Destiny 2: Xur Exotic Armor, Weapon, and Recommendations for August 1

by

Xur, the merchant, is back once more in Destiny 2, bringing fresh exotic and legendary items up for grabs temporarily. The ongoing Arms Week in Destiny 2 invites players to pursue new versions of the Ribbontail trace rifle and Phoneutria Fera hand cannon, along with the Holofoil variants, until it concludes a few days more.

The first week of Arms Week concludes next Tuesday, but don’t worry, fans of Destiny 2 won’t have much time to wait before the next event kicks off. Bungie has unveiled an updated version of the Solstice event, which appears to have replaced the usual Bonfire Bash activity. This new event promises new armor sets and other rewards, along with the opportunity to play the Solstice Scorched Crucible mode and take advantage of solar-themed modifiers for the Portal.

On weekends at last, the trader Xur has returned with fresh stock for Destiny 2 enthusiasts! Here is your guide to discover his location this weekend, updates on his exotic cipher quest, and a rundown of all the exotic and legendary items he’s brought for August 1, 2025.

Where is Xur?

Now, you can find Xur residing permanently within The Tower’s Bazaar region, eliminating the need for any weekend questing to locate him.

Because the Marketplace lies smack in the middle of both rapid transit spots, players have the flexibility to choose either one as an entry point. Make your way to the spot where Ikora and Hawthorne are hanging out, then search for the Ramen Shop tucked away at the rear wall. With the shop directly ahead of you, the alley where Xur can be found is off to the right side.

Destiny 2 Class Armor

From the Edge of Fate expansion onwards, Xur’s responsibilities in the Tower have grown a tad. Unlike before, he no longer offers legendary armor, but has broadened his exotic wares by dealing out two pieces of gear for each class every week. You can still find Xur’s updated inventory, which is now part of Destiny 2’s Tower Bazaar.
