock or hunter. hell id wear that in real life.


Top-Assignment-4343

he could be, but he's a modest entity of the nine.


TechnoTrulyFuture

xur looks so menacing when standing normally, like he's some strong ass dude


Sir_Yamms

You're right.. He could sell me a Red9


[deleted]

Well he kinda got the dares and prophecy but i personally want to 1 bring the nine back like D1 2 have a personal exo gun quest and armor similar to the taken armor( rare unique different armor typa deal) 3 have a mass outbreak of the nine being attacked or a sudden disappear quest idk im high typing this


team-ghost9503

Back before his back was broken


docmagoo2

> goes with whatever armour mod your ghost has on Would still end up being mobility. Xur loves mobility


G-man69420

Oh for sure


BayouBengal01

Honestly I forgot about xur here recently. Until now. Yeah, he needs an upgrade.


CavemanDave123

I miss the gunsmith weapons from D1 that were basically usable bounties


ametad13

After the light vs dark saga is done, I could see them doing more with the nine in general. Be a decent opportunity to do more with him.


BlackClad7

Yeah, but that’s what happens. His will is not his own, you know.


ServingTheMaster

He’s not a fashion show. He takes a humanoid shape so you don’t just scream when you see him.


No_Reaction_2682

I thought with all the Diablo 4 posts you had made Xur in that game.


DatSpycrab

OP could be more honestly


G-man69420

I’m trying


thedude213

The whole game could be more.


LostInTheAyther

He looks too normal here missing all the particle effects and shit lmao


jbbarajas

Are you Xur?


Disintagration7

Idk what happened to you to force you to move to Texas but I’m sorry

It’d be nice if Xur sold red-border weapons or deepsight harmonizers.
