Rejoice, mysterious-merchant-who-sells-tantalizing-items fans: Destiny 2's Xur is no longer bugged. After an extended period in which a bug was causing the armor he sold to have stats that made them worthless for many players, Bungie has sorted out the issue, and Xur is again worth paying a visit.

And therein lies one of the primary appeals of Xur's visits: It's not only a way to fill out your Exotic collection with anything you may not have otherwise collected, but even if you have everything, it's a way to obtain Exotic armor that either has better stats than the version you already own or at least offers a stat allocation that is more conducive to your play style.

A patch that rolled out this week was said to resolve the situation, and we can confirm you're no longer condemned to Exotic items topping out at 48 stat
