The talking grab bag, 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 July 21 through July 25. 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
Black Talon - Exotic Sword
Lucky Pants - Exotic Hunter Helmet
Synthoceps - Exotic Titan Gauntlets
Getaway Artist - Exotic Warlock Gauntlets
The Titan gauntlets have an impressively high stat total, but unfortunately a lot of that is in Mobility. Still, an impressive enough feat to consider picking up. The others? Not so much.
Hawkmoon - Exotic Hand Cannon
Dead Man's Tale - Exotic Scout Rifle
Nothing to get super excited about with these exotic weapon rolls this week. Mid at best, and not great at all at worst. Probably an easy skip!
Iota Draconis - Fusion Rifle
Nature of the Beast - Hand Cannon
Threaded Needle - Linear Fusion Rifle
Disparity - Pulse Rifle
Tears of Contrition - Scout Rifle
Seventh Seraph CQC-12 - Shotgun
Eternity's Edge/Crown-Splitter/Quickfang
My picks this week are Threaded Needle, Nature of the Beast, and Seventh Seraph CQC-12. The linear fusion's got Rangefinder and Vorpal, which can be good for boss encounter DPS, the hand cannon's got Snapshot Sights and Rangefinder (good in certain PvP builds), and the shotgun has Quickdraw and Vorpal Weapon, which might also be good for boss DPS depending on the encounter.
For Warlocks, Xûr is selling the Tusked Allegiance set which includes:
Tusked Allegiance Gauntlets
Tusked Allegiance Chest Armor
Tusked Allegiance Helmet
Tusked Allegiance Leg Armor
Tusked Allegiance Bond
Another absolutely terrible set of armor rolls for Warlocks this week. Don't buy these, folks.
For Titans, Xûr is selling the Tusked Allegiance set which includes:
Tusked Allegiance Gauntlets
Tusked Allegiance Chest Armor
Tusked Allegiance Helmet
Tusked Allegiance Leg Armor
Tusked Allegiance Mark
Bad armor, Titans. Real bad. Don't do it.
For Hunters, Xûr is selling the Tusked Allegiance set which includes:
Tusked Allegiance Gauntlets
Tusked Allegiance Chest Armor
Tusked Allegiance Helmet
Tusked Allegiance Leg Armor
Tusked Allegiance Cloak
Hunters confirm an absolutely dreadful legendary armor week. Not sure what's going on with our robed boy, but he needs to get in the Solstice spirit right quick.
That's a wrap on Xûr for this week, Guardians! Have your tried our Solstice of Heroes this year yet? 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.
