Xur's junk: Suros, Armamentarium, Arachnid, Starfire, engram (Destiny)

It's a body engram.

Funk's opinion:

Arachnid is genuinely terrible. YMMV.

Armamentarium is really good, but looks ugly on female titans. 2 grenades though!

Starfire protocol is decent, frees up your last sunsinger perk by giving you another grenade.

Suros is great.

If you're low on coins, priority 1 is Suros, then Armamentarium. Make sure you don't get it before you check what the body armor engram gives you should you choose to buy it.

The stats, like discipline and intellect, don't matter to me as much as the perks. If you have the luxury of choosing what to buy based on stat rolls, just buy the armor piece and buy another one with better stats later.

I'd agree with this. You've got a much better chance of an Armamentarium upgrade option showing up later than Armamentarium itself coming up for purchase again. In the meantime at least you'll have an extra grenade.

Starfire protocol needs a buff before it's worthwhile.

Starfire protocol is decent, frees up your last sunsinger perk by giving you another grenade.

Just fusion grenades (the sticky kind) though. It's really outclassed by other exotics like the armamentarium, which gives you two of any grenade, as opposed to 1/6.

If this thing was more useful, I might rock it all the time as a sunsinger. It's one of my favourite warlock gear pieces, aesthetically.

Yeah an extra grenade period would be good. I love the way solar grenade combines with touch of flame, so a way to an extra solar grenade without giving up touch of flame would be great.

Really, any grenade other than Fusion would be okay, if you think about it. Their one-hit-kill nature in crucible makes that combo useless.

Angel of Light is better in the Crucible. Chewbaccawakka can put out some serious damages when he uses it, but I'm still haven't really given it a shot. Bad Juju+Voidwalker in the Crucible is so much fun I always forget. :p

I've had friends that didn't know how to use a hand thrower accidentally throw them at me instead of down range.

That's just what they claimed afterward. ;)

Maybe my hand thrower just sucked, but I could never get the stupid thing to actually throw clays, regardless of direction. Most of them just shattered on the way out.

Your hand thrower is OP ;p

I still think Voidfang Vestments is tough to beat in Crucible. Better Axion Bolt grenades, and you always spawn with a grenade ready. The enemy team HATES me by the end of every match XD

I was 2 coins short as well, about an hours worth of strikes and I hand enough engrams to decode to those coins I needed. Now I have a Suros! :D

Xur's junk...

Dammit, Funkmon! Thanks to you*, I've now taken the time to consider what Xur's junk would actually look like.

If you're curious, I was leaning toward a many-tentacled inky black mass, like his face, as opposed to a single multi-articulated ethereal appendage. But then I started thinking about how the female organ might pair up with that and finally decided that Xur's race is actually hermaphroditic and it's just a tangle of male and female sex organs that all interlock during intercourse.

As a result, a dozen or so eggs could become fertilized in each participant and in the end, the couple doesn't just share in the act of copulation, but childbirth itself becomes a shared experience as well. When it's all said and done, you end up with a whole litter of adorable squid-faced monsters crawling about!

*It's Friday and a really slow day at work, so I guess that gets part of the blame, but it's more fun to blame Funkmon for everything :p

As it was with my train of thought. Once my mind locked on to the phrase "Xur's junk," there was just no stopping it.

I suppose I didn't have to share the details of where that led me but, you know, misery loves company.
