The potpourri creature, 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 7 through July 11. 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
Cold Heart - Exotic Trace Rifle
Wormhusk Crown - Exotic Hunter Helmet
Stronghold - Exotic Titan Gauntlets
Wings of Sacred Dawn - Exotic Warlock Chest Armor
These are all some pretty decent high-stat exotics, but the Titan gauntlets take the cake with an incredible roll that's got stats in all the right places -- definitely pick that one up, Titans!
Hawkmoon - Exotic Hand Cannon
Dead Man's Tale - Exotic Scout Rifle
Both of these rolls are pretty okay this week, with Dead Man's Tale having the very good Vorpal Weapon perk, though Ricochet Rounds brings my enthusiasm down a bit.
Whispering Slab - Combat Bow
Cold Denial - Pulse Rifle
Hoosegow - Rocket Launcher
Night Watch - Scout Rifle
Fractethyst - Shotgun
Extraordinary Rendition - Submachine Gun
Path of Least Resistance - Trace Rifle
My picks this week are Hoosegow with Auto Loading and Cluster Bombs (great for add clear, or even PvP), Night Watch with Outlaw and Multikill Clip (pew pew), and Extraordinary Rendition with Overflow and Tap The Trigger to keep the DPS coming. Nothing is a God Roll this week, but those at least aren't half bad.
For Warlocks, Xûr is selling the Ketchkiller set which includes:
Ketchkiller's Gauntlets
Ketchkiller's Chest Armor
Ketchkiller's Helmet
Ketchkiller's Leg Armor
Ketchkiller's Bond
Warlocks got absolutely hoodwinked this week with some of the worst armor stats I've seen in a long time. Our Xur appears to be up to his old tricks.
For Titans, Xûr is selling the Ketchkiller set which includes:
Ketchkiller's Gauntlets
Ketchkiller's Chest Armor
Ketchkiller's Helmet
Ketchkiller's Leg Armor
Ketchkiller's Mark
Titans were bamboozled as well, with some really bad armor -- do not buy this!
For Hunters, Xûr is selling the Ketchkiller set which includes:
Ketchkiller's Gauntlets
Ketchkiller's Chest Armor
Ketchkiller's Helmet
Ketchkiller's Leg Armor
Ketchkiller's Cloak
Hunters bring it home with some awful armor to solidify a quite poor showing this week from Xur where armor is concerned. Boo, Xur! Do better!
That's a wrap on Xûr for this week, Guardians! Did you jump into the new exotic mission this week? 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.
