What's a Xûr?
Xûr, Agent of the Nine, is a strange vendor who appears weekly in the Tower. Xûr sells Exotic equipment and only takes Strange Coins in exchange for them.
TL;DR: He's the Santa Claus of Destiny and every weekend is Christmas. Sometimes he brings you what you want, sometimes he brings you coal. Mostly it's coal.
When does Xûr visit?
Xûr visits every Friday at 17:00 UTC and departs at Weekly Reset (Tuesday 17:00 UTC). If you would like to see all the live conversions of Time Zones, please follow this link here.

Archie wishes you a happy reset and good luck!
Never forget what was lost. While the API protests have concluded, Reddit remains hostile to its users.

Tarnished mettle is a great stl explosive payload weapon, lost signal is kinda worse than ouster but has a few niche uses, locus locutus with under-over is a very good anti barrier weapon.
All 3 are craftable so it can be worth picking a few up and then using harmonisers on them.
38
u/DudeBadEnough 5d ago
Happy to see Lost Signal, as someone who was gone during that season.

u/LizzieMiles 5d ago
You can also get it from Encore (though if you don’t want to i don’t blame you I detest that mission)

u/Frodo-LAGGINS 5d ago
Thanks for a nonfunctioning bugged catalyst Xur. Doubt Black Talon's damage bonus is ever getting fixed. Even if they have anyone still squashing bugs, got to be far down the list.
18
u/malthusius 5d ago
I think at one point he mentioned that he doesn’t have full autonomy in these decisions
6
u/Frodo-LAGGINS 5d ago
He has. But complaining about a fictional character's "decisions" is funnier to me then yelling into the sky about Bungie. Probably about as productive too. I was mostly bothering to say this because I doubt this is a bug that is really on most people's radars. Picking it up will get it out of your drop pool, but it was a real feels bad to chase it and then get nothing.

u/6pussydestroyer9mlg 5d ago edited 5d ago
Unironically just buy 5 lost signals and when you get 5 harmonizers just use them on that.
73
u/MercuryTapir 5d ago
why waste harmonizers on guaranteed red borders from encore?
you get two you don't have on the easiest difficulty with classic collector
34
u/Full-Site1398 5d ago
I think u/6pussydestroyer9mlg might be wrong on this one

u/BareFox 5d ago
Is this farmable or just once a week?
11
u/MercuryTapir 5d ago
Farmable indefinitely.
It used to be once a week per difficulty, normal and master.
5
u/BareFox 5d ago
Oohhh shiiit so I'm assuming this applies to Seraph Shield too, I have to finally go grind out those Ikelos weapons. Thanks for the heads up man!

u/MercuryTapir 5d ago edited 5d ago
Absolutely. Any of the old pinnacle missions that dropped their season stuff before monument of triumph can be easily farmed now.
Derealize, notably, doesnt drop the heresy weapons since the majority of those are in Pit of Heresy.
Happy farming.
2
u/eh8904 5d ago
A hidden bonus, because Derealize is one of the worst missions in D2 and Pit of Heresy is still fun (albeit a cakewalk).

Doesn't it drop from Encore?

u/LizzieMiles 5d ago
Yeah but then you have to play encore again (i do not like that mission)

u/yourenzyme 5d ago
You still get 2 red borders on the easiest difficulty, so it's not the worse thing ever if you just want to unlock stuff for crafting.

u/dreadmouse Black Lives Matter 5d ago
What roll is everyone using on Lost Signal these days? I just crafted mine with autoloading/vorpal.
6
u/Ryan_WXH 5d ago
Auto-Loading + One for All
1
u/Devium44 5d ago
If I have an Ouster Engine with this exact roll, is worth it to hunt for a Lost Signal with that roll? Is there a real difference between the two?
2
u/yoshizDD 5d ago
No, OE is better. You should probably go for Air Trigger + Chaos Reshaped for general gameplay and ALH + Aggregate Charge for supplementary damage. Both with Accelerated Assault.
2
u/No_Housing_9602 4d ago
Auto/vorpal is the best possible roll on this. One for all is alright but not worth it. You’ll never keep any uptime on it. It’s a fire and forget weapon.
4
u/6pussydestroyer9mlg 5d ago
Autoloading for sure, haven't checked out the new perks but one for all is a personal favorite
-2
u/dothefanDango92 5d ago
I like overflow controlled burst

u/tjseventyseven 5d ago
Ouster Engine is easier and better to get at this point, better to save harmonizers for other stuff
1
u/Selaphane 5d ago
Save harmonizers for what, though? Seems like every red border is infinitely farmable now. Even raid red borders can be farmed when the raid is featured.
0
u/tjseventyseven 5d ago
Literally anything else. unless you are only missing lost signal, it's just strictly worse than ouster engine so why bother with it?
0
u/Selaphane 5d ago
I mean, generally speaking, yeah it's better. Although Ouster can't roll demolitionist. Kinda niche but demolitionist is a nice bit of tech to be able to shoot your GL twice in a row. Especially nice on prismatic.
Sometimes I prefer Lost Signal for that reason alone.
1
u/tjseventyseven 5d ago
Sure that's fair. Ouster gets envious if you want that but it more importantly gets air trigger for more ammo gen which I personally like more. it can also roll 3 perks in a column so you can go for multiple god rolls in one unlike lost can

u/Thoraxe474 5d ago
Why do I want lost signal? Is it better than mountain top from that event?

u/SplashDmgEnthusiast 5d ago edited 5d ago
Area denial GLs like Lost Signal are great when used as utility options, rather than used for damage like Mountaintop.
Lost Signal can have Autoloading/Attrition Orbs for example, so you can use it as an orb-printing machine that you never need to reload.(Edit: Lost Signal can't get Attrition Orbs, my apologies. We have 6 different area denial frame GLs, and 4 of them can roll Attrition Orbs in at least one version of their perk pool. Lost Signal and the brand-new Ouster Engine are the only ones that are missing it... strangely enough, those are the only Stasis weapons in this frame type. All other damage types but Kinetic exist for this frame type, and all of those have Attrition Orbs.)
Another example is the Strand area denial frame from Solstice (available through the Monument of Triumph podiums). It can roll Blast Distributor, which gives you up to +65 to your Grenade stat at 5 stacks. You get one stack per hit, so usually it's a slower-building buff on rocket sidearms or rocket pulse rifles... but the area denial GLs fire a large volley of shots, and every single one counts as a hit for Blast Distributor! Immediately gets you up to the max +65 stat buff for the cost of only one ammo.
EXCELLENT utility choices to do fun supplementary stuff and enhance your builds! Not the best for damage though, it's just not their role.

u/sonicboomcarl more bugs than Telesto 5d ago
Lost Signal can have Autoloading/Attrition Orbs for example, so you can use it as an orb-printing machine that you never need to reload.
Unfortunately, Attrition Orbs doesn't seem to be an available roll for Lost Signal. I'm not seeing it in the Enclave or Light.gg. Festival Flight is a solid Orbs option for kinetic slot, though!
1
u/SplashDmgEnthusiast 5d ago
I looked it up and edited my comment, thank you for the correction! Weird thing I noticed while double checking perk pools... the two Stasis area denial GLs are the only ones without Attrition Orbs?
Strand has Festival Flight, only one perk pool, has AO. Solar has Motif-41, only one perk pool, also has AO. Void has VS Velocity Baton, two perk pools (original and MoT refresh), AO is in both. And Arc has Psychopomp, two perk pools (original and MoT reissue), AO is in the currently-available reissued version.
We have these things in every damage type except Kinetic, and only Stasis gets shafted on Attrition Orbs? I wonder why that was done lmao, strange choice.

u/solidus_kalt 5d ago
festival flight?

YES, couldn't remember the name while writing that comment lmao, thank you!

Locus Locutus, Lost Signal, Herectics favor, & Afterlight.
Maybe Speleologist as crafted pick up as well. Idk about that one
Might as well pick others up to craft at some point.

I will refer to my other post about Speleologist. Tldr: machine gun goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Monument to season's past brother.

u/page395 5d ago
I have been picking them up from there as often as I can, but with the two week lockout it’s gonna take 2.5 months just to be able to craft 1 gun that way and I’ve got around 50 guns I need to craft lol
2
u/6pussydestroyer9mlg 5d ago
You can grind out the patters for a lot of them, lost signal is quite a bit harder to get red borders so there's that.
3
u/Necr0butcher 5d ago
Lost signal is literally guaranteed red border drop from Encore mission with classic collector modifier, along with the rest of Echoes weapons. How is that harder to get?
-1
u/page395 5d ago
Do you know if there are any that are particularly worth grinding in this current sandbox? I’ve been running the seraph mission to try to grind the ikelos weapons, but not sure if I should also be focusing on something else
1
u/6pussydestroyer9mlg 5d ago
Ikelos shotgun is the first that comes to mind. A lot of perk pools got updates so don't know all of them. VoG gear is usually great aswell. Use engram.blue to check what drops where.

u/wastingtuition 5d ago
Alright essentially new player here who hasn’t played since PoE in D1 that got into the game this week. What’s priority for scooping here?
2
u/never3nder_87 4d ago
Queenbreaker about the only meta pick, honestly nothing else.
NBP, Gifted Conviction and Boots of Assembler are all okay picks for their respective classes, and you could buy the exotic catalysts just so they're out of your loot pool

If you put I think it was gunner mod in your ghost, Boots of the Assembler got the god roll with 30 weapon, grenade and super. All what you want as Warlock in PvE :)

I vaguely remember Hawkmoon getting random rolls before I stopped playing, how does that work with Xur?

u/Tight-Seaweed3213 5d ago edited 5d ago
It should be illegal for Xur to have 2 old catalysts at this point of the game's life.
12
u/6pussydestroyer9mlg 5d ago
Because Xur is a catchup mechanic and thus has no benefit from selling new catalysts?

u/Tight-Seaweed3213 5d ago edited 5d ago
I've always held the stance that Xur should ideally be a catchup mechanic while still being exciting for veteran players. One old catalyst and one new catalyst each week would have been a nice way to strike that balance.
That's just me tho.

Are the rolls for No Backup Plans and Gifted Conviction good? I don't have either yet so don't know any of their buildcrafts.
1
u/LordOfTheBushes 5d ago
The default rolls listed in the post here are bad, but there's a feature (bug?) where you can change your armor ghost mod to different types and it will change the roll on certain exotic armor pieces Xur sells. These could be among them. For Gifted, pick it up if one of the mods shows high melee start and for NBP, pick it up if one shows decent weapons. Health is the worst PVE start, I wouldn't recommend picking up any senior with any health stat. There are so many ways to heal in build that it's useless in PVE as the main thing or does is increase the healing you get from picking up an Orb. Restoration, Heal Clip, and Devour make that extremely unnecessary when other stats give damage or cooldown bonuses.
1
u/Avrenis 5d ago
I have no idea how to make that bug / feature work. I changed my ghost mod and checked Xur but no change. I also tried going to orbit and then back into the tower but Xur still had the same roll. What am I doing wrong?
2
u/Past_Ad3616 5d ago edited 5d ago
It can be incredibly inconsistent, and it's entirely possible that an armour piece just will not change archetypes no matter what ghost mod you have on. It's entirely luck of the draw. You just have to go through the mods and see if you luck out on an archetype change for the piece that you want.
Edit: Swapping to Skirmisher managed to get me a Skirmisher 30 Melee/20 Super/25 Weapons No Backup Plans.

Crafted Locus Locutus with Overflow/UnderOver is a very nice Anti Barrier sniper now.
