The pile of squid ink spaghetti, Xûr, is now live in Destiny 2 for the weekend until next week's reset. If you're looking to get you some shiny new Exotic armor or weapons for your Guardian, look no further.
Each week, Xûr has a random assortment of Exotic armor, one for each Guardian class, as well as a random Exotic Weapon and an Exotic Engram available for purchase. In addition to his Exotic wares, he's got a random collection of Legendary weapons and armor to deck out your Guardians.
We've rounded up all the info on Xûr for the week including where to find Xûr, which Exotic weapons and armor are available, as well as which Legendary weapons you should pick up, either for PvE or PvP.
Xûr's location can be found at The Tower on August 25 through August 29. To reach him, travel to the landing point at The Courtyard and make your way to the Hangar. Hang a left when entering the hangar and you'll come face-to-face with space Amazon.com.
Exotic Engram
Crimson - Exotic Hand Cannon
Gravitron Forfeit - Exotic Hunter Helmet
Synthoceps - Exotic Titan Gauntlets
Starfire Protocol - Exotic Warlock Chest Armor
There are some pretty mid exotic armor pieces this week. None of the rolls have stats in the right places, but if I had to pick one I guess you could do a lot worse than the Hunter helmet.
Hawkmoon - Exotic Hand Cannon
Dead Man's Tale - Exotic Scout Rifle
Hawkmoon's roll this week is just alright. Grab it if you need it, but I gotta assume a better one is right around the corner.
Sweet Sorrow - Auto Rifle
Tripwire Canary - Combat Bow
IKELOS_HC_V1.0.3 - Hand Cannon
Tarantula - Linear Fusion Rifle
Sailspy Pitchglass - Linear Fusion Rifle
Jian 7 Rifle - Pulse Rifle
Death Adder - Submachine Gun
My picks this week are Tripwire Canary with Frenzy and Archer's Tempo being a nice set of bow perks, and Death Adder for some hopefully accurate ballistic bursts.
For Warlocks, Xûr is selling the Holdfast set which includes:
Holdfast Gauntlets
Holdfast Chest Armor
Holdfast Helmet
Holdfast Leg Armor
Holdfast Bond
Warlocks have some great options this week, the best of which is the ultra-spiky boots. Honestly, any of these could do well in your collection.
For Titans, Xûr is selling the Holdfast set which includes:
Holdfast Gauntlets
Holdfast Chest Armor
Holdfast Helmet
Holdfast Leg Armor
Holdfast Mark
Despite some high stat totals for many of these pieces, none of them have favorable distributions, so probably not a good week to buy something, unfortunately.
For Hunters, Xûr is selling the Holdfast set which includes:
Holdfast Gauntlets
Holdfast Chest Armor
Holdfast Helmet
Holdfast Leg Armor
Holdfast Cloak
Like Warlocks, Hunters have plenty of good options to choose from! Any of these could do well in your collection. If you're a Hunter who cares about Mobility, then the boots are the best option. Otherwise, I'd suggest the helmet.
That's a wrap on Xûr for this week, Guardians! What do you think of Season of the Witch so far? Let us know in the comments! For more on Destiny, check out our review of Destiny 2: Lightfall and read about how Sony's purchase of Bungie fits into its larger plans.
