Xur’s Exotic Destiny 2 Haul!

by

Summary

  • Xur is back in Destiny 2 with new gear for players to explore for a limited time.
  • For exotic armor, Xur has Antaeus Wards, Transversive Steps, and Foetracer.
  • Xur’s exotic weapons include a new Hawkmoon, Thunderlord, Wavesplitter, and Cerberus+1.

Once more, Xur appears in Destiny 2, bringing fresh exotic and legendary equipment for gamers to explore temporarily. The conclusion is fast approaching for both Guardian Games within Destiny 2 by 2025 and Act 2. Despite a few days left until the reset, Titan players have secured the win this year, as Hunters and Warlocks are struggling to catch up at present.

Instead of taking breaks between seasons like before, Bungie is opting to transition straight into Act 3 during the regular Destiny 2 Weekly Reset. Key features of Act 3, such as new rewards, the upcoming Barrow-Dyad catalysts, and the reappearance of the Sunless Cell strike, have been teased in Bungie’s weekly blog post.

Every Friday marks a fresh start, signaling the arrival of Xur, the mysterious trader, back in the gaming world of Destiny 2. 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 items he’s stocked for the weekend of March 28, 2025.

Where is Xur?

Now, Xur permanently dwells within the Bazaar region of The Tower, eliminating the need for weekend searches to find him.

Because the Marketplace sits equidistant from both rapid travel spots, players have the flexibility to choose either one as their entrance. Navigate towards the spot where Ikora and Hawthorne frequently socialize, and you’ll find the Ramen Shop nestled against the back wall. With the shop facing you, the covert alleyway leading to Xur is located on your right side.

Destiny 2 Class Armor and Exotic Cipher

Each week, Xur performs his duties by providing regular quests, exotics, and rare gear. These quests are essential not only to obtain a second fated engram but also to get legacy exotic equipment from the Tower’s kiosk. Players can secure a fresh cipher by finishing strikes or victoriously completing Crucible or Gambit matches. Earning extra points is achievable by teaming up with fellow clan members or taking on more demanding activities.

Xur’s Exotic Armor

Transversive Steps – Warlock leg armor

Exotic Perk:

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

As a devoted Warlock fan, I must say, having free reloads that you can simply obtain by moving around sounds like a game-changer! These tools perfectly complement any Warlock build or subclass, even if they don’t seem flashy at first glance. In tight spots, they can really make a difference, and the quality of this week’s roll is impressive.

Stat Values (68 Total):

  • Mobility +3
  • Resilience +29
  • Recovery +3
  • Discipline +12
  • Intellect +15
  • Strength +6

Foetracer – Hunter helmet

Exotic Perk:

  • – 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.

Originally, this tool served Hunters as a kind of wall-penetrating vision to spot opponents. However, its function has now been altered to enhance weapon damage when striking enemies instead. Since there are fewer powerful adversaries in player versus environment (PvE) activities compared to within the Crucible, it’s more advantageous for PvP engagements.

Stat Values (68 Total):

  • Mobility +4
  • Resilience +18
  • Recovery +12
  • Discipline +6
  • Intellect +2
  • Strength +26

Antaeus Wards – Titan leg armor

Exotic Perk:

  • – While sliding with full class ability energy, you gain a frontal shield that reflects incoming damage. After reflecting damage, your class ability energy is depleted based on the amount of damage reflected.

An average PvP-focused exotic item, but it doesn’t perform well outside of that mode. However, the specific attributes of this piece are quite solid.

Stat Values (67 total):

  • Mobility +8
  • Resilience +16
  • Recovery +11
  • Discipline +24
  • Intellect +6
  • Strength +2

Xur Inventory Items

In the seventh year of Destiny 2, Xur’s marketplace has been enhanced with a genuine rank advancement structure, offering rewards, customization options, and more. Xur now offers items beyond weapons and armor, such as:

1. Exotic engrams (items that can be decoded to reveal a random piece of exotic gear)
2. Consumables like glimmer, motes of light, or ascendant shards
3. Bounties (special tasks given by Xur that reward players with valuable items upon completion)
4. Modifications for weapons and armor (to enhance their stats and capabilities)

  • MIDA Multi-Tool Catalyst
  • The FOurth Horseman Catalyst
  • The Xurfboard (Skimmer Board Vehicle)
  • Essentialism/Stoicism/Solipsism OR Exotic Cipher
  • Exotic Engram
  • Ascendant Alloy
  • Glimmer
  • Enhancement Core
  • Vanguard Engram
  • Strange Gift (Random Item for 1 Strange Coin)

Xur’s Exotic Weapons

This week’s update for Year 7’s Xur overhaul allows him to provide several exotic weapons during a single encounter. Here’s what Xur is offering this weekend:

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.

Cerberus+1 – Auto Rifle

  • – Shoots erratic bullets from all gun barrels at the same time.
  • – Aiming this weapon reduces the spread of its projectiles.

Wavesplitter – Trace Rifle

  • – Laser damage has three power levels that oscillate while the trigger is held down.
  • – Collecting an Orb of Power grants a period of maximum power that starts with an automatic reload. Sustained fire in this mode suppresses targets.

Thunderlord – Machine Gun

  • – Final blows with this weapon generate stunning lighting strikes from above. Lightning strikes grant a stack of Bolt Charge. Strong against Overload Champions.
  • – Each rapid kill with this weapon progressively increases reload speed for a short time.

Xur’s Destiny 2 Legendary Armor and Weapons

Xur’s Set of Legendary Armor and Weapons. All gear costs 50 Legendary Shards and 1000 Glimmer.

  • Friction Fire (Kinetic Submachine Gun)
  • Blood Feud (Kinetic Submachine Gun)
  • Death Adder (Energy Submachine Gun)
  • Stochastic Variable (Energy Submachine Gun)
