Destiny 2: Xur Exotic Armor, Weapon, and Recommendations for November 8

Key Takeaways

  • Xur is back in Destiny 2 with new exotic and legendary gear for limited time, located permanently in the Bazaar area.
  • For armor this week, Xur has Stronghold, Foetracer, and Ophidian Aspect.
  • Alongside a new Hawkmoon roll, Xur’s weapons include Hard Light, Arbalest, and The Colony.

As a seasoned Guardian with countless hours spent traversing the cosmos and battling the dark forces that threaten our existence, I must say that this week’s offerings from Xur, the enigmatic vendor, have certainly piqued my interest.

Once more, Xur is back in Destiny 2, offering fresh exotic and legendary equipment for fans to explore temporarily. This week’s update has solved the annoying weapon perk weighting bug, resolving the problem where specific perks wouldn’t drop. As a token of appreciation to the community, Bungie has prepared some surprises for players, such as double drops with Vesper’s Host and free god rolls for all Destiny 2 gamers.

Regarding Destiny 2’s Episode Revenant, Bungie has scheduled a fresh developer livestream on November 12th. Much like the preview event during Episode: Echoes, players will get a sneak peek at Act 2’s content, including story snippets, new weapons and gear, an in-depth exploration of the upcoming activity, and more. Notably, viewers watching live on Twitch can earn a unique engram as a bonus.

During this interval, the merchant Xur has returned once more with a fresh selection of exotic and legendary items tailored for Destiny 2 enthusiasts. Here’s a guide to help you find his current whereabouts, along with updates on his exotic cipher quest, as well as an overview of all the exotic and legendary loot he’s brought for the weekend commencing November 8, 2024.

Where is Xur?

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

Because the Marketplace sits in the middle of the two fast travel spots, players have the freedom to choose either one as their entry point. Make your way to the spot where Ikora and Hawthorne are visible, then search for the Ramen Shop positioned near the back wall. With the shop facing you, the alley can be found on your right-hand side; that’s where Xur is currently stationed.

Destiny 2 Class Armor and Exotic Cipher

Each week, Xur carries on providing the standard quests, exotics, and legendary items. These tasks are crucial not only for obtaining a second fated engram but also for procuring legacy exotic equipment from the Tower’s kiosk. Players can secure a fresh cipher by accomplishing strikes or winning Crucible or Gambit matches. Extra points are awarded for teaming up with clan members or tackling more difficult activities.

Xur’s Exotic Armor

Destiny 2: Xur Exotic Armor, Weapon, and Recommendations for November 8

Ophidian Aspect – Warlock Gauntlets

Exotic Perk:

  • Cobra Totemic – Weapons ready and reload very quickly. Provides a small benefit to the airborne effectiveness stat of all weapons.

As a gamer, I gotta say this ain’t gonna blow everyone’s mind, but for me, it’s quite useful. It doesn’t offer the thrilling perks that some newer game additions do, but when it comes to activities like the Crucible, it shines. Improved weapon readiness and faster reload speed can mean the gap between victory and a quick game over screen. So, despite its lack of flashy features, it’s a reliable ally in tight spots.

Stat Values (66 Total):

  • Mobility +7
  • Resilience +6
  • Recovery +21
  • Discipline +2
  • Intellect +23
  • Strength +7

Foetracer – Hunter helmet

Exotic Perk:

  • Relentless Tracker – Damaging a powerful combatant or Guardian with an ability temporarily increases weapon damage of the same type. Defeating that marked target with damage that matches the element creates an elemental pickup.

Among the exotics available this week, this one stands out as the most valuable option, particularly appealing to Crucible hunter gamers.

Stat Values (65 Total):

  • Mobility +20
  • Resilience +7
  • Recovery +6
  • Discipline +6
  • Intellect +6
  • Strength +20

Stronghold – Titan gauntlets

Exotic Perk:

  • Clenched Fist – Maximizes guard stats on equipped Swords. You take reduced damage while blocking with a Sword. Rapidly damaging targets after blocking shots with a Sword grants restoration for a duration determined by the number of shots blocked.

This sword has an exotic status, making it optional; however, its high mobility may not benefit Titan characters as much due to its low effectiveness in their stats. Prospective buyers are advised to exercise caution.

Stat Values (66 total):

  • Mobility +16
  • Resilience +8
  • Recovery +12
  • Discipline +10
  • Intellect +6
  • Strength +14
