As sure as the flowers bloom in spring, so Xur has once again arrived in “Destiny.” The merchant is selling his assortment of gear for your Titan, Hunter or Warlock from 5 a.m. EDT Friday to 5 a.m EDT Sunday. Even better, the arrival of every player’s favorite shopkeeper comes after Bungie revealed new details of its big spring update, which includes new challenges and a boost in the Light level cap.

Xur can be found in the Tower to the right. After a trip through the corridors, the merchant can be found in the tower hanger to the left. Last week, the Agent of the Nine had a mediocre lineup of armor that was saved by the impressive Zhalo Supercell weapon. This week, it appears Xur learned his lesson and is offering up a variety of gear that should please fans.
