Destiny Xur update: should you buy Telesto?

Xur did bring another weapon this week, too. Is it any good?

Xur's visit to the tower has already begun. He brought a fusion rifle along with him, Telesto.

Being a fusion rifle already puts Telesto at a disadvantage. Fusion rifles are not go-to weapons in PvP, and they're outclassed by most other weapon types in PvE. However, the weapon is fun to use because it's a little bit like the Needler from Halo, it even has purple colour highlights.

It fires projectiles that latch onto enemies and do damage over time, so it's a bit different from regular fusion rifles. This could make for some interesting play-styles, if you're not looking to necessarily do the most damage. It also has Void burn, which will help with this week's Nightfall.

Outside of that, and the fact that you could always just buy it to expand your collection, the weapon isn't considered top-tier, and you can safely ignore it if you're low on Strange Coins.
