Destiny 2 Xur Location and Inventory for August 17: Lion Rampart, Sunshot, and More!
By Jeff Kotuby ·
It was 3 years ago this week that Gjallarhorn Day took place, and while we don't think Xur has our beloved rocket launcher this week, we're sure he's got something good.
On August 14, 2014, Xur shocked the Destiny community by selling Gjallarhorn, the Exotic Rocket Launcher that changed raid encounters forever. This most powerful of weapons single-handedly took down Ultras of every size and shape with the quickest of ease, thanks to its iconic Wolfpack Rounds. These are dark times now, as we haven't been treated to the Gjallarhorn's might in Destiny 2 whatsoever. But this week, Xur's got some Exotics that will do their best to hold us over until the mighty Gjallarhorn returns. This week, Xur is on Io, in the Giant's Scar.
Here's what he's got for sale:
Sunshot - Hand Cannon (29 Legendary Shards) - This week's weapon is Sunshot, a Solar Hand Cannon which fires explosive rounds and highlights targets that take damage from Sunshot. Combined with Sun Blast, which explodes targest killed with Solar energy, makes for a deadly, fiery weapon.
Orpheus Rig - Hunter Leggings (23 Legendary Shards) - For Nightstalker Hunters, Xur brings the Orpheus Rig leggings. These leggings provide ability energy for each enemy tethered by Shadowshot anchors. Nightstalkers will also receive Mobility and Resilience out of the box. Not much else to say - if you fancy yourself a Nightstalker, scoop these legs!
Lion Rampant - Titan Leggings (23 Legendary Shards) - Titans can purchase the Lion Rampant, a set of leggings which provide additional aerial maneuverability, and enables accurate hipfire while in the air during Lift. The legs also provide Mobility and Recovery from the jump. They look awesome, but these seem to be a very niche set of legs. If you've got the coin and need them for an ecnounter or your collection, grab them.
Karnstein Armlets - Warlock Gloves (23 Legendary Shards) - Lastly, Xur beings the Karnstein Armlets for Warlocks. These gloves will make Melee kills instantly restore a large amount of health and continue to restore health afterwards for a short duration. Mobility and Resilience are also increased by the Armlets. Again, not much else to say here - if they fit your playstyle, grab them. If not, save your coin!
As always, Xur is also selling a Fated Engram for 97 Legendary Shards, Three of Coins for 31 Shards, and the Five of Swords Nightfall challenge card. For more Destiny 2 goodness, check out our list of the top Destiny 2 streamers!
