My first exotic armor was the Graviton Forfeit, and my first exotic weapon was the Zhalo Supercell, both of which I bought from Xûr. But my first exotic engram drop was the Red Death, which was the one thing I wanted SO BAD and my first drop got to be what I wanted most. lol How amazing right.
But my first exotics ever, I bought from Xûr. Forfeit and Supercell.
My first for y1 was heart of praxic Fire. I got it from a exotic engram from xür and I started screaming. My buddy that I was playing with(supposedly) had to go eat right after I did that. My y2 was (well, I got them both in the same group of packages at the same time) but they were obsidian mind and the ram. Believe it or not, I have been playing destiny since around 5/15/15 and I have never gotten an exotic weapon. I'm saving my strange coins for xür to sell last word and I didn't have enough when he first sold it
Thunderlord from xur. When I was still a noob and didn't understand xur only came on Fridays through Sunday's, I spent 30 minutes looking around the tower after I bought my thunderlord looking for him.
