Destiny players on PlayStation and Xbox consoles get to celebrate the New Year with a visit from Xûr, Agent of the Nine. The mysterious vendor has appeared in the Tower once again with a treat for those who have yet to pick up the Invective. Meanwhile, the armor selection is fair to middling.
Those looking for Xûr should run straight ahead after spawning in the Tower toward the Vanguard Hall with Cayde-6, Ikora Rey, and Zavala. He is located to the right of the table that the three Vanguards are standing at, against the wall. Here’s where you can find him on the Tower map, just to be sure.

Xûr and his items will only be available in Destiny through the morning of Sunday, January 3. As soon as the clock strikes 5 a.m. ET/2 a.m. PT, he will be gone.

For those wondering what to get, here are a few helpful hints.
Invective
Empyrean Bellicose
The random perk rolls give “Hands On” and “Heavy Lifting” in the third column for more Super Energy from melee and Heavy Weapon kills against minions. “Better Already” for shield recovery is the final column perk.
The split 46 Intellect/49 Discipline stat roll is average. Destiny players picking this up will want to consider re-rolling with Glass Needles to get “Inverse Shadow” combined with either “Better Already” or “Infusion” in the third column.
Sealed Ahamkara Grasps
The second column random perk rolls include “Switchblade” for reduced melee cooldown time and “Impact Induction” for bonus grenade energy on melee hits. The third column optional perks offer a choice between faster Fusion Rifle or Rocket Launcher reloading.
The split 44 Discipline and 41 Strength stat roll is very average for Destiny players. Glass Needles usage should be considered for potentially better stats and/or to get the reload perks for your most used weapons.
Starfire Protocol
The third column perks give the choice between carrying additional special or heavy weapon ammo while one of the final column perks provide additional armor when using a Solar-based class.
The 66 Discipline and 62 Strength split roll is excellent. There’s really no reason to re-roll this piece as the random perks and stats all come up favorable for Destiny Warlocks.
