Weekend Breakdown December 22-25, 2017
Xur
Kicking our Holiday weekend off with our weekly visit from our friend Xur. This week Xur can be found on the Rig landing zone, on the planet Titan. Use your world map to find his Icon on the map in your Director to set a way point to his location quickly. If your unfamilar with Xur he is a Exotic item vendor that appears only Fridays at reset to monday reset time, and sells an assortment of Exotic items each week. Each week the items he has drop at a power level of 270 with an attached +5 Mod on it already. Having usually an Exotic weapon and armor piece for each class of Guardian, and now selling the Fated Engrams for a chance at an Exotic not currently in your inventory. Also the Three of Coin consumables that grant 4 hours buff increasing your chances of getting an Exotic to drop. This week Xur's inventory consists of the following:
Riskrunner, submachine gun: 29 Legendary Shards
Lucky Pants, Hunter pants: 23 Legendary Shards ( must have for Hunters)
Doom Fang Pauldron, Titan arms: 23 Legendary Shards
Wings of Sacred Dawn, Warlock chest: 23 Legendary Shards
Fated Engram: 97 Legendary Shards
Three of Coins: 31 Legendary Shards

Trials of the Nine
Trials of the Nine has returned for another weekend of the highly competitive PvP mode. This week Trials is on the map Pacifica and the game mode is Countdown. Countdown if your unfamiliar with it is a 4v4 game mode where both teams alternate sides each round from Attack to Defense. Attack you must eliminate the enemy team or set one of the two charges located on the map, if your team is eliminated the Defense team must deactivate your charge if you set one, if it detonates the Attack team wins the round still. Defense you must either eliminate the Attack team and also protect the charges, deactivating them if one is armed, Best of 5 Rounds wins the Match. After one win on your Trials card the Spire location is unlocked to redeem earned Tokens. The more wins the farther your Guardian ascends to the top of the Spire, with a flawless card grants access to a Celestial realm of the Nine for additional rewards and photo ops. To compete in a Trials match you must complete the Call to Arms Milestone atleast once and be a Power level of atleast 260. Good Luck Guardians! and if you see me in a match this weekend, Wave and say Hi, I mite have a Prize for you this weekend in spirit of the Holidays, and like Flawless cards the prizes are limited.

We did get a late update from Christopher Barrett Game Director at Bungie on his Twitter with some info about whats coming to Destiny 2 and what these fine Guardians are working on. Here is what Christopher Barrett had to say:
Happy Holidays Guardians. I hope you are enjoying the The Dawning or at least a bit of chaos in Mayhem. There are a few things I want to mention before the year ends...
For the upcoming Iron Banner and Faction Rally events, in addition to brand new seasonal armor Ornaments, we’re adding new themed Sparrows, Ghosts, Ships, and Shaders to the reward pools.Also, early next year, we’re refactoring Raid itemization across the game.
The most difficult activities should be the most rewarding.And finally, I know we say it a lot, but we hear your feedback on Eververse. We both want our players to feel respected, and to deliver great content regularly to our community. Expect lots of discussion with the dev team and an update on our path forward after the new year.One more for good measure.
We have short term and long term solutions for Vault space in the works, since I know that is another hot topic.
As always stay up to date with News, Stats, Articles, and the Community with all of us here at DestinyTracker.com
And in spirit of the Holiday Season, Happy Holidays Guardians from all of us here at Destiny Tracker, and here is a card from me (Avgjoe227) to you. Happy Holidays!!
