Hard light

Hard Light’sExtraordinary perk Volatile LightIt causes projectiles not to fall off at close range and to penetrate targets as well as ricochet off walls. Bonus damage is dealt to shots that bounce off walls. Holding down the Reload button can allow Hard Light to switch between any of these three types.

The Hard Light gun is great for matching components in Nightfalls or PvP. Pick this up if you don’t have it.

Liar’s Handshake

Liar’s Handshake This Hunter-exclusive Exotic gives your melee an extra boost. This ability is known as Cross Counter, and whenever you use an Arc melee ability or are hit with a melee attack, it’ll increase the damage of your next melee and let it heal you. If you’re headed somewhere with plenty of up-close-and-personal fighting, this should give you a nice extra boost in damage and might even get you out of a tight spot.

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

Lion Rampant

Lion RampantIt is an excellent Exotic for certain situations. The main benefit of this Exotic is Jump JetsThis provides more aerial mobility, and allows for better hip firing in the air. That may not sound like much (and it isn’t, in most cases), but some players swear by these in PvP and some jumping activities like the Gauntlet or the Reactor Room. Pick these up and keep them around; you never know when you’ll need a more accurate jump.

Xur’s roll this week comes with 65 total stats.

Crown of Tempests

Crown of TempestsIt is a great Warlock Exotic, especially for those who like Stormcaller. This helmet’s main perk, Conduction TeesArc Ability kills are used to increase your Stormtrance Super’s duration and recharge your Arc abilities. If you don’t have this helmet for your Warlock, you should definitely consider picking it up.
