Destiny 2: Xur Exotic Armor, Weapon, and Recommendations for May 30

by

Summary

  • Xur is back in Destiny 2 with new gear for players to explore for a limited time.
  • For exotic armor, Xur has Heart of Inmost Light, Nezarec’s Sin, and Graviton Forfeit.
  • Xur’s exotic weapons include a new Hawkmoon, The Jade Rabbit, Hard Light, and The Colony.

Once more, Xur has made an appearance in the world of Destiny 2, offering fresh exotic and legendary items for players to explore over a limited period. The upcoming days will see the continuation of the Rite of the Nine event within Destiny 2, with Prophecy assuming the spotlight as the highlighted dungeon for the subsequent fortnight. Following this, all three dungeons will be accessible, along with increased currency rates, until the grand “lootapalooza” in July.

Beyond the Rite of Nine event, excitement mounts for Destiny 2’s forthcoming expansion titled Edge of Fate. Bungie keeps hinting that there are more revelations to come, which is why they have scheduled two live streams to exhibit some of these new systems and elements. Players eager to catch a glimpse can tune in on June 24 and July 1 at 10am Pacific Time.

Currently, the enigmatic merchant Xur has resurfaced once more, offering fresh loot for enthusiasts of Destiny 2. Here’s where you can find him this weekend, along with updates on his exotic cipher quest and an overview of all the exotic and legendary items he’s stocked for the weekend of May 30, 2025.

Where is Xur?

Now, Xur is permanently settled within The Tower’s Bazaar region. This means you can visit him any day of the week without needing to hunt for him during weekends.

Because the Marketplace sits in the middle of both rapid travel spots, players have the option to choose either one as their entry point. Navigate to the area where Ikora and Hawthorne are usually found socializing, then search for the Ramen Shop positioned against the back wall. With the shop facing you, the covert passageway leading to Xur can be found on the right side.

Destiny 2 Exotic Class Armor

Over time, Xur’s responsibilities have grown and evolved. With the introduction of The Final Shape expansion, Xur’s offerings in Destiny 2 significantly increased. Once again, Strange Coins became the preferred currency, while he also started providing rank rewards, resources, not to mention armor and weapons.

Nezarec’s Sin – Warlock helmet

Exotic Perks:

  • – Void-damage kills increase ability energy recharge rate.

Instead of advocating this specific Void exotic, I’d hesitate due to its excessive Mobility score which may not be beneficial for Warlock users since it isn’t particularly helpful in their gameplay.

Stat Values (66 Total):

  • Mobility +28
  • Resilience +3
  • Recovery +3
  • Discipline +15
  • Intellect +10
  • Strength +7

Graviton Forfeit – Hunter helmet

Exotic Perk:

  • – Increases the duration of any invisibility effects. While you are invisible, your melee recharges faster, your weapons reload faster, and your Recovery is greatly increased.

An easy recommendation this week for those who don’t have it or perhaps want a better roll.

Stat Values (67 Total):

  • Mobility +3
  • Resilience +16
  • Recovery +16
  • Discipline +2
  • Intellect +10
  • Strength +20

Heart of Inmost Light – Titan chest armor

Exotic Perk:

  • – Using an ability (grenade, melee, or Barricade) empowers the other two abilities. Empowered means abilities have faster regen, melees and grenades do more damage, and Barricades have more hit points.

A potent non-class-specific PvE exotic weapon, capable of significantly enhancing a player’s skills. Unfortunately, its standout feature this week is its relatively low roll, making it the least impressive among the three available items.

Stat Values (65 total):

  • Mobility +8
  • Resilience +7
  • Recovery +20
  • Discipline +10
  • Intellect +10
  • Strength +10

Xur Inventory Items

In Destiny 2’s Year 7, Xur’s inventory has been updated significantly. It now includes a proper rank progression system, rewards, and customization options. Additionally, Xur offers more than just weapons and armor; he also provides additional items such as:

  • Coldheart Catalyst
  • Traveler’s Chosen Catalyst
  • The Xurfboard (Skimmer Board Vehicle)
  • Essentialism/Stoicism/Solipsism OR Exotic Cipher
  • Exotic Engram
  • Enhancement Prism
  • Glimmer
  • Enhancement Core
  • Raid Banner
  • Strange Gift (Random Item for 1 Strange Coin)

Xur’s Exotic Weapons

This weekend, the Year 7 update for Xur includes a new feature that lets him offer various exotic weapons during a single encounter. Here’s what Xur is offering right now:

Hawkmoon – Hand Cannon

  • – Final blows and precision hits with Hawkmoon grant stacks of Paracausal Charge. The final round in the magazine deals bonus damage based on the number of stacks. Stowing Hawkmoon on the final round removes this bonus.

Hard Light – Auto Rifle

  • – Rounds fired from this weapon have reduced damage falloff, overpenetrate targets, and ricochet off hard surfaces. Projectile damage increases after bounce.
  • – Holding reload changes this weapon’s damage type, cycling between Void, Arc, and Solar. Grants this weapon temporarily increased damage when you apply or gain an elemental buff or debuff that matches this weapon’s damage type.

The Jade Rabbit – Scout Rifle

  • – Chain precision shots to gain bonus damage on your next body shot and return ammo to the mag.
  • – Causing damage with this weapon reduces recoil and flinch over time.

The Colony – Grenade Launcher

  • – This weapon’s grenades are insectoid robots that chase targets and explode close to them. Consumes tougher combatants to create additional robots.
  • – Insectoid robot grenades quickly repopulate the magazine from reserves while the Colony is unequipped.

Xur’s Destiny 2 Legendary Armor and Weapons

Xur’s Set of Legendary Armor and Weapons. All gear costs 50 Legendary Shards and 1000 Glimmer.

  • Escape Velocity (Kinetic Submachine Gun)
  • True Prophecy (Kinetic Hand Cannon)
  • Pleiades Corrector (Energy Scout Rifle)
  • Annual Skate (Energy Hand Cannon)
  • Thin Precipice (Heavy Sword)
  • Canis Major (Heavy Grenade Launcher)
  • Crown-Splitter/Quickfang/Eternity’s Edge (Heavy Sword)
  • Strange Weapon Engram
  • Veiled Tithes Armor Set
