Xur's location and gear guide for December 8 through 11 in **Destiny 2 ** is now revealed. For those don't know, Xur is an agent of the Nine and a traveling merchant who shows up every weekend at a different location, on a different planet, with a handful of new, Exotic gear. Typically, four items are available to players every weekend, and all the times can be purchased using only Legendary Shards. And this weekend marks the first Xur sale since the game's first expansion, Curse of Osiris , released, which means gear should be higher level than usual. This weekend, Xur is located at the European Dead Zone (EDZ) near Winding Cove. You'll have to climb a few rocks to get to the elusive agent, but it's well worth it for what he has this w A spokesperson for the developer clarified that this system has not been implemented in-game as of yet, referring chiefly to the recent release of Destiny 2 and the forthcoming release of Call of Duty W What's more, Heroic Strikes, which are finally making a comeback in Destiny 2 , requires consumers to purchase DLC in order to play the playlist in the sequel. Considering that the minimum Power Level for the Heroic Strikes playlist is only 270, vanilla players should be able to take part in the playlist; all Bungie needs to do is make the Curse of Osiris strikes available as a separate option. But to lock both the Heroic Strikes and the Prestige Nightfall behind the DLC is unscrupulous, to say the le Bungie's reputation with gamers is hanging by a thread judging by how they've been treating their consumer base lately. And the problem is that this isn't anything new for them... or for Activision. The developer employed the same shady tactics in the first Destiny game, and they got away with it, for the most part, which is why they've brought the same mechanic back for the sequel. But now that the gaming industry is under fire for its predatory tactics, with EA bearing the brunt of the industry's consumer backlash , Bungie deciding to use the same mechanics for Destiny 2 may just tip their fan base against t The element of chance inherent in these systems led gamers to question their nature as a form of gambling. The ESRB has since weighed in on the debate and decided that this is not the case. While their legality has apparently been clarified, the morality of targeted microtransactions remains up for debate. Now, Activision is looking to take the next big step of in-game marketing, via a system that can deliberately enhance or reduce your gameplay experience to encourage purchases of in-game cont **Destiny 2 ** , like its predecessor, isn't quite delivering on the initial promise of the franchise nor is it keeping the player base happy at the moment. A lack of end game content and worse, a lack of transparency from developer Bungie, has resulted in a consistent flow of negative buzz on forums and Reddit. But change is com As promised, Activision and Bungie finally detailed what to expect from [https://destiny2mix.com Destiny 2 collectibles|Https://Destiny2mix.com/] 2 _ 's upcoming _Forsaken expansion today. Releasing on September 4, the first major expansion for the first-person shooter will include two new locations to explore, and a collaborative endgame mode called Gambit. This is the new feature that Activision President Cody Johnson was previously talking up as " one that introduces a whole new style of play for first-person shooter gaming generally and certainly for the shared-world shooter space that Destiny create The Dragon's Shadow (costs 23 Legendary Shards) is an exotic Hunter class chest armor that's constructed out of wraithmetal mail and "grants movement and weapon handling speed for a short time after dodging," which should come especially handy during PvP matches, considering Hunters do a fair amount of dodging in competitive. Also, Hunters who use a Void subclass will have their class abilities recharge faster - and the ability can stack up to 3 ti A first-of-its kind for Destiny , Gambit is a new, hybrid 4v4 mode that merges both PvE and PvP experiences into an epic battle. This entirely new way to play Destiny 2 offers something for all types of gamers to enjoy, appealing to those who thrive on the competitive challenge of PvP gameplay, while seamlessly blending the collaborative and unpredictable elements of PvE. This new mode will be playable at the 2018 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) held from June 12-14 at the Los Angeles Convention Cen Curse of Osiris comes on the heels of Bungie suffering overwhelming backlash for rigging Destiny 2 's XP system , with regard to players earning Bright Engrams post-Level 20, thus forcing them to " fix " the system. But they failed to mention if they would make it up their mistake to players by compensating them with in-game rewards that they lost out on. Unfortunately, Bungie seems to be doing the exact opposite, as they're now blocking previously available end-game content behind Bungie continues working against players as they've now blocked select **Destiny 2 ** end-game content for those who haven't purchased the game's DLC. The game's first mini-expansion, Curse of Osiris , released this past Tuesday and came with new missions - as well as an increase in the game's soft level cap, from 20 to 25, and gear level cap, from 300 to 330 (gear can be increased by 5 using legendary mods) - in addition to introducing new higher-level, end-game content, such as Heroic Stri
