　　UPDATE: A representative from developer 343 clarified one interesting facet of the game regarding console exclusive items. In addition to exotics that exist on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version of Destiny, we can confirm that Xur--Destiny's shadowy salesman--can sell upgrades for PS4 exclusive weaponry, specifically Hawkmoon and Monte Carlo. Previously, it was thought he would be unable to do so since his inventory was identical across both platforms.

　　This doesn't confirm that Xur will sell the items, just that he has the ability to do so.

　　The original story appears below.

　　The Dark Below expansion for Destiny is coming next week, and developer Bungie is already confident that it will "change the experience of playing Destiny for all."

　　In a preview posted to the developer's website, Bungie detailed the major changes that will be introduced to the game. One notable change for hardcore players deals with leveling exotic gear; the update will allow you to make your exotic weapons more powerful, but it comes at the cost of "resetting the progression" you've already put into that item.

　　New Exotic Upgrading

　　Exotic Gear in The Dark Below will have higher Attack and Defense values than current Exotic Gear. For players and their current caches of Exotics, a path will exist to bring them forward into The Dark Below.

　　- Starting December 9th, Xûr will offer players the opportunity to upgrade Exotics to the higher Attack and Defense values

　　- Upgrading an Exotic in this way will require an Exotic Shard

　　- The upgrade will reset the progression invested into the item

　　- Each week, Xûr will possess a selection of upgrades for existing Exotics in his inventory

　　You can find the other update notes copied below:
