Destiny's in-game character, Xur Agent of the Nine, will be back in the reckoning during 16-18 January weekend. This will be Xur's first emergence in 2015, who appears only during the weekends.
Xur is the merchant within the Tower, who comes with new exotic weapons, armours and other rare goods for players who have saved Strange Coins and/or Motes of Light.
Note: Xur can be found in the Tower Hangar, standing in Hall of Guardians, near the Crucible vendors.
Since the launch of Dark Below DLC in December 2014, Xur brings with him a combination of both new and upgraded items for players willing to shell out their Strange Coins. Though not all the items that Xur has might be game changers, players might find some items that might help them add to their inventory.
Xur stays only for the weekend and will disappear on 18 January.
