Right here’s my principle: Xur runs a personally owned donut store. Very particular. Solely open for 3 days out of the week. And if you know the way a few of these mother and pop outlets run, then perhaps you recognize that he simply makes a specific amount and when it’s gone, it’s gone, and he closes up for the day. You gotta be up there at like 7:59 a.m. when the store opens in case you’re gonna get your self a dozen of these candy Xur donuts. I hear he makes a ridiculously good pecan bearclaw

And yeah, Xur most likely solely takes Unusual Cash and Motes of Gentle for his donuts, so that you higher do your grinding in case you’re gonna get at these fresh-baked items.

I’ve lengthy held the idea that my private guardian, when not killing gods, is present in a dive bar deep inside The Final Metropolis. The sort the place you don’t must hassle ordering as a result of the Fallen bartender is aware of your order. I assume that each time the Vanguard has an project for me they must ship somebody to peel my face off the desk and sober me up.

Whether or not he’s hawking wares over the weekend or it’s the center of the work week, he must be there, boots on the bottom along with his celestial steed, operating the sport present. Does he have a alternative within the matter? Most likely not. Afterall, his will just isn’t his personal.

By the character of his job, Xur sees and meets lots of people. He’s not an alien of many phrases, so I wish to think about that he is an observant people-watcher, perhaps to a regarding diploma.

What does Xur do from Tuesday to Thursday? It doesn’t matter who you’re or the place you’re from; when you will have some free time, you attempt to make amends for tv that you’ve missed. Xur isn’t any completely different. Identical to everybody else, when Xur doesn’t have work, he sits down and places Netflix on to chill out. I heard he’s catching up on Younger Sheldon and Scrumptious in Dungeon. If he appears like altering it up, Xur will hop on YouTube or Twitch and discover livestreamers he likes. It feels like Xur loves The Stevetendo Present and Pop! Goes the Tradition. Who knew Xur was such a giant Shacknews fan? Xur spends his free time catching up on TV and that’s one thing I can respect!


That is what we expect Xur is doing when he is not promoting wares on the weekend. What say you? Pontificate within the Chatty!
