The humanoid shmear, 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 Winding Cove in the EDZ on September 15 through September 19. To reach him, travel to the landing point at Winding Cove. When you arrive, make for the rock cliffs at the far end of the cove and look for a cave winding up to a platform next to some Fallen. There you'll find the retail monster who inspires us all.
Exotic Engram
Trinity Ghoul - Exotic Combat Bow
Young Ahamkara's Spine - Exotic Hunter Gauntlets
Crest of Alpha Lupi - Exotic Titan Chest Armor
Getaway Artist - Exotic Warlock Gauntlets
Titans most definitely have the best exotic armor roll this week with a very high stat total on their chestpiece and sky high Strength. Warlocks also have a piece that's worth checking out, especially since it's got such delightfully low Mobility!
Hawkmoon - Exotic Hand Cannon
Not an amazing Hawkmoon roll this week, so you'd be best served to wait and see if he offers a better one down the road.
Iota Draconis - Fusion Rifle
Interference VI - Grenade Launcher
Hoosegow - Rocket Launcher
Tears of Contrition - Scout Rifle
Seventh Seraph SI-2 - Sidearm
Extraordinary Rendition - Submachine Gun
Hollow Denial - Trace Rifle
My top picks this week are the Tears of Contrition scout rifle with Triple Tap and Explosive Payload (can't go wrong with those) and Interference VI with Spike Grenades and Swashbuckler (even if Grave Robber is a bit of a waste).
For Warlocks, Xûr is selling the Simulator set which includes:
Simulator Gauntlets
Simulator Chest Armor
Simulator Helmet
Simulator Leg Armor
Simulator Bond
Everything is worth considering this week for the Warlocks, except the boots, which have high Mobility combined with a low stat total. The other three pieces are all worth checking out though, including the helmet, which combines low Mobility and high Resilience, even if the stat total isn't amazing.
For Titans, Xûr is selling the Simulator set which includes:
Simulator Gauntlets
Simulator Chest Armor
Simulator Helmet
Simulator Leg Armor
Simulator Mark
The only really worthwhile roll this week for Titans are the gauntlets -- everything else has far too high Mobility for any of my punchy brethren to really get excited about.
For Hunters, Xûr is selling the Simulator set which includes:
Simulator Gauntlets
Simulator Chest Armor
Simulator Helmet
Simulator Leg Armor
Simulator Cloak
Hunters got what's probably the best roll this week overall with the gauntlets, which have a high stat total and spikiness in all the right places.
That's a wrap on Xûr for this week, Guardians! What did you think of season of the Witch's major story beat this week? Let us know in the comments! For more on Destiny, check out some of the new weapons and gear you can find in Lightfall or our walkthrough of Lightfall's campaign.
