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

by

Key Takeaways

  • Xur is back in Destiny 2 this weekend with all sort of exotic and legendary gear.
  • Exotic armor includes Synthoceps, class armor items, Aeon Swift, and Apotheosis Veil.
  • Xur’s inventory includes exotic weapons like Hawkmoon, The Huckleberry, Graviton Lance, D.A.R.C.I.

As a seasoned Guardian with countless hours spent traversing the cosmos, I must say that these weapons and armor sets Xur has brought this week are truly a sight for sore eyes.

Once more, I’ve eagerly welcomed the arrival of Xur in my Destiny 2 universe! He’s brought an array of fresh exotic and legendary loot that I can’t wait to explore, but only for a limited period. As part of this week’s Festival of the Lost event in Destiny 2, I’ve been immersed in the spooky atmosphere, gathering pages and conquering Haunted Sectors just like before. But there’s a twist! Alongside enhanced perks on existing Festival weapons, a brand-new Heavy Burst arc shotgun called Arcane Embrace has appeared.

It’s almost certain that for numerous participants in this year’s Festival event, the major announcement is that players can now buy exotic class items in Destiny 2 without needing to complete Dual Destiny. This is possible if you own The Final Shape expansion, have at least one Eerie Engram and 2500 candies. With these prerequisites met, a random exotic item can be purchased directly from Eva, which will also unlock Xur’s inventory and Overthrow chests.

During the festival, merchant Xur is back again, offering a fresh assortment of exotic and legendary items tailored for Destiny 2 players. 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 has in store from November 1, 2024.

Where is Xur?

Now, Xur has settled down permanently within the Bazaar region of The Tower, which means you no longer need to search for him during weekends.

Because the Marketplace lies between two rapid travel spots, players have the freedom to select either one as their entrance. Navigate towards the spot where Ikora and Hawthorne are positioned, then search for the Ramen Shop situated near the rear wall. With the shop in front of you, the alleyway where Xur stands is located to your right side.

Destiny 2 Class Armor and Exotic Cipher

Each week, Xur carries on providing the regular quests, exotics, and top-tier gear. These tasks are essential not only to get a second fated engram but also to procure legacy exotic equipment from the Tower’s kiosk. Players can obtain a fresh cipher by accomplishing strikes or triumphing in Crucible or Gambit matches. Earn extra points by teaming up with clan members or tackling more difficult activities.

Xur’s Exotic Armor

Apotheosis Veil – Warlock helmet

Exotic Perk:

  • Insatiable – Immediately regenerate health, melee, grenade, and Rift energy for you and your nearby allies upon activating your Super. After your Super ends, temporarily gain greatly increased melee and grenade regen.

This week’s roll for Warlocks is exceptionally favorable, boasting a maximum stat, but unfortunately, the boost is in Mobility, which has significantly diminished the other crucial attributes. Consequently, this piece of equipment is challenging to endorse due to its unfavorable distribution.

Stat Values (67 Total):

  • Mobility +30
  • Resilience +3
  • Recovery +3
  • Discipline +10
  • Intellect +19
  • Strength +2

Aeon Swift – Hunter gauntlets

Exotic Perk:

  • Aeon’s Wrath – Rapid precision hits with a weapon temporarily increase reload speed and weapon swap speed.
  • Foebreaker Chant – Stunning a Champion or landing rapid precision hits on a powerful combatant will mark them. Your allies deal increased damage to marked combatants. When a combatant is first marked, nearby Aeon Cult allies who do not have the Sect of Force role equipped gain grenade and melee energy.

They may have improved, but they’re unlikely to surpass newer or currently popular choices within the game’s meta.

Stat Values (66 Total):

  • Mobility +11
  • Resilience +11
  • Recovery +12
  • Discipline +2
  • Intellect +20
  • Strength +10

Synthoceps – Titan gauntlets

Exotic Perk:

  • Biotic Enhancements – When you’re surrounded, gain increased melee and Super damage, as well as improved weapon handling and reload speed.

In practical terms, the Titans come out on top when it comes to effective rolls, despite having the weakest overall stats. Additionally, Synthoceps are reliable, making them an excellent choice this week.

Stat Values (65 total):

  • Mobility +2
  • Resilience +19
  • Recovery +13
  • Discipline +15
  • Intellect +14
  • Strength +2
