Destiny 2 players have a long history of figuring out how to break certain parts of the game, and it has always been one of the nearly interesting aspects of Destiny. Over the last few months, players have learned that information technology is possible to take Xur, a trader who shows up for a limited time each week, hostage.

Xur ordinarily arrives on Fri and leaves on Tuesday, only players have discovered that if they stay near the trader, the servers cannot reset, and he will be trapped there with them. To make matters more interesting, his inventory will change, giving players a chance at new loot.

This has led to some exciting discoveries, such as the fact that it would seem that Xur is due to sell The Scholar Scout Rifle adjacent weekend. Previously, The Scholar has only been available from Trails of Osiris, Destiny two'southward pinnacle PvP event that is held near weekends.

Players who are capturing Xur in this way are then making their accounts details public, allowing other members of the community to bring together their fireteam and grab what they want for Xur before leaving and making room for someone else.

There too doesn't seem to be much that Bungie tin can practice about this at the moment. Xur'due south inventory appears to autogenerate the moment he is supposed to leave, so trapping him will always become admission to a new inventory. It also seems unlikely that Bungie will offset to force a difficult reset and dump everyone out of servers for the weekly reset that usually removes Xur each week.
