Hi
I got the Hard Light exotic from Xur yesterday, I was level 35 at the time. Today I hit 40 and got it out of my storage, and it looks like it is missing a lot of upgrades. I looked it up and on several sites it should have a ton of upgrades available, but I only count 4 columns, 5 if counting the one that says "kinetic" and has infuse. According to the many sites with reviews of it, it SHOULD have a ton of upgrades for damage and stuff.
This two day old post about it shows a crap ton of upgrades, and 334 attack. The one I bought from Xur has only 280. Please help me someone, I was really looking forward to using this weapon :(
The sites you looked up were the max values during year 1. When patch 2.0 launched, light levels were scaled to match current values.
The 334 attack was a year 1 version of this weapon. The current max values of year 1 weapons were changed to 170.
The 280 attack you have is a year 2 version, which has a max attack value of 320. This year 2 version also no longer has the additional attack value upgrades.
