Fighting Lion

It Fighting LionExotic tube-fed, grenade launcher. The primary benefit of this gun is its ability to launch grenades from any tube. Delayed GratificationIt causes projectiles to explode when the trigger is released. The secondary benefit is The Herd is ThinThis will increase the damage to the enemy shield. Primary ammo is used as well in the grenade rocketer.

Fighting Lion is a gimmick weapon, but that doesn’t mean it’s useless. If you’re working on any quest that requires grenade launcher kills, the Fighting Lion is perfect — since it rarely runs out of ammo. It takes a lot of time to get used to the Fighting Lion, but it’s a powerful tool in rare situations.

Young Ahamkara’s Spine

Young Ahamkara’s SpineIt is quite ordinary in Exotics terms. Its main perk, Wish-Dragon TeethThis increases your Tripmine Grenades’ blast radius and length, and also returns energy to the grenade slots when you deal damage with abilities. In PvP, this is a situational option and nearly ineffective for PvE.

A situational PvP Exotic doesn’t cut it when Hunters already have very good PvP catch-alls like the Foetracer helmet — although some Hunters swear by the more powerful grenade. If you’re trying collect all of the Exotics and you’re missing these, Young Ahamkara’s Spine is for you.

Xur’s roll this week comes with 60 total stats.

Ursa Furiosa

Ursa FuriosaA set of Exotic gauntlets Forsaken. Exotic perk Ursine GuardWhen Sentinel Shield is active, you get Super Energy back. Sentinel Shield activated makes you move quicker. There was a time when these Exotics were dominant, but they’ve since been nerfed into being a bit underwhelming outside of content like GM Nightfalls. You should get these gauntlets if Sentinel Shield is something you are passionate about or if there’s a gap in your collection.

Xur’s roll this week comes with 62 total stats.

Aeon Soul

Aeon Soul This is a pair Warlock gauntlets Curse Of Osiris. The Exotics were recently reworked and work in a similar way to Aeon Swift and Aeon Safe for Titans.
