It’s a new weekend, which means that Xûr has a host of new offerings available to spend your Strange Coins on. As with every week, Xûr will have a host of different rewards from his Strange Loot pool, available for you to purchase from.
Our weekly Xûr report is here for you to ensure that you know exactly when you need to run over to the Bazaar and grab an item as quickly as possible, to make sure that you don’t miss out on anything spicy that he may have for you.
Tl;DR
Xûr’s offerings this week are pretty mediocre, with some great highlights but mostly nothing to write home about. The most important pickup will be grabbing The Queenbreaker if you haven’t already, due to its potency as a DPS option.
There is a nice armor set in the Opulent Scholar set, but that’s mainly cosmetic, and the Exotic armor that’s available is nice to have, but nothing extremely essential (other than ST0MP-EE5 if you want to play PvP).
Multivarious Strange Offers
Catalysts
Fighting Lion Catalyst
Cost: 71 Strange Coins
Description: After this weapon fires, equipped Kinetic and Power weapons gain a brief period of increased handling and accuracy.
Rating:⭐
Fighting Lion is an incredibly weak weapon, and so there’s not much to write home about here.
Jötunn Catalyst
Cost: 71 Strange Coins
Description: After this weapon fires, equipped Kinetic and Power weapons gain a brief period of increased handling and accuracy.
Rating: ⭐
Jötunn is a meme, and isn’t very useable whatsoever, so the catalyst isn’t really that vital unless you really need it.
Exotic Armor
ST0MP-EE5
Cost: 41 Strange Coins
Exotic Perk: Hydraulic Boosters: Increases sprint speed and slide distance, and improves High Jump, Strafe Jump, and Triple Jump. Take less damage from targets when airborne.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you want to play PvP, pick these up. They’re the best all-arounder for PvP Hunter and essential, if you don’t already have them. The roll has a weird distribution, but it’s not very important.
Actium War Rig
Cost: 41 Strange Coins
Exotic Perk: Auto-Loading Link Steadily reloads a portion of your equipped Auto Rifle's or Machine Gun's magazine from reserves. Provides a moderate benefit to the airborne effectiveness stat of Auto Rifles and Machine Guns.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Actium War Rig is a decent option if you want to run a Sweet Business Titan build, but it is generally nowhere near the top-end of the metagame. Still worth picking up if you want it, though.
Apotheosis Veil
Cost: 41 Strange Coins
Exotic Perk: Insatiable: Immediately regenerate health, melee, grenade, and Rift energy for you and your nearby allies upon activating your Super. After your Super ends, temporarily gain greatly increased melee and grenade regen.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Apotheosis Veil has some interesting and potent DPS options, especially combined with Strand and Euphony. But, this is ultimately better used on an Exotic class item.
Exotic Class Item
Cost: 41 Strange Coins
Xur has an exotic class item for sale for 41 Strange Coins, and so it’s worth using this if you need them.
Strange Gear Offers
Exotic Weapons
Cost: 23 Strange Coins
For further explanations as to whether these weapons are good or not (other than Hawkmoon), please check out our PvE Exotic Tier List.
Hawkmoon
Cost: 23 Strange Coins
Roll: Heavy Grip + Opening Shot
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
As far as Hawkmoon goes, this is on the high end of rolls and worth getting your hands on.
The Jade Rabbit
Rating: ⭐
Fighting Lion
Rating: ⭐
The Queenbreaker
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Legendary Weapons
No Reprieve
Roll: Feeding Frenzy + Surrounded
Rating: ⭐⭐
No Reprieve isn’t a great shotgun, but it’s a decent roll if you’re looking for an ad-clear Shotgun (which is suboptimal). Surrounded is fine for DPS scenarios, but Feeding Frenzy is more for ad-clear.
Blood Feud
Roll: Ambitious Assassin + Focused Fury
Rating: ⭐
Blood Feud isn’t great, nor is this roll.
Seventh Seraph SI-2
Roll: Hip-Fire Grip + Dragonfly
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Not a great sidearm, but Dragonfly is useable. Wasted third-column perk, though.
The Eremite
Roll: Heal Clip + Reservoir Burst
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Reservoir Burst is good on The Eremite, but Heal Clip isn’t active enough. This also isn’t worth spending Deepsight Harmonizers on.
Canis Major
Roll: Impulse Amplifier + Kill Clip
Rating: ⭐
Bad gun and bad roll.
Just In Case
Roll: Flash Counter + Incandescent
Rating: ⭐⭐
Incandescent is usable, but this isn’t really great.
Quickfang
Roll: Relentless Strikes + Flash Counter
Rating: ⭐⭐
Not a great sword, but Relentless Strikes isn’t unusable, and Impact Masterwork is nice.
Crown Splitter
Roll: Relentless Strikes + Surrounded
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Relentless Strikes and Surrounded are great together when Surrounded is applicable, and Impact masterwork makes it even better.
Eternity’s Edge
Roll: Relentless Strikes + Counterattack
Rating: ⭐⭐
Not even Relentless Strikes can save this sword from being bad.
Legendary Armor
This week’s armor set is the Opulent Scholar set, from Season of Opulence. This is a pretty nice armor set in my opinion, and worth grabbing pieces of if you like them.
Closing Time
Xur’s offerings this week were a mixed bag, but there are some gems hidden throughout. In any case, keep an eye out every week for our report on whether you should care about what Xur has to offer, or whether you should ignore his offerings.
Thank you for reading, and see you in the stars.
