Xur has made his way back to the world of Destiny 2, bringing a fresh lineup of exotic and legendary gear for Guardians to explore. As Episode Heresy hits a lull between Acts, players have the perfect opportunity to regroup, recharge, and farm for weapons and gear from the newly introduced Sundered Doctrine dungeon.
This week, Bungie rolled out an update to iron out some pesky bugs that have been bothering players. The fixes primarily targeted activities like Trials of Osiris and Sundered Doctrine. Additionally, Bungie has fine-tuned several exotic gears including Speaker’s Sight, Blight Ranger, Lodestar, and more.
Currently, players can look forward to Xur’s latest weekend visit, offering a captivating selection of gear. Here’s the scoop on his whereabouts, details about the exotic cipher quest, and a rundown of the exotic and legendary items up for grabs until February 28th, 2025.
Where’s Xur this weekend? He’s permanently settled in the Bazaar area inside The Tower, removing the need for competitive weekend hunts. Accessible from either fast travel points, head to the area where you usually find Ikora and Hawthorne. Look towards the Ramen Shop at the back wall; his alley is tucked on the right.
Xur continues to offer his weekly quests, essential for securing a second fated engram and acquiring legacy exotic gear from the Tower kiosk. Completing strikes and winning Crucible or Gambit matches rewards players with a new cipher, with added bonuses for clan play or tackling tougher challenges.
Among Xur’s offerings is the exotic Warlock helmet, Apotheosis Veil, featuring the Insatiable perk. Activating your Super grants immediate health, melee, grenade, and Rift energy regen for you and your allies. Afterward, your melee and grenade regen rate temporarily gets a significant boost. However, its high mobility stat might not appeal to everyone.
For Hunters, there’s the Aeon Swift gauntlets. They come with perks like Aeon’s Wrath and Foebreaker Chant, speeding up reload times and weapon swaps upon rapid precision hits. They’re a niche choice, not quite top-tier for meta strategies.
Titans can consider the Actium War Rig chest armor, which steadily reloads your Auto Rifle or Machine Gun from reserves, adding a moderate bonus to airborne effectiveness. Though it’s a decent roll, the high mobility distribution might not fit every playstyle.
In Year 7 of Destiny 2, Xur’s inventory has gotten a revamp. Not only does it include upgraded weapons and armor, but players can also acquire catalysts and other goodies like the Xurfboard vehicle, an exotic cipher, or even a Strange Gift for just one Strange Coin.
On the weapon front, Xur’s lineup includes Hawkmoon, The Huckleberry SMG, Lord of Wolves shotgun, and The Wardcliff Coil rocket launcher. The savviest Guardians will want to strategize their selections to enhance their arsenals effectively.
Finally, Xur’s striking presentation of Legendary Armor and Weapons is available for those wanting to optimize their gear collection. Priced at 50 Legendary Shards and 1000 Glimmer, choices include a range of weapons and the Kairos Function Armor Set, providing something for every Guardian to tackle their greatest foes.
As always, Destiny 2 offers a rich, immersive experience for its players. Whether you’re alone or with a fireteam, dive into its world of adventure, mystery, and combat to write your legend among the stars. Whether you’re drawn to the towering Titans, mystic Warlocks, or agile Hunters, there’s always a new challenge waiting in the expansive universe of Destiny 2.
