Summary
Xur has returned again toDestiny 2, complete with new exotic and legendary gear for players to check out for a limited time. The frustrating weapon perk weighting bug has finally been eliminated with this week’s update, putting an end to an issue where certain rolls just wouldn’t drop. As a way of saying thank you to the community, Bungie has planned a few things for players, including double drops with Vesper’s Host andfree god rolls for allDestiny 2players.
In terms of Episode Revenant, Bungie also announced a newDestiny 2developer livestream for November 12. Similar to what the developer did during Episode: Echoes, players can get an early look at what’s coming in Act 2, including bits of narrative, all the new weapons and loot, as well as a deep dive into the upcoming activity as well. Plus, for those watching on Twitch, there’s an opportunity to unlock a special engram.
In the meantime, the weekend merchant Xur is back with a new inventory of exotics and legendary gear forDestiny 2players. Follow this guide for his current weekend location, news on his exotic cipher quest, as well as a review of all the exotic and legendary gear he’s brought for the weekend of May 22, 2025.
Where is Xur?
Xur has now taken up permanent residence in the Bazaar area inside The Tower, so there’s no more hunting when the weekend comes around.
Since the Bazaar is located between both fast travel points, players can pick either one to load into. Head into the area where Ikora and Hawthorne are and look for the Ramen Shop towards the back wall. While facing the shop, the alley is to the right, where Xur is standing.
Destiny 2 Class Armor and Exotic Cipher
Xur’s role continues to offer the usual weekly quests, exotics, and legendary gear. Not only are these quests required to purchase a second fated engram, but they’re necessary toacquire legacy exotic gear from the Tower kiosk. Players can earn a new cipher by completing strikes and winning crucible or gambit matches. Gain bonus points for playing with clan mates or finishing more challenging activities.
Ophidian Aspect - Warlock Gauntlets
Exotic Perk:
This isn’t going to be an exotic for everyone, as the benefits are fairly uninspired compared to some of the more recent additions to the game. However, it’s really good at what it does and could make a good companion for activities like the Crucible where readying weapons and reload speed can be the difference between living or seeing the loading screen.
Foetracer - Hunter helmet
While technically the lowest rolled exotic, this is also the only one that’s really worth investing in this week, especially for Crucible hunter players.
Stronghold - Titan gauntlets
This is a sword only exotic so it can be completely ignored otherwise. It’s also high in mobility, which isn’t a great stat for Titans, so buyer beware.
