Key Takeaways
- Xur has brought new exotic and legendary gear to Destiny 2 for a limited time, including class exotic items.
- Exotic Weapons this week include the Wavesplitter, random rolled Hawkmoon, The Colony, and Sweet Business.
- Warlocks have access to the Claws of Ahamkara, Hunters can pick up the Wormhusk Crown, while Titans can purchase the Doom Fang Pauldron.
As a seasoned Guardian with countless hours spent traversing the cosmos, I must say that these exotic weapons and armor sets Xur is offering this week are nothing short of astounding. The Paracausal Shot on Hawkmoon, with its ability to grant stacks of Paracausal Charge for those final, decisive blows, is a sight to behold – a testament to the power that lies within the Last City’s arsenal.
Once more, Xur is back in Destiny 2, bringing along new exotic and legendary items for gamers to explore for a temporary period. This weekend is particularly exciting for fans of Xur as Bungie revealed that Destiny 2’s exotic class items will occasionally be on sale. As it’s the first weekend since the update that Xur has reappeared, the exotics can be acquired with random rolls for those who have completed the Dual Destiny mission. For players who haven’t, there’ll be an Exotic Cipher available instead.
As a seasoned Destiny 2 player with countless hours spent mastering various weapons, I can confidently say that this week’s update has been a breath of fresh air. The fix for the Graviton Lance issue was long overdue and much-needed. After experiencing the weapon’s rate of fire plummet following an accidental change, it felt like something was missing from my arsenal. But now, with Update 8.0.5.2, the problem has been addressed, and I can once again rely on the Graviton Lance to take down enemies effectively. It’s moments like these that remind me why I keep coming back to this game.
Just as anticipated, the vendor Xur has made an appearance over the weekend in Destiny 2, stocking a fresh assortment of exotic and legendary items. Here’s where you can find him this weekend, along with updates on his exotic cipher quest, and a rundown of all the exotic and legendary goods he’s offering from August 23, 2024.
Where is Xur?
Instead of searching for Xur on weekends, you can find him permanently residing at The Tower’s Bazaar now, eliminating the need for the hunt.
Because Bazaar lies between two fast travel locations, players have the freedom to choose either one as their entry point. Venture into the region where Ikora and Hawthorne are present, then seek out a small Ramen Shop situated near the back wall. With the shop in your sights, look for an alleyway to your right; that’s where Xur can be found.
Destiny 2 Class Armor and Exotic Cipher
Xur’s duties still involve providing weekly missions, exotics, and high-end equipment. These missions are crucial not just to buy an additional fated engram, but also to obtain legacy exotic gear from the Tower’s inventory. Players can secure a fresh cipher by finishing strikes or winning Crucible or Gambit matches. Earn extra points by playing with your clan members or taking on more difficult tasks.
Xur’s Exotic Armor
Claws of Ahamkara – Warlock gauntlets
Exotic Perks:
- The Whispers – Gain an additional melee charge. Powered melee final blows spawn an Orb of Power.
A fairly balanced roll for an exotic which doesn’t do anything very fancy. Having a second melee strike, especially with the ability to spawn an Orb of Power on a powered final, is a helpful tool.
Stat Values (65 Total):
- Mobility +10
- Resilience +12
- Recovery +12
- Discipline +14
- Intellect +6
- Strength +11
Wormhusk Crown – Hunter helmet
Exotic Perk:
- Burning Souls – Dodging gives a small health and shield bump.
Although it was highly efficient some time back, the Wormhusk Crown remains a solid choice for durability. Regrettably, its current roll is at the bottom among the available options this week, making it less attractive, as most Hunters probably already have a superior roll in their possession.
Stat Values (62 Total):
- Mobility +15
- Resilience +9
- Recovery +8
- Discipline +6
- Intellect +6
- Strength +18
Doom Fang Pauldron – Titan gauntlets
Exotic Perk:
- Horns of Doom – Defeating targets with Void damage has a chance to grant an escalating bonus to damage with Void weapons. Defeating targets with Void melee grants Super energy. While Sentinel Shield is active, defeating targets with melee attacks recharges Shield Throw, which extends your Super on hitting a target.
Compared to the Heart of Inmost Light from last week, this version seems slightly more equilibrated, although some players might still find the mobility stat a bit excessive. However, when combined with specific mods, it becomes more manageable. This week, it’s worth checking out for Void Titans.
Stat Values (68 total):
- Mobility +12
- Resilience +8
- Recovery +15
- Discipline +2
- Intellect +24
- Strength +7
