8v8 Sparrow Control: Chaos on the Crucible

At the GCX event, an exciting experimental gameplay called “8v8 Sparrow Control” is set to debut. According to Aztecross, this mode promises extreme action in the Crucible, where eight teams of Guardians will go head-to-head. For those attending GCX in person, there’s an opportunity to play this mode directly, and even those at home can join in the fun. The gameplay will be accessible for a fortnight starting from August 27th.

Xur’s Exotic Offerings: Changes to Exotic Class Items

In a recent conversation, Aztecross talks about the modifications in Xur’s stock. Starting from now, players can purchase Exotic class items directly from Xur using 41 Strange Coins, with each item having randomized stats. However, to buy these items, you need to have already completed the Dual Destiny mission for every character to unlock the standard acquisition path. Furthermore, Xur will be selling an Exotic Cipher for 79 Strange Coins, and only one per account is allowed. This new category of items will ensure that exotic class items are available during its first week.

YouTuber Aztecross shares that the enhanced version of Icarus, known as the Adept Icarus, can be earned by players who manage to achieve a Flawless victory during the weekend.
