by

Summary

  • Xur is back in Destiny 2 with new gear for players to explore for a limited time.
  • For exotic armor, Xur has Actium War Rig, Contraverse Hold, and Mechaneer’s Tricksleeves.
  • Xur’s exotic weapons include a new Hawkmoon, Vigilance Wing, The Prospector, and Lord of Wolves.

Once more, Xur has made an appearance in Destiny 2, bringing along fresh exotic and legendary items for players to explore temporarily. Coinciding with last week’s Destiny 2 Weekly Reset, Act 3 of Episode Heresy has been unveiled, offering the initial portion of the concluding chapters of this tale.

In Act 3, there’s an exciting prospect of ongoing updates starting from May 6th. This includes a return of the SUnless Cell strike from the original Destiny, as well as the final catalysts for the Barrow-Dyad exotic SMG. Furthermore, Bungie plans to introduce the completed version of Destiny 2’s Rite of the Nine activity, which will feature remixed dungeons and rewards upon completion.

On Fridays, there’s a regular refresh, marking the arrival of Xur, the mysterious vendor, back in Destiny 2. This week’s edition includes updates on his whereabouts for the weekend, insights into his exotic cipher quest, and a rundown of all the exotic and legendary items he’s stocked up for the weekend of April 4, 2025. Follow this guide to discover where you can find him and what goodies he has in store!

Where is Xur?

Now, Xur has settled permanently within The Tower’s Bazaar region, eliminating the need for weekend searches to find him.

Because the Marketplace is positioned between two rapid travel spots, players have the flexibility to choose either one as an entry point. Make your way to where Ikora and Hawthorne usually hang out, then search for the Ramen Shop near the back wall. With the shop in front of you, the hidden alleyway leading to Xur is on your right side.

Destiny 2 Class Armor and Exotic Cipher

Each week, Xur carries on providing typical quests, exotics, and legendary equipment. These tasks are essential not only to obtain a second fated engram but also to secure legacy exotic gear from the Tower’s kiosk. Players can collect a fresh cipher by successfully completing strikes or winning matches in Crucible or Gambit. Earn additional points by teaming up with fellow clan members or tackling more demanding activities.

Xur’s Exotic Armor

Contraverse Hold – Warlock gauntlets

Exotic Perk:

  • – Resist incoming damage while charging your Void grenade with Chaos Accelerant. Charged Void grenades return grenade energy on a hit.

This week, Voidwalker Warlocks are getting an exotic item that leans more towards Player vs Environment (PvE). While it’s not essential, the build is quite strong.

For this week, Voidwalker Warlocks will receive an exotic item that works better in PvE battles. It’s not a necessity, but it’s pretty good.

Stat Values (66 Total):

  • Mobility +6
  • Resilience +16
  • Recovery +12
  • Discipline +18
  • Intellect +2
  • Strength +12

Mechaneer’s Tricksleeves – Hunter gauntlets

Exotic Perk:

  • – Increases Sidearm airborne effectiveness, ready speed, and reload speed. While you’re critically wounded, swapping to a Sidearm reloads it and increases its damage. While this effect is active, Sidearm final blows reload the weapon and extend the effect’s duration.

This item caters more to those who specialize in sidearms; others might find it quite ordinary and unengaging. There are far more appealing alternatives out there.

Stat Values (66 Total):

  • Mobility +8
  • Resilience +14
  • Recovery +10
  • Discipline +6
  • Intellect +26
  • Strength +2

Actium War Rig – Titan chest armor

Exotic Perk:

  • – Steadily reloads a portion of your equipped Auto Rifle’s or Machine Gun’s magazine from reserves. Provides a moderate benefit to the airborne effectiveness stat of Auto Rifles and Machine Guns.

As an ardent enthusiast of auto rifles and machine guns, I can attest that while it might not boast the glamour of a rare, exotic weapon, it undeniably proves handy in my arsenal.

Stat Values (66 total):

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

Xur Inventory Items

As a dedicated Destiny 2 player, I can’t help but notice the significant upgrade in Year 7 to Xur’s inventory. Now we have a proper rank progression system, along with rewards that make each interaction worthwhile. The focus options are another thoughtful addition, offering more customization than ever before. What’s even more exciting is that Xur isn’t just dealing weapons and armor anymore; he’s also got other items up for grabs!

  • Tractor Cannon Catalyst
  • The Fourth Horseman Catalyst
  • The Xurfboard (Skimmer Board Vehicle)
  • Essentialism/Stoicism/Solipsism OR Exotic Cipher
  • Exotic Engram

  • Glimmer
  • Enhancement Core
  • Upgrade Module
  • Strange Gift (Random Item for 1 Strange Coin)

Xur’s Exotic Weapons

This weekend, the Year 7 update on Xur includes a new feature that allows him to provide more than one exotic weapon per visit. Here are the exotic items Xur currently offers:

Or you could say:

For this weekend’s visit, the Year 7 revamp of Xur now lets him offer multiple exotic weapons in a single session. Here are the exotic goods that Xur is selling 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.

Vigilance Wing – Pulse Rifle

  • – This weapon fires a 5-round burst. When a nearby ally is killed, gain health regeneration and increased movement speed.
  • – Improved weapon performance and greatly increased recovery when its wielder is the last living member of a fireteam.

Lord of Wolves – Shotgun

  • – When firing from the hip, this weapon shoots in full auto and damage and rate of fire are increased, but accuracy and range are decreased.

The Prospector – Grenade Launcher

  • – Grenades spawn cluster bombs upon detonation. Defeating targets creates Arc explosions.
  • – Holding down the trigger will fire this weapon at full auto.
  • Volatile Launch
