Visit Xur
Hey, you know that weird tentacled face dude who sells powerful gear for those dirty coins you keep finding all over the place in Destiny: The Taken King? It turns out that the stuff he provides is pretty damn useful for individuals looking to ‘git gud’ and stock up on heavy duty supplies. Xur is here to help anyone that has the coin to make a request of him, so it’s time to loosen up those purse strings and pick up some preparatory gear.
If you’ve been having trouble acquiring some good gear, now is a time to get your hands on an Exotic with some Year Two stats on it. This will help out a bit with that whole Light level issue we’ve mentioned before. Also make sure to pick up some Heavy Ammo Synthesis. For those new to Destiny, these items allow you to fully restock your heavy ammo instantly which can come in handy during particularly difficult boss encounters.
Aside from picking up things you may need, just go and get a pat on the back and some much needed encouragement as you gaze into the abyss that happens to make up this cloaked gentleman’s face. He doesn’t bite (not that we know of anyway), so stop by and say hi. It may do you some good.
