Destiny 2: Xur Exotic Armor, Weapon, and Recommendations for November 15

by

Key Takeaways

  • Xur returns to Destiny 2 with new legendary, exotic, and resources for players.
  • Exotic weapons this weekend include Borealis, a new Hawkmoon roll, Thunderlord, and Crimson.
  • For exotic armor, Xur is featuring Transversive Steps, Aeon Swift, and Severance Enclosure.

As a seasoned Guardian with countless hours spent traversing the cosmos, I must say that Xur’s inventory this week is nothing short of intriguing! The hand cannons Crimson and Hawkmoon, each with their unique perks, are reminiscent of old times when these were the go-to weapons for many of us.

Once more, Xur is back in Destiny 2, bringing fresh exotic and legendary loot for players to explore temporarily. The Act 1 interlude is nearing its conclusion, paving the way for Act 2 on November 19th. Moreover, players should hurry to complete any remaining Festival of the Lost tasks within Destiny 2 as the spooky event will conclude at next week’s reset.

As I delve deeper into the thrilling saga of Episode: Revenant’s Act 2, I can’t help but feel the excitement brewing with the arrival of a massive midseason update. It seems like Capcom and Bungie have teamed up for an exciting Street Fighter collaboration that promises to spice up my gaming experience!

At present, the enigmatic vendor Xur has returned once more, offering a fresh assortment of exotics and legendary items tailored for Destiny 2 enthusiasts. This guide will provide you with his current whereabouts this weekend, updates on his exotic cipher quest, and an overview of all the exotic and legendary gear he’s brought for the weekend commencing November 15, 2024.

Where is Xur?

Instead of searching for Xur on weekends, you can now find him permanently settled within The Tower’s Bazaar district, eliminating the need to hunt for him.

As the Bazaar sits smack in the middle of two fast travel spots, players have the freedom to choose either one as their entry point. Navigate your way to the region shared by Ikora and Hawthorne, then seek out the Ramen Shop nestled against the back wall. With the shop ahead of you, the alley where Xur usually stands can be found to your right side.

Destiny 2 Class Armor and Exotic Cipher

Each week, Xur carries on providing the standard quests, exotics, and top-tier gear. These tasks are essential not only to buy a second fated engram but also to secure legacy exotic equipment from the Tower’s kiosk. Players can collect a fresh cipher by finishing strikes or winning Crucible or Gambit matches. Earn extra points for teaming up with fellow clan members or conquering tougher challenges.

Xur’s Exotic Armor

Transversive Steps – Warlock leg armor

Exotic Perk:

  • Strange Protractor – Sprint speed increased. After a short time sprinting, your currently equipped weapon is automatically reloaded.

A very steep climb that experiences an unexpected increase in difficulty due to mobility challenges. However, since these exotic weapons are designed for running, having a high level of agility might not be entirely detrimental. Although better alternatives exist, the self-reloading feature after sprinting can prove useful in most situations.

Stat Values (69 Total):

  • Mobility +21
  • Resilience +6
  • Recovery +8
  • Discipline +6
  • Intellect +12
  • Strength +16

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.

After a week’s break, it’s returned, but nothing new has occurred. The total amount has increased somewhat compared to earlier this month, yet it remains non-essential.

Stat Values (67 Total):

  • Mobility +3
  • Resilience +15
  • Recovery +15
  • Discipline +2
  • Intellect +12
  • Strength +20

Severance Enclosure – Titan chest armor

Exotic Perk:

  • Spheromatik Trigger – Powered melee final blows unleash a damaging explosion. Finishers and final blows against more powerful targets increase the radius and damage of the explosion.

In Episode: Revenant, it seems less enjoyable to play with compared to the leading choices, given its exotic nature.

Stat Values (67 total):

  • Mobility +10
  • Resilience +12
  • Recovery +12
  • Discipline +6
  • Intellect +17
  • Strength +10

Xur Inventory Items

This weekend, the redesign of Xur in Year 7 now allows for the offering of several exotic weapons during a single visit. Here are the exotic items Xur currently has available:

Hawkmoon – Hand Cannon

  • Ionic Return – Breaking a combatant’s shield—or the shield of a Guardian using a Super—with the matched damage type refills the magazine from reserves and grants bonus damage rounds. Breaking a combatant’s shield with a matched damage type Ionic Return round refreshes the perk.
  • The Fundamentals – Holding reload changes this weapon’s damage type, cycling between Solar, Arc, and Void. Grants different stats based on your selected damage type.
  • Corkscrew Rifling
  • Extended Mag
  • Hand-Laid Stock

Thunderlord – Machine Gun

  • Reign Havoc – Final blows with this weapon generate stunning lighting strikes from above. Strong against Overload Champions.
