Summary
Xur has returned again toDestiny 2, complete with new exotic and legendary gear for players to check out for a limited time. It’s a new week for the game and theDestiny 2’s Rite of the Nine eventcontinues on by making Prophecy as the featured dungeon for the next two weeks. Next week will see an increased resource drop rate, though it gets more interesting after that with all three dungeons coming back as well as a “lootapalooza” event coming in July.
This week also brought anewDestiny 2updatefor players to download, putting an end to a variety of issues and bugs still impacting the game. The June update makes adjustments to a few weapons, fixes an annoying bug with Rite of the NIne, as well as making the Seeker of the Nine Triumph a bit easier to complete, which will, in turn, make the Eternal title faster to achieve for some.
In the meantime, the exotic merchant Xur has returned with a new inventory of gear forDestiny 2players. Follow this guide for his current weekend location, news on his exotic cipher quest, as well as a review of all the exotic and legendary gear he’s brought for the weekend of May 13, 2025.
Where is Xur?
Xur has taken up permanent residence in the Bazaar area inside The Tower, so there’s no more hunting needed when the weekend comes around.
Since the Bazaar is located between both fast travel points, players can pick either one to load into. Head into the area where Ikora and Hawthorne are hanging out and look for the Ramen Shop towards the back wall. While facing the shop, the alley hiding Xur is to the right.
Destiny 2 Exotic Class Armor
Xur’s role has continued to expand and evolve over the years. Alongside The Final Shape expansion,Xur’s inventory inDestiny 2expanded even more, moving back to Strange Coins as the currency of choice and features rank rewards, resources, and of course, armor and weapons.
Astrocyte Verse - Warlock helmet
Exotic Perks:
We’ve finally reached 70! The unfortunate bit here is that the Mobility stat is a little higher than most Warlocks would like, but still, its worth a grab, especially for you PvP Voidwalkers.
Oathkeeper - Hunter gauntlets
Exotic Perk:
An tough recommendation this week even for Bow users. There are just better options out there currently. However, a case can be made for this one because the roll is pretty even across the board, so it might be worth picking up to replace a worse roll or collection version.
An Insurmountable Skullfort - Titan helmet
Not only does this have the lowest roll this week, Mobility is the highest value, which makes it a very hard item to recommend. Pass on this one.
Stat Values (63 total):
