There’s been a lot of big Destiny news this week, offering us some exhaustive details about the upcoming Taken King expansion, including a vidoc and details on the three new subclasses. In the midst of the excitement, Xur has appeared at the Vestian Outpost, and brings with him two items he’s never had in stock before.
While warlocks have gotten Starfire Protocol before, and Hard Light certainly isn't the best gun in the game right now, both Titans and Hunters have something to be excited about. Both of those classes have exotics on sale that offer increased melee options. Titans get the Feedback Fence, which deals damage around you when something melee attacks you. And Hunters get Khepri's Sting, which offers melee abilities that transform the Hunter into a more classic Rogue by providing new invisibility options and some massive backstab damage potential.
Location: Xur is in the Vestian Outpost in the Reef. After arriving, turn right and run onto the lower platform. A shadowy doorway looms, and inside you'll find Xur selling his wares.
