Xur:
This week Xur does not have anything that is really worth buying in my opinion.
In the video he says the gauntlets are for the hunter and the helmet is for a titan. He is wrong, the gauntlets are for the titan and the helmet is for the hunter. The only thing that might buying from Xur this week would be the warlock chest, the heart of praxic fire, and the exotic engram. Everyone should buy as many exotic engrams as they can every time he has it because it is a random exotic item that is attainable from it and it levels up the cryptarch. With the newest update this week Xur should have exotic engrams a lot more often. 

The 1.1.1 update for destiny came in earlier this week and made quite a few changes. This update balanced out the weapons and fixed the heavy weapon ammo. These things needed to be fixed for quite sometime and they finally fixed them. While playing, every time someone would die they would lose some of their heavy ammo. This was not supposed to happen. This was very frustrating when doing difficult things in the game because heavy ammo really helps speed things up. The game got much better with this update but the game needs further updates soon. 

For anyone who has played the game and has taken on Crota's End on hard mode, they might know that killing Crota can seriously be a pain in the a$$ sometimes. There are little glitches that need to be fixed otherwise you simply can't kill him sometimes. In order to kill Crota you must take down his shield, when his shield is off he kneels down, and someone with a sword must hit him with it to take his health down. The swordbearer must hit him a few times and either go invisible or run away from Crota as fast as possible. Well there are occasions where crota immediately jumps up and kills the swordbearer. When this happens you basically have to start over because you cannot revive anyone in hard mode. It's little things like this that need to be fixed in order to make the game better. But overall, it's still an amazing game.

Xur:
This week Xur was not much of a disappointment but still no Gjallarhorn,


He actually had two things that everyone wanted this week. He is selling exotic engrams and heavy ammo synthesis. Two things that help everyone in the game. 


The picture above is an exotic engram. Exotic Engrams give a random exotic weapon or piece of armor. Exotic items are the best in the game and there are many of them. These things really help exotic collectors since Xur doesn't sell very many of them each week. But this week his inventory was not that bad, 

Rant of the week: 
For anyone who has played the crucible on Destiny, they might know of how over powered fusion rifles are in the crucible. This makes it extremely hard for anyone doing exotic bounties because they kill you in one burst.
 

As he says in the video "You are able to annihilate your enemies", he is 100% true. They desperately need a debuff so people aren't able to sprint around the map the entire time and kill everyone in one burst. It gets very frustrating when you can't even get a kill when everyone on the opposite team is using a fusion rifle. I personally hate the crucible and this makes it 50x worse. Well there's my rant for the week.

Xur is at it again not selling the weapon everyone wants in Destiny. For those of who don’t know who Xur is, he is an exotic weapons and armor dealer who comes every Friday and leaves every Sunday. 


The Ice Breaker is owned by 96% of Destiny players. He sold this weapon a few weeks ago so we really don't need it again right now. Instead of selling something nearly everyone owns, why not sell the Gjallarhorn (good luck pronouncing that). Less than half of the Destiny players this weapon. 


This weapon is considered the best weapon in the game so it would unbalance the game if everyone had it but with the game increasing in difficulty, it is almost a necessity. If it is a necessity then more than half of Destiny players should have it. As well as not selling the Gjallarhorn, Xur has also not sold heavy ammo synthesis for a few weeks. This is also a necessity while doing difficult things in the game because of the rare heavy ammo drop. 

Well this week is pretty much another disappointment from Xur. We'll have to see if we get lucky enough next week for him to sell stuff we all need.
