The talking stack of pancakes, Xur, 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 29 through October 2. 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
Telesto - Exotic Fusion Rifle
Aeon Swift - Exotic Hunter Gauntlets
Ursa Furiosa - Exotic Titan Gauntlets
Getaway Artist - Exotic Warlock Gauntlets
Titans have one of the best exotic rolls I've seen Xur deliver, with low Mobility, high Resilience, and high stat totals in general -- plus, it certainly helps that Ursa Furiosa is one of the most indispensible Titan exotics ever to grace Destiny 2. Hunters also have a dang good roll, though probably only for the swift Hunters among us, and Warlocks are sitting pretty too, with high Resilience and Intellect on Getaway Artist.
Hawkmoon - Exotic Hand Cannon
The Hawkmoon roll this week is pretty darn good! Anytime we get Opening Shot on this weapon, I immediately become 200% more interested in picking it up, so we've done pretty well for ourselves here.
Sailspy Pitchglass - Linear Fusion Rifle
Recurrent Impact - Machine Gun
IKELOS-SG_V1.0.3 - Shotgun
Lonesome - Sidearm
Farewell - Sidearm
Brigand's Law - Sidearm
Extraordinary Rendition - Submachine Gun
My top picks this week are the Ikelos shotgun (with subsistence and trench barrel for some fun close-quarters mayhem), the Sailspy Pitchglass linear fusion rifle (with Outlaw and Vorpal Weapon, which one imagines would be useful in a raid boss encounter situation), and the Lonesome sidearm (with Rapid Hit and Opening Shot that are always a good combo).
For Warlocks, Xûr is selling the Anti-Extinction set which includes:
Anti-Extinction Gauntlets
Anti-Extinction Chest Armor
Anti-Extinction Helmet
Anti-Extinction Leg Armor
Anti-Extinction Bond
Warlocks have some decent rolls this week, though none of them are terribly spikey. Overall, this selection is inoffensive and may help you round out some builds, but nothing too crazy. Pick through it at your leisure, like browsing through a thrift shop.
For Titans, Xûr is selling the Anti-Extinction set which includes:
Anti-Extinction Gauntlets
Anti-Extinction Chest Armor
Anti-Extinction Helmet
Anti-Extinction Leg Armor
Anti-Extinction Mark
Titans have a few decent pieces this week, like the chestpiece, but with nothing spikey or particularly interesting about them, they're all sorta mid. Snag something if you need it, but it's all probably a pass this week for us Titans.
For Hunters, Xûr is selling the Anti-Extinction set which includes:
Anti-Extinction Gauntlets
Anti-Extinction Chest Armor
Anti-Extinction Helmet
Anti-Extinction Leg Armor
Anti-Extinction Cloak
Hunters did slightly better with a few good pieces, like the boots and the helmet, with high stat totals and some spikiness here and there, but nothing God-tier, certainly.
That's a wrap on Xûr for this week, Guardians! Have you been able to defeat Destiny's latest raid boss: their DDOS'd servers? 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.
