Destiny 2\u2019s Xur will sell \u201cguaranteed\u201d Exotic Class Items for limited time BungieDestiny 2\u2019s Xur vendor will sell \u201cguaranteed\u201d Exotic Class Items following fan backlash about recent drop changes. Bungie unleashed Destiny 2\u2019s 8.0.5 update on August 6, introducing changes to Exotic class item drop rates that instantly upset the community. These adjustments were a by-product of the team\u2019s response to criticism that the Exotic class item grind in The Final Shape felt more arduous than fun. The 8.0.5 patch compounded fan complaints, enough that the August 15 This Week in Destiny post insists Bungie has \u201cstarted making improvements to how [Exotic Class Items] can be acquired.\u201d Ideas for new changes remain in \u201cearly development,\u201d meaning a resolution won\u2019t launch soon. In the interim, Xur\u2019s shop will receive an update wherein the Wildcard offer makes room for either Exotic Class Items or an Exotic Cipher every week. Meanwhile, the Wildcard\u2019s usual Ritual Engrams, Exotic Ciphers, or Raid Banner offers will be moved to the Strange Offers category. Xur is \u201cguaranteed\u201d to sell Exotic class items during the first week the category\u2019s live, starting August 23. Every week after that, though, players should expect the vendor to \u201creturn to his RNG ways.\u201d Bungie\u2019s post further notes Exotic Class Items in Xur\u2019s shop will cost 41 Strange Coins a pop and have random rolls. To get them, players must have already unlocked the regular acquisition path for each character through the Dual Destiny mission. In the event an Exotic Class Item is not on offer, the Destiny 2 vendor will alternatively sell an Exotic Cipher priced at 79 Strange Coins and limited to one per account. Destiny Tracker relayed the news to Destiny 2 players on Twitter\/X and the response has been mixed at best. Fans appear especially disgruntled by the notion that Xur will return to cycling things out through RNG after just one week. One user commented, \u201cI\u2019m sorry but no. This isn\u2019t fully it. Yes, putting them with Xur is a FANTASTIC move. But making them rng after 1 week is completely missing the point.\u201d Someone else chimed in to add, \u201cI can\u2019t lie, I\u2019m really not happy with the pace of their responses to this problem.\u201d Meanwhile, others don\u2019t approve of the Dual Destiny requirement, with one Reddit user saying, \u201cI get that you want us to play Dual Destiny. I love the mission too. But there needs to be another way to GUARANTEE a drop. Whether it be Overthrow, the Ghost vendor, or whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
